It does get easier, you know!
Cambridge has become a way of life for me with having so much weight to lose and being on it so long.
The important thing is that it WORKS!!

Hi Suzy,
I am on day 5 of cambridge, this is the first time I have tried it. I have watched these forums and sites for ages before eventually getting the courage to call my local councillor.
I can agree with everything you have said about hiding away and making excuses not to do things, thats been me for about the last 6 months as I am ashamed of how I have let myself go. however.... time for a change!
I am still hungry .. doesnt help when your hubby wants a mcds or my little boy leaves his sweeties around the house mind you. I am pleased with myself though that I have i managed to stick the plan. And this morning I couldnt resist going on the scales and looks like I;ve already started losing weight, yipee!
Are you doing Sole Source or SS Plus? I am on SS.
Only thing I really am missing is chewing food, I dont know if you are allowed chewing gum???
Keep up the good work everyone!! A little encouragement goes a long way!

And any other recipes would be gratefully appreciated.... I did try making choccy with the choccy orange but thought it was vile!!!!0
