Cambridge Diet

Joannef_2

Thanks.

I will be having christmas and boxing day off but won't be drinking alcohol. I will still have the 3 shakes but just have a dinner instead of the fourth shake (I'm 5ft11 so on 4 a day). I know people say you shouldn't have days off but I am certain I will have no trouble getting back into it as I'm totally impressed with Cambridge so far especially now as people are starting to notice a difference in me.

I will have a christmas dinner but I don't eat turkey, christmas pudding or mince pies so I'm not quite sure what my boyfriend's mum is cooking me although I'm really looking forward to whatever it is!

Well you have a head start with no temptation on the Christmas pudding front!

I am not having alcohol either - it is not to be recommended anyway for folks whom have been SSing.

Has everyone abandoned the Cambridge Diet except me?

Anyone restarting in January?

No I haven't abandonded it!!

My target for Christmas was to lose 2stone in total but I'm going to miss that by 6lbs but I'm more than happy atm :j . I'm having 2/3 shakes a day and a meal and with all the "outings" I've had in the run up to Christmas I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone.

I shall have Christmas dinner but not the Christmas pudding - we always leave that until later but then I will probably not eat any.

Losing just the weight I have I am now into trousers I haven't been able to wear because I thought they looked too tight and now one pair I can't wear because they are too big!! I gave lots of my clothes away - together with original tags on - as I didn't think I would ever get to wear them. How wrong was I:rolleyes: . Still I am not bothered as they went to a good cause. I would like to lose about 3 stone more and am targetting that as my 2008 resolution.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy 2008! :T :T :j :j

I've been reading quite a lot of the posts on here. Congratulations to you all, I love the way you all motivate each other.

I met someone who'd lost a lot of weight with lighter life and was interested other than it was quite expensive and the cambridge diet appears the same but cheaper. I've left a message with a local CD counsellor to ring me as I really want to do this diet. I've got 3stone 4llbs to lose. What I was wondering is do I need to get a form completed by my doctor before I start? I'm fit and healthy, no medical conditions nor have I ever had any and am not on any medication. Also how long does it take for you to be able to start the diet after you have seen a counsellor?

many thanks in advance for any advice.

Hope you all had a good Christmas.

Hi, I am starting on the 7th!

As long as you arent on any medication etc then you can start straight away, once you see your C she will give you all the shakes, soups etc. So you can start as soon as you see her/him!

Best of luck

I'm going back to Cambridge diet on Thursday, my appointment is at 6pm

I started the diet in Jan this year and lost a total of 4 stone but had a bad week one week then couldnt seem to get back on track, in the end I gave up because I was losing 6 pound one week and then putting it back on the following week and I was worried about that

Hopefully this time I'll manage to lose another 4 stone which will take me to my target weight. I go on holiday 16 Feb so I'm hoping to lose 2 stone by then (is that a bit ambitious??), I just hope when I come back from hols that I'll be able to get back on the diet

I've weighed myself this morning and think I've put on about a stone :eek: so better make that 5 stone to lose!

I'll update my signature on weigh day, can't wait to get started now I feel so sluggish, I cant wait until I get into ketosis and feel full of energy!
