Cambridge diet - 10 stone to lose

[Hobbio]

Hi Char, I've skimmed your thread after reading your first post in full. Top work on dropping so much already! I get the impression from your posts that you're fully focused on the result, and the journey is just something you need to go through to get there. That's a good thing in my opinion, after all nobody likes a 10 hour flight but we'll do it to get to the Caribbean!

Keep up the good work and you'll be where you want to be

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on for a couple of days! Just had a busy day Friday and Saturday. Haven't got round to reading the mag yet but had a quick flick through and it looks good. Strangely I did keep thinking about buying one but now I get to try one for free so it os all good!

Still 100% and not struggling now, got my right head back on I am pleased to say and feel. Went out on Saturday night clubbing with my friend, her mum, stepdad and her cousin. Stuck to my water as coke zero not sold there. Still pulled more than 3 times, despite not trying or looking which just goes to show although I still think I look awful other people don't. I think the biggest highlights were that my friend and her family said it now shows I have lost lots of weight ( I was beginning to think that nobody was ever going to notice which put a dampener on things a bit ) and also the dress I wore which was tight before cambridge now hangs off me. Don't think I can wear it anymore really as I feel it looks a bit silly now and it was so annoying keep having to rearrange it so I was decent. Going to have to think about wearing smaller clothes now as the jeans and skinny jeans I was wearing at my biggest keep falling down and the skinny jeans don't look like skinny jeans now!!

Thanks hobbio for your comment!!! They all help me, really they do.

Ms how are you finding exante products? Glad you are back on track and can't wait to see where we all are in 17 weeks!! Should be able to make a massive dent in our weight loss by then... what date is 17 weeks?? Where are you going on holiday? X

Guess I must be around day 44 by now??

Well done char

Glad u enjoyed clubbing. There's nothing in the rules to say stay at home and be miserable! As for pulling... Twit twoo!!! Bet that feels great

People that you are close to font notice your weight loss because they don't focus on your size. The comments will be rolling in soon I always say write them down and re-read them when you are feeling weal!

That's such a good tip to write down comments and read them when you feel down. Thank you. I shall do that when the comments come because I always look at myself and think, it doesn't make much difference or whatever when I'm in the black clouds of doom mood.

And yes, Char, you're doing brilliantly well. And you should be so proud of all you've achieved. And we can all do this. Come on. We aren't a bunch of weak women, we are strong - we've started something amazing.

Just to let you know - I've bought on Exante offers :

50 pack chocolate shake
25 and 25 chocolate orange bar and toffee, nut and raisin bar
50 Thai chicken soup
2 week starter pack [this allowed me to try out lots of other things]
50 pack of the pasta carbonara which should arrive today

So I've really spent a packet up front and now am really committed to losing weight. No excuses on. I am truly enjoying the products a lot more than the CWP ones.

 

[char1983a]

Hey, thanks forever and kitty.

Definitely a good tip to write comments down and re read them. Must remember to do that!!!

Everyone seems to be switching to exante... I like cambridge and exante products, but exante bars are huge in comparison. I just can't stick to exante for some reason, just need a consultants touch!!! If I could do exante I would, just to save some money but as far as I am concerned I would rather spend more and get healthy and happier than stay where I was and get worse and unhappier.

We can all do this, and it will be so amazing!! And if we can all do this then we can do anything we want to!!!

Exactly. It doesn't matter what the brand of product is, it is sticking with what works for you that counts.

How's the water drinking going today?

 

[char1983a]

About to have my first bottle, can normally get through my 750ml pretty quickly then I will have my porridge! It is really annoying drinking so much water though lol!!! How do you find drinking the water?

I find the drinking water really hard. I struggle through it all day but I keep sipping all the time because I really want the weight to move. Have had 1.5 litres so far, and sipping the next 500ml mug I've got on my table.

 

[char1983a]

I used to drink my daily water as quickly as possible so it was all done, but i used to be on the toilet so much for a few hours so recently I have changed that to drinking one bottle before each product. Because I use a 750ml bottle I know I have to drink 3 a day which makes it easy in my head. I tried switching to a 500ml bottle but it just confused me and I kept forgetting how many I had drunk!!

LOL , yessss them places and the smell of any fast food really becomes too hard to handle , that's when our feet pick up speed to get away from the smell , like on Saturday with the dounut van .
are you finding you have to pay a lot on Cambridge?
Pros and cons ok , Cambridge you can chat to a good CDC if you get one that's good , plus more choices with bars .
Exante limited on bars , and no weigh in , plus can't swap your food if you don't like . Exante is said to be the highest in vlcd when they looked into it , but still saying that you can same results out as its still vlcd .
Price exante buying offers and bumper packs is a lot cheaper . search on other sites for offers on exante too .
I like exante in taste as the same as Cambridge , LL love theres , just don't like the price . Only one don't like is the shakes on Slim save , they are thick and I can't stomach them .
hows you ? so you fancy coming over to Exante soon ?

