Urgh Teenage problems, I hear you there 
I know its frustrating having what we all feel are "little" losses when losing 2 or 3lb, I always tell myself...I could lose that on SW! But could we really? I have done every diet known to man and I have never had a consistent at least 2lb loss each week! Thats a lot of fat to lose, real fat that you do not have attached to you anymore! That has to be a good thing!
Keep going hun!

you are doing really well
i know the feeling about little losses i`m doing 2 or 3 a week but it`s still a loss.
keep smiling Dawn and keep up the good work, you`ll soon see the difference in yourself.
we still got to have that cuppa too

Hi Kaz, thanks for the text in the week, it came when I really needed it. My middle son has been off school last half of this week, hoping they keep their bugs to themselves as dreading being poorly again whilst in CD as everything feels exaggerated. Actually thinking about it whilst on CD I find even emotions/ thoughts are often exaggerated too or is it just be being bonkers, lol. I see your doing brilliantly following CD too
My friend gave up the other day which was a shame as he'd lost 15 pounds in 10 days, however my mom is still going strong xxClear As yoghurt said:Urgh Teenage problems, I hear you there

Hi Clear
I must admit I have had those feelings like I can bloody lose this on SW etc... as I see my friend who loses easily have decent losses on it, but I'm
a strong believer in the Cambridge Diet as its clearing my skin up and taking me away from food with the hope I can re-educate myself on food choices with new taste buds when I move up the Steps. I'm Team Cambridge all the way to goal and beyond

You are so strong! Good to hear you're doing well.
I've had a good week and am looking forward to a gourmet meal tonight (reservation at restaurant made almost 2 months ago!). Am following SS until dinner time and planning extra workouts both today and tomorrow to help mitigate the damage.
Have a great weekend!

Glad you've had a good week, hope there is no damage for you xx
Just had a SS+ meal for the first time in a couple of weeks as fancied a bit of variation within the CD Plan rules. I usually just stick to the four packs. Anyway I had a 2 egg omelette with a few button mushrooms and pepper in with a half side serving of barely cooked broccoli. I actually savoured the taste of the broccoli it was sweet and very nice

Sounds scrumptious! I hope you enjoyed it! Almost as good as the meal I had in the restaurant tonight (I describe in detail in my diary)!
Am curled up with a bottle of water and the computer while watching some ridiculously bad film on tv. Very relaxing! And other than exercising tomorrow to burn off dinner, I'm not planning on doing much of anything tomorrow...all right, perhaps some vacuuming, but that's it!
Hope you're enjoying the weekend!

I found your diary last night, I didn't realise you kept one
Well I'm off for a walk with the kids up the Wrekin, I was planning it and looking forward to it but now I'm going I'm dreading it I'm frightened of not getting to the top and looking all red and puffy.
Anyways catch you later if I survive it xx

Well that was an experience, it took me an hour and I had to get my son to push me up a couple of times but how proud did of myself did I feel when I got to the top We're going to do it again to see if I can get fitter and beat my time. My friend who's very fit & slim can get up walking in 22 minutes.

Congratulations! And it's nice to that you're doing things you might not have done before ... Now you have a baseline for the walk and can measure your progress against it. Way to go!
Just realised I'm 5 weeks and 2 days in 100% I can't go as far as saying I'm enjoying this diet but then I wasn't enjoying my lifestyle before either. Makes me sound quite sad but I felt so restricted by my size and still do only less so. I'm feeling quite impatient to reach my goal and learn how to stay there. I'm hoping to reach goal by my birthday at the beginning of August. I'm looking forward to the self confidence that comes with it and hoping that I may start looking for love and a long term relationship
Hi Sarah, I spend a lot of passing time lurking on these forums reading the success studies and photos which spur me on. I have days where I feel really good and others the complete opposite. On the whole I'm feeling ok and putting my all in to succeeding with Cambridge but feel very unmotivated with everything else in my life at the moment. I have to say though my mood and achievements has improved in the last 5 weeks or so I try to imagine how I'll feel in another 5 weeks, 10 weeks and beyond and look on positively most of the time. Then sometimes my goal seems forever away when in reality it's now just 5 months away and at these times I wish I could sleep away the next few months. I guess I'm just an impatient person but with sheer determination xx

Just waiting outside the clinic for my last colonic irrigation session 3/3, won't be having it done again till I've completed the CD Steps.
Plan of action this coming week is to walk more and drink more water

Way to go girl!!! That is a lot of weight lost! Congratulations!!!
I told a friend of mine last week or so that I had lost 10lbs - she went and got out 10lbs worth of potatos.... was a lot of potatos! Just makes you appreciate all the more what is coming off our bodies. Woo hoo!
Enjoy your day - you are probably all smiles.

Just reflecting The first two weeks were hardest for me and I never got the ketosis rush of energy other people speak about, I did stop feeling insanely hungry though but even that doesn't stop the internal chatter and having to fight myself sometimes. I'm having a I feel sorry for myself day today even though I've been weighed with a decent result. I think the biggest thing is having to deal with emotions instead of feeding them.
