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.

Yes my lovely @Delly1977 I had my weigh in on Wednesday and lost a whopping 6lbs which has been my greatest loss since the water weight came off.. over the moon.. I’m thinking to revert to something I used to do before which is drink 5 cups of green tea a day... it’s sounds much lol but it’s burns the fat off...
How is it going for you? I think me and you are on the same time scale..you on week 5 now ? Xx

Anyone got any tips for breath problems? I literally avoid being too close to some one as I’m worried they might get a whiff of my breath..and I done some research and found our airwaves is the lowest in calories but I would love to find those listerine strips that melt in your mouth..all supermarkets used to sell them before years ago but now can’t find them anywhere Xx

Oh @Mexyy that's absolutely brilliant...you're smashing it 💪💪💪

I got the Listerine strips off Amazon when I was last on plan....and Gold Spot spray.....will have a look if they're still available x

The other day I went to my boys parents evening and as we were leaving the teacher said....oh I think he needs his pad changing....she thought he'd done a 💩 but he hadn't. It was my breath! Haha x

Ooh I make a cold green tea with 2 litres of water and a couple of tea bags, hustler them brew over night....I quite like green tea. Why 5? Is that the amount you need for it to work? X

@Delly1977 thank you so much for the link...I think it’s definitely worth the price as my breath is kicking..... loooooollllll about the teacher situation..I feel your pain..lololll
I envy you that you like drink tea..I purely put up with the flavour because of weight loss effect...
And super amazing that you leave it over night..the effects are amazing the more concentrated it is..
I say 5 cups because..the more tea bags you consume And off course you need to leave the teabag in there ..the more effect it has..such as the natural high caffeine in it..and when you drink it hot/warm it helps in melting fat in your body.. xx

What is the gold spot spray btw?

And how are you?

I’m currently going through horrible caffeine effects from coffee..I never had this problem with green tea even though it has high caffeine too..I get so irritated until I have my coffee in the morning...and frustrated and get agitated for no reason xx

Well I've not weighed myself but dear god, I must weigh less!! Yesterday I was on the toilet for an hour and a half!! There was a lot of sweating, shaking and sobbing going on! This morning so far it's only been half an hour. I'm on a massive laxative routine to clear this impacted bowel.

I could have done with all this before weigh day 😁

@RedDhalia sounds horrid! Drink plenty to rehydrate. Bet you’ve lost a few pounds!

I’m currently sat her whilst my family tuck into burgers 😩😩😩 it’s difficult. Luckily my weigh in yesterday showed a 5lb loss so I’m even more focused. 15lb loss in two weeks. Bring on week 3!!

Just about to grab my caramel bites from the freezer, last ages!

@Mexyy I shall keep drinking the green tea then...inhale the one with mint...its nice! (Ish)
Gold spot is breath spray...it was the only one you could have several years ago to keep you in ketosis....not sure if that's still the case!

@RedDhalia oh your poor poor bumhole! 😂 Its not pleasant...I take a weekly dose of dulcolax. I only have 1 tablet as 2 and I'm bobbing my pants 😂😂

Oh @Allysan that is absolutely bloody brilliant....you are smashing it!!! I am thrilled to bits for you x 😘😘😘😘😘

I am just going to put my caramel bites in the freezer...thanks for the tip! Xx

Oh I don't know if I said that I'd gotten the new fusion bars this week.... Chocolate and Orange chew bars....only got 2 but they're delish so will have them again!

Has anyone tried the new Peanut bars? I am gutted my beloved Peanut Crunch are being discontinued 😩 x

@Delly1977 I’m very against chocolate and orange together. It’s wrong 😂 but they seem to be very popular. I’d love a strawberry chocolate though 🤤🤤

My consultant doesn’t seem to have many products and have not tried the peanut one, hopefully she gets some soon. I love peanuts!

Hope you’re all having a great weekend, I really struggle with weekends especially when the weather is terrible and you don’t want to go out. I’m going to crack on with some work xx

Oh @Allysan that really made me LOL! 😂😂😂

Yes, I struggle at weekend too....I'm just about to have a big pamper session and try to distract myself x

@Delly1977 I copied your pamper idea. I’m a shower person and haven’t taken a bath in forever, years and years. It’s was lovely. Candles, bubbles and salts. Then after I painted my nails, again something I have done in a long time. Hope you enjoyed yours x

I did @Allysan...I had treated myself to a massive soap and glory tin from boots, it was less than half price so couldnt resist!

So I had a face mask, a hair mask, I got in the bath and dropped in the deliciously scented bath bomb.

I hadn't read the leaflet that came with the tin had I?.

So, the bath bomb had glitter in it 😳 Oooh my fanny resembled a christmas tree 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Other than that in had a lovely, relaxing time. A little bit of self care goes a long way x

@Delly1977 loooolll DIY vagazzle lol xx

Haha @mexyy! How you doing?

Any weigh ins this week girls? I'm not weighed for another week so will celebrate your losses instead!

@LozBoz1972 you still going blind? X

@Delly1977 😂😂 that’s so funny, shine bright light a diamond!

It’s gone a bit quiet here.

My weigh in is Friday so will let you know.

I’m out Saturday night for drinks, I’ve already decided I’m driving so I’m not tempted. Sparkly water will be my drink of choice

Oooh @Allysan....San Pelligrino is better than Prosecco. FACT! I got some for Valentines day lol x

Hi Everyone, sorry not been posting !
Well I’m now officially on step 2! I’m 9stone 9 and I feel brilliant!!
Eating is very strange though ! X

Hey guys hope you are all well!

@Delly1977 - was a bath and early night for me (not that type of early night)😂

Everyone is doing super well with weigh loss 👍🏻 well done! Had my weigh in yesterday - I have blind weigh ins - I’m down in weigh and inches 🥰 Bring on Week 4!

Brilliant @westhill11...you have smashed it! You enjoy every mouthful of your step 2! Keep me posted when you move to step 3 as my hubby will be moving up in a few weeks and I'm quite anxious that I'll buy all the wrong things and make him put on lol x

Oh @lozboz1972 I can't wait until you get your results! Are you going to do blind weigh ins all the way through? I do admire you x

@Lisapendy19...how you doing?? 😘

Hi guys I'm sorry not checked in I've had such a busy week.
I went to friends in Saturday for her birthday she made me chicken salad but I had a bottle of wine 🙈 I still lost 1lb though that's with the dreaded monthly arriving last night.

I have to be good now for the next 2 weeks as I go to Rome xxx
