Do all the Cambridge diet drinks taste disgusting????

[IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern]

Started the cambridge diet this morning, trying to get a bit of weight off for my wedding.
I have only had one drink so far and if they all taste that bad I can see how the diet works you don't want to rush to the next meal cause you are still feeling sick from the first one.

I actually cannot believe I am doing this diet cause I just think it is madness on so many levels but hey ho the things we do, but I know I am going to really struggle if they are all horrid. If I am not eating I at least want to enjoy the little that is going into my stomach.

So I ...tried... to start today, amazingly lost 4lbs throughout the day?!?! But just broke down and made a cheese sandwich sobs I was so hungry....

dont worry abobut it juneybean...just keep trying dont let a cheese sandwich let u down...
i went for my...i dont remeber what week is it..but i gain 1 kg... 10 kg out of 16 left for me and i start gainning weight...am i stupid!?!?cos i feel like it

aww noo 10kg is really good though!! Keep at it

Ali I think I may have the same problem when I go for my weigh in on Thursday.
I've been eating bits of stuff here and there every day, and have been drinking wine . I'm currently showing 5lbs up on my weight last Thursday, so I'm hoping to get that off between now and then.
I'm also off on hols for 2 weeks next week and still haven't decided how to handle it.
I still want to lose another 1.5 stone, but don't want to have to take CD on hol with me.

Ohh enjoy your holiday just get back on the CD afterwards!

grrr i got the same prob!! im leaving for prague for 5days i wil do my best not to cheat..BUT ITS IMPOSSIBLE! i wil take cd with me...but not all ...but i need to lose that 10 kg..the money that i spend on this diet cant go just like that..i lost 6 and i need another 10..i think i can do it..
i put november as my last month of cd..untill november is 4 months..i think is possible to lose 10...slowly slowly we wil all make it! right?
btw i feel my body getting a bit jelly...and i heard of collistar creams..did anyone try them?

well I finally did get round to doing ss, I am now on day 4 and have honestly not cheated yet. I got very close today the dc were really winding me up and I headed straight for the fridge, had a rummage had a look in the snack drawer and in the end grabbed a can of coke zero and took deep breaths. I am so proud of myself for not caving in.
Now my ds wants to go out drinking tomorrow night!!! He likes us to go as a couple, so if i do go I can't drink on cd I will be too pissed too quick yet if I eat I will just loose my rythem, I really don't want to go. I am going to have to talk him out of it. I really want to stick at this.

Also how much water do you all drink?

I've cheated all week but have managed to lose 7lbs

Was: 19stone
Now: 18stone 7lbs

Going to a wedding tomorrow so will recommence on sunday

Hi, Can I jump in????????? Going to sound silly but desperate to lose weight. What is the cambridge diet and how do I get started??
It sounds like it really works and I am desperate to lose some weight as is DH.
I need to lose at least 2 stone and DH 4 stone . HELP!!!!!!!!!! Chocolate and wine our downfall

Morning
My weigh in on Thurs went as I feared - I'd gained back the 4lb I'd lost the previous week so I'm back at 12st 3lbs.
It's my own bloody fault for not sticking to it. It's holiday fever - just allowing myself this here and that there, and far too much wine. Trouble is I've not even started my holiday yet .
I've got more shakes and bars and will see the CDC again when I get back. She suggested just having one for breakfast and just doing my best for the other meals.

Ali, hope you have a lovely holiday, and manage to stick to it if that's what you decide to do.

Juneybean, well done! 7lbs is fantastic.

Caykon, keep at it. It really does work, but you have to stick to it. I try to drink about 3lt of water a day, in addition to any shakes/tea/coffee.

MaggsS - The Cambridge Diet

Hello, never mind Oggs, it will be gone again before you know it! have a great holiday

Alinali - hope your holiday is fab too - am v envious, we're not going anywhere until the end of September.

Caykon, well done for getting started, I am also guilty of rooting around in the fridge when the children are driving me nuts. Have also managed to avoid giving in but sometimes its very hard!

Juneybean - 7lbs is a fab loss, congratulations!

MaggsS - let us kow how you get on. Personally, I have found this the most successful and easiest diet I have ever done. It has its hard moments but on the whole I am not hungry and I am losing weight so quickly that I feel really motivated to continue.

