Hi!

Yes that sounds like a good idea although my walks usually end at the pub with gallons of wine being drunk lol!

Day 2 for me, slight head ache feeling a little grumpy and wondering what ss+ meal to have!!

How is everyone else feeling??

Hey Char, feeling like my mind is trying to trick me into eating off plan. But the plan is 4 products, and it will stay like that for the next 12 weeks! Whenever I start Cambridge, I always have nightmares and sleepless nights - basically I think it's the body detox doing it's thing.

@Sahara, Usually stay out of the house on weekends, shopping, movies, expos whatever just staying home on the weekend makes me want to eat.

 

[Charlie Marsden]

How's everyone getting on? I froze my ready made shake tonight n had it as ice cream it was lush! Although they advise not to as it can kill the nutrients so I'm not saying do it .

Feels like 3 weeks not 3 days!! Wondering how I'm going to keep myself occupied over the weekend!! My weekend r u usually wine, pizza and meals out. Wish I could sleep through the weekend lol!

Hope your all good and staying strong

Hi char, are you talking about the tetras? I'm pretty sure everyone's done that!
Quick question for everyone, when is your weigh-in day? Just so we know who to encourage and when!
Have a great 100% day today

 

[Charlie Marsden]

Yeah Tetra's. I wasn't sure and didn't want anyone moaning at me lol!
Mine is Monday straight after the weekend. Just woke up after dreaming about Subway haha!!

Here's to day 4 100%

Oh and I had a look on Instagram last night under Cambridge diet, there was a lady that has lost 8 stone in 24 weeks!! Crazy!! She was SS.

Have a good day

Hi everyone!
I've been 100% SSing since Monday and don't feel too bad.
Tummy was growling last night and a slight headache today. My breath has also taken on a 'fruity' note so I'm hopeful I'm in the fat burning zone!
My weigh-in day will vary due to work commitments but I'll have my first set of results next week.
I'm just like you Charlie - my weekends can be very social and are mostly based around food and alcohol! I've got a post-festive do this weekend but I'm going to drive there to stop me from drinking. Aghhgg - this is where the willpower will really have to kick in!
When's your weigh-day enlighten?
Good luck all. Bring on Friday.

Helen, i know about the drinking parties... Feel completely rank afterwards but it doesn't stop me from having my drink on!! If nothing else, my liver's going to get a big break.
Friday nights, Saturday night and of course Sunday lunch are a big deal for the fam, it's the only time we get together and eat, so tonight will be a real test of wills.
My weigh-ins are Mondays so I can limit the damage. Used to be on Fridays the first time around, I used the weekend rewards excuse once too many.

Hope it is okay to join. Doing SS+ , 4 products + milk. Day 5 and feeling great. I use a hot tea with one sweetener to cheer me up. Must say that the spaghetti bol is a like saver and very tasty. Otherwise the cappuccino shake, extra spoon of coffee and crushed with ice. Always put a smile on my face. Could do without the peeing though

Good luck to all.

Way to go Charlie! That was quite a loss. Don't despair, your body will let go of what i doesn't need, just hang in there. Drink plenty of water as well as that will help flush out your system.

Don't think you took the last version Have updated it

Not everyone does so you just keep plugging at it! If you're being 100%, the weeks you don't lose pounds, you'll decrease cm-wise and that's good too!

Re your job, good luck!! Xing my fingers for you, you never know!