 

[MsJMC]

hi char
Wow great about the clothes that you cant wear them anymore .
Its day 2 for me , today feel thirsty , I need to try find coke zero , I think its a shop tonight as I have also put my daughter on foods that will help her lose her 20 pounds , I know i'm in for hell as she will soon fight me for something good ..... theres gonna be a lot of attension in this house soon with two dieters lol
Pulling heyyy good for you , and yes you wonder when people notice , its all worth the rollercoast ride , just strap yourself in its going to be twist and turns , ready for them ?
I'm going away on 27th oct for one week to spain , Lloret De Mar . so the plane is a big reason too get my finger out next reason well the first reason I started was mainly going to look around secondary school in Oct i'd like to be not so big by then .... as I think people will be looking at me and i'll be thinking I must be the biggest here so then I start looking about for someone my size and don't rest until I have found one lol
Plus more reasons these two are the main ones .
Let me catch up with your other posts hold onnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Wow that's great your in the zone , really do need lots of choices on VLCD as this is a make or break on any diet ....

 

[MsJMC]

Yes they all give same results these VLCD , like more meals on this as when your on it for a while it becomes boring . I have a few choc velvets left in my freezer which I've been waiting for that hot day to have it .... where is it lol .... my feet are cold today , good to do this now guys as in winter its just so hard when feeling cold .
I know its not good weather out and hoping this week it will get warmer .
Yes Char we are all with you , wow day 44 ..... yes you've done amazing you keep 100% and you know that with good days and bad your going to win the battle .
The exante shakes taste good I even like the porridge i'm yet to try the pasta , I need more bars as only 3 left , must have one daily , its the highlight of the day .

Totally agree. It could get very boring very quickly if all you had was chocolate shake or just the soup or something. Really enjoyed the porridge this morning. The pasta is a bit too salty for me, but really satisfying and warming. I have been feeling the cold today. Have on a cami, a long sleeved top and a woolly cardigan.

 

[kittyperry]

my feet are cold today

Goodness, yes. I'd die of the cold in winter. I'll be glad to be slimmer and over the need for total solutions by then.

 

[char1983a]

Cambridge prices not 2 bad - 3 products a day 43 a week, I can live with that. Coke zero, live for them!!! Don't know if I could do this without my coke zero!!! Have a major freak out if I don't have a can of coke zero, have a major freak out if anyone wants one of them. WILL NOT SHARE THEM!! Lol selfish me!!

Never been to Spain, but I am going to Paris to see fleetwood mac in October...couldn't get a ticket for the uk so decided to go to Paris instead. It is my 30th birthday present to myself, not sure whether to make a long weekend of it or whether to go for a week. I am going on my own though. If I am still on sole source then I want to stick to it while I am away, will feel like a bit of a travesty going to Paris and not eating but can always go again when I am eating, read too many horror stories about people going mad and putting a stone on. Still I should be the lightest I ever remember being by then. Who knows maybe I will meet a nice french guy and stay there lol!!! Luckily I have never had to have an extension belt on planes, didn't even know they existed until reading on here about how people have needed one/get scared of needing one. Will definitely not need one by then!

Sometimes I really struggle to have 3 products, I know it is bad but there have been a few occasions when I have only had 2 in a day.

I have switched permanantly to tetra packs now, originally I only had 1 or 2 either as a treat or because I was busy and after that I just suddenly couldn't be bothered to mess around making shakes up.

I am quite boring in as much as I normally have apple and cinnamon porridge, lemon yoghurt bar and a choc tetra. Tried mixing it up this week by getting 5 porridge, 4 peanut crunch, 4 lemon bars, 3 choc tetra, 3 strawberry and 2 banana but I really miss having all chocolate. I only got 5 porridge because porridge is too inconvenient if I am having a busy day!! Decided I actually don't like banana tetra!! Still only got one left!!

Only just over 5 weeks til food break week. Was adamant at first that I didn't want to do it but as time has passed the more I have thought about it the more I think it is a good idea, will hopefully reboost me to carry on and reboost my weight losses as maybe they will plateau by then!!

 

[char1983a]

Oh and definitely not looking forward to being cold in winter. Will be cold not just because of cambridge but also because will have hardly any body fat left to keep me warm!!! Lets all pray for a mild winter this year. I find it too uncomfortable to wear more than one layer of clothes on bottom half, can just about wear a top, light cardigan and coat but have never been able to drive wearing a coat. Am worried I might suddenly need like 10 layers of thermal clothing in winter and still feeling lile an ice cube!! Can't wait to buy a sexy slim winter coat and fit into it

 

[char1983a]

Isn't it funny some of the things we look forward to? Oh and winter will be a good excuse for me to buy lots of nice knee high boots, just to keep me warm of course... the other 3 things I definitely will buy, a really beautiful dress, a nice real leather fitted jacket and maybe 1 really nice pair of jeans, maybe some levi's or something.

Can see the clothes shopping getting really expensive because I think I might get a bit obsessed with it....at least for a while.

Right. I'm going to down some coke zero tonight then because I just had my third product - a lovely, crunchy bar.

Paris is glorious. Yes the food is divine but there's so much to do that you can really have a blast in Paris without the food. My husband and I went there for our honeymoon and were there for three weeks. Saw practically everything and went to the Louvre 5 times and still feel I missed loads.

You'll have so much fun in October. What a super birthday present to yourself. Besides the money you don't spend on food can be spent on shopping and other great things
