Cambridge Diet / 1:1 diet, anyone? 2020 targets?

[MrsHufflepuf]

Hi all, does anybody want to buddy up through weight loss journey? I'm feeling really positive. I have 6 stone to loose in order to qualify for any fertility treatment.

I'm on sole source, step one. Sticking to shakes this week. Might have some "meals" next week. Might treat myself to a bar next month.

I feel like the bars could be a slippery slope
for me... I prefer cutting all solids out.

Yes I know, not the healthiest diet long term.. I have no intention of gaining it all back. It's not for everybody, please be nice :) I need a kick start.

I love coming on here and seeing everyone cheer each other on.

Being 5.8 I was told I should be on 4 a day because if you’re a woman above 5.8 you should be. I however have chosen to do 3 a day because if I was half and inch shorter I could be. I’d look at other consultants, you need to find someone that suits you.

@Delly1977 whatever the outcome tonight, think of how far you have come and where you want to end up. We’re all here to cheer you on

BTW Adele looks amazing 😍😍

Hi guys. I'm going to have to bow out of this thread for a while I think.

I went to Southport spinal injuries clinic after my Cauda Equina episodes in December and they want me to go back as an inpatient on Thursday for 1-2 weeks. I'm seeing my neurosurgeon tomorrow, and the consultant today said that they may want to do further surgery based on my last scan when I went to A&E last week. If that's the case Southport will be postponed. Either way it's not what I was expecting and has come as a bit of a shock.

My OH took me for a nice meal after hospital today. I just wanted comfort food and tbh this diet has to come second over the next few weeks.

I will be returning to it though..

Oh and you know how I whinged about maintaining? It's because I am full to the brim with 💩 even though I'm going to the toilet.. my bowel is not working as it should. I recon I can now safely say I would have lost a good 4lb if that wasn't in there haha.

Best of luck to you... I'll still be reading and keeping a close eye on you all xxx

Ah thank you @Allysan, I think i will always hate weigh ins, but I know that I'm progressing and achieving no matter what the bloody scales say. I feel great in myself and I feel really positive about getting to hoal. No more fannying about, I need to reach goal and stay there!

Just booked a holiday in August as my incentive...how amazing will I feel on holiday at my always dreamed of goal weight? Very!!! X

Aww @RedDhalia how awful for you, I feel gutted for you. Good luck love, hope everything goes well and you can get to full health xx Take care xx ❤❤❤❤❤

P.S.....have a great big cream cake for me x

And a cream egg x

Lol x

Well 2lb off and did my measurements a total of 9 and a half inches gone off my body yippee.
I'm just having 3 products a day now I told her that's what I was happy doing xx

Lost 5lb so got my stone!

Hubby lost 8lb so got his stone and a half.

Wooooooòohooooooooooo x

@Lisapendy19 absolutely brilliant!! You must be buzzing with all those inches off! If you've done so well with 4 x products just imagine what you can do with 3 x

@RedDhalia you have something much bigger to focus on right now, I hope all goes well xxxx

@Lisapendy19 @Delly1977 massive well done to you both and Mr Delly of course, just fantastic 👏👏👏

@RedDhalia

Oh no - I hope everything goes ok! Come back and visit us and let us know you are ok! ❤️❤️

@Lisapendy19
@Delly1977

WELL DONE ladies - that is amazing! Love hearing how much weight everyone is shedding!!

I bloody hate weigh ins (even though I’m doing blind ones). X

Thank you everyone I'm so pleased 4lb and I've done a stone and a half. 🥰🥰🥰

@LozBoz1972 I hate them too! But a good result does spur you on.

All those times standing in the queue at SW, losing 1/2lb despite sticking to plan, cooking meals from the books, weighing everything and smashing the gym....whilst fat sylvia had 3 take away, 2 nights out and had lost 6lb lol x

Thanks girls, I am chuffed x

It's not easy but so worth it....1 down 6 more to go! Xx

Well done @Delly1977 on and up for us all.
@reddahlia hope you feel better soon , health first, diet you can come back to 👍

@Delly1977 Sylvia 😂😂😂 The whole time in the queue saying ‘I’ve definitely put on’

Yes @Allysan....I hated Sylvia! 😂😂😂😂 x

How’s everyone doing today? I’ve drove home with a cooked chicken in the car and didn’t eat it so I’m winning!

Smashed it @Allysan 👊🏻😂

Ok day for me - been 100% apart from my little orange smartie episode 😂 I’m on day 16, but today I don’t feel like I’ve lost any weight, think I need to know numbers next week to spur myself on.

Anyone got plans for Valentine’s Day? ❤️🌹

Well I shouldn’t have typed that earlier, I had a teeny nibble. My first trip up. My fault, I’ve been up since 5 and the first food to past my lips was at 4:30, I’ve not been hungry all day but as soon as I ate something I became so hungry. That’s definitely too late in the day to eat, I won’t do that again

@Allysan I know what you mean but you have done so well - don’t beat yourself up about it 😊

I’ve got my weigh in tomorrow and I’d really really like 4lb, my aim is 3lb a week but 4lb would give me a stone in 2 weeks, flabbergasting (what a great word!)

I’ve not been on top of my water intake this week, still getting plenty but not enough, so back on it.

Hope you all have a good day x

Also just to add. I love this diet. When you have so much weight to lose, it just seems impossible but when you can see the numbers dropping and your clothes feeling less snug, knowing the near enough every week will be a loss and you’re getting closer and closer to your goal. That goal feels achievable, there is an end in sight.

I’ve got a holiday this year and although I won’t be at goal I know I’ll feel better than I do now. What I’m also thinking about is my work’s Christmas party. I know it’s early but last year I didn’t even go because of how I felt about myself. This year however I will be there and I’ll be able to go shopping and buy something I want to wear, not something that covers my lumps and bumps the best.

I totally agree @Allysan, the goal does feel achievable and the changes happen at a nice speed!

Good luck for tomorrows weigh in x

@Mexyy was it your weigh in today?

@LozBoz1972 I'm going to completely ignore valentines day like I always do....I am about as romantic as a kipper 😂😂😂😂 Are you doing anything? X

CONGRATULATIONS @Delly1977 and @Lisapendy19 on you weight loss
Hard work pays off xx