My weigh in was good this week, lost 5lbs so very pleased. Have now lost 2stone 3lbs in about 7 weeks. Am almost at my pre baby weight of nearly 4 years ago. Still want to lose another stone and a half or so, so will stick at it a while longer. Counsellor is away for 2 weeks now though so will have to remain motivated with no weigh day to aim for next week. Am also going out for my mums birthday lunch tomorrow so will be eating then. Will just stick to low carb and hope for the best!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Toomanyshoes you are an inspiration - you've done so well!
Enjoy the birthday lunch .

Hi, Thanks for the info oggsfrog. Will look into it.I am desperate to lose weight after 3 children. I just don't seem to have any energy and I am sure that is weight related. Do you have to buy the shakes etc from a special counsellor or from a chemist / supermarket? Is it expensive?
Good luck to everyone and keep going. Well done

on the website you can click find a Counseller

MaggS, you have to buy them from a counsellor. It is a very low calorie, low carbohydrate meal replacement diet. There are different levels, some of which incorporate a small meal. You need to drink a lot of water.

It does work, but you have to stick to it.

Thanks oggsfrog.Will take a look at the website and contact the counsellor.

Have given up the wine as from today and have started using my Wii fit. It's a start!!

Have a good holiday

hello all...
well ive just cancelled my weight for today...i dont feel like taking alla that shakes with me..its extra weight in my laggauge... but she recommemned that i keep in salads, vegetables, chicken or fish...so i keep my wieght that i have now... in the other hand i dont want to stop it cos im afraid i wont be able to be back to cd again..
have a nice holidays all!!!

Hi all. I've just found this thread and have been reading through it. Im on day 3 of CD and have a nasty taste in my mouth so im taking that as a good sign.

I have about 84 lbs to lose so quite a bit to go. My next way in isnt untilcnext saturday so need a bit of motivation.

So far i've been sole sourcing 100% I havent been tempted as such but I cant stop thinking/ smelling food. I also get hungry earlier than usual. last night was quite bad but I found the internet a good distraction.

Im loving the tip about the flavoured water/jelly. I cant have them for another week or so but definately gonna be the thing i turn to if the evenings are bad.

I cant wait for the "im not hungry" feeling to kick in, Then Im hoping I can do 100% SS until goal without "cheating" although i do have a few planned deviations such as a wedding etc. then I'll do the whole protein thing that you guys suggest. does anyone/ have the same amount to lose or am im the heaviest? Anyone that's lost large amounts, it would be motivating to know.

Ta

hi all sounds like you are all doing very very well. I slipped off the cd for a while as had loads of events and a hol, but didn't put any weight on - phew!!! so started back on it yesterday as if from scratch.
I did get in to the habit of eating again but was desperate to start back on track so looking forward to next weigh in...
I must drink more water though def my downfall... i just keep forgeting..
Keep up the good work folks, you know it will be worth it and your not on it forever just a few weeks to get you on track, thats my inspiration, lol hope it helps.

Ohhhh bugger. Have got my weigh in tomorrow after 3 weeks off and I'm dreading it.
I've gained well over half a stone .

Will report back.

back from holidays....gained 1,5kg only..im amazed as had sweets in my mouth all day long everyday for 2 weeks...lol...
well im back to cd and my councellor said is better if we start from week 1 again!!! aaaaaaa first week was hell dont wanna go through it again..but ihave to...
i think i need support or someone forcing me to do it..cos its like i dont have the power like b4...and she said i have to lose 3kg MINIMUM..it stresses me upp!!
helpppp

where is everyone

Well done Ali. That's not much of a gain at all . Good luck for this week and remember to drink lots of water.

I've been avoiding the thread in shame .
I gained 10lbs during the 3 weeks I was off the diet and am really struggling to get back on track.

Last week I lost 4lb. I'm due to be weighed again tomorrow and don't know if I can bear to go as I've not lost anything.

Really need to knuckle down but it's so hard after all this time off.

i have the same prob with u..i got it for a week now and im not able to do it..i desire pasta..chocolates..ice creams etc.. and really its not easy to start from the first week..i feel weak..i asked her today if i can have soem bars..i dont care if i lose 1 kg per week..no need for 3kg..slowly slwoly...this diet is so easy to lose kg but so easy to lose control as well..

Hi all,
Sorry for the hijack but I have 11 cd packs left over from when I was doing the diet and wondered if anyone would like them,before I throw them away.
They have a best before date as the end of this month but I would imagine they'll even be ok,going into November aswell.
If anyone wants them,please CAT me your address and I'll send them to you.
