Lost 2 stone on cambridge - need a buddy here on in!!!!

Hi Ladies,

I started on Cambridge in mid-April with amazing results (I lost 2 stone in about 5 weeks) however I then went on holiday in Italy and enjoyed all it had to offer (pizza, pasta - you get the picture!) and put half a stone back on. Ever since then I've struggled immensley. I've done cambridge for a day or two and then stuffed my face, done cambridge, stuffed my face etc.... the result has been that my weight has stayed the same for the past 2 months and my eating has been erratic so I feel really crappy health wise. It seems virtually impossible to get past the first week but I know when I do I'll be home and dry as my hunger will really subside.

I'm determined to nail this and am starting again TODAY and want to lose a further 20lb. My husband finds it hard to support me as I tell him not to let me eat and to be cruel to be kind etc but I nag him so much I just wear him down poor thing!

Does anyone want a cambridge diet buddy? I think if I had someone else to buddy up with it would help immensely as its sometimes hard for family and friends to understand how hard it can be at times....

Would love to hear from anyone in a similar predicament who would like a diet buddy too!

Thanks......

Im glad to meet you

I have been experiencing the exact same thing. Started the cambridge in march this year weighing in at 11stone 7 pounds by may went down to 9stone 10pounds but for some reason I found myself indulging for large amounts of food. Now im 11stone kicking myself. Your right friends and family think your absolutely mad to be on the diet in the first place, so the support is never there.

Don't give up

Hi Katie,

Your story sounds so familiar. I started Cambridge in October last year and lost over 2 stone. I was fine over Chrismas, had treats and meals but still had my 3 shakes a day and so didn't put any weight on or lose any. But after that it was so hard to get back into sole source, I was having my milk shakes but also eating whatever I wanted. I just stayed the same for weeks, eventually gave up because of money problems but I am now back on it and more determined than ever. Holiday is only 43 days away so I am aiming to lose at least a stone by then! I just keep thinking that I don't need biscuits, sweets, crisps etc and pinching a biscuit or sweet won't make me less hungry so I just don't have it. On day 4 so will hopefully be in ketosis soon, then its much better. Like the other lady said, a couple of months out of your life is nothing and it will make you feel soooo much better, remember how you felt first time round, with clothes looking nicer and people complimenting you, it was the best feeling in the world for me! Good luck and in touch.

Hi Katie,

Well done for losing as much as you have already, i know how this goes i went on the diet last October and by Christmas i had lost over 2 stone also but then [food at Christmas] i put on half a stone also but got straight back on it and lost another stone. I have got down to a weight i like until i had 2 operations in may which layed me up well until now and i have put on over a stone again and i feel horrible. The trouble is ive done the same as you started every Monday to last only a day then its like something clicks in my head and i am usually eating everything in sight the next day [there is no stopping me]. The trouble is it costs a lot of money just to use it for a day or so then cheat but we do it any way.
Myself and a friend have dieted together for over 10 years now but as ive had a opp they wont let me back on it until i heal and i have had an infection which wont heal so my friend has gone on it and im eating more now because im fed up they wont sell me it.
Just think [whats a couple of months out of your life to look and feel better] go for it show everyone you can do it this time you know you can because you have done it before.
Good luck
Don
