Lucy's Cambridge diet thread!

**SimplyLucy** · 04-03-2009, 09:47 AM

I've lost another 3lb this week.

Didn't think I'd lost any as I feel really bloated this week so was chuffed with the 3lb.

31lb in 7 weeks!

That's brilliant Lucy - keep up the good work

Hello all!

I missed a week, you can all tell when I've had a gain. I wasn't well weekend before last, doctors think I have gallstones so I'm having a scan on Friday.

I gained 2lb last week.

Well this week I've been 100% and lost 9lb.

Thats 41lb in 10 weeks, only 1lb to go to my 3 stone!

well done lucy, and well done for getting back on track

I am back on track after 1lb gain (2 weeks off, night out and a birthday

was pleased with only 1lb teehee)

nearly at the 3st well done, how you feeling?

**SimplyLucy** · 25-03-2009, 03:04 PM

I'm feeling great this week.

I've discovered the orange water flavouring and it's ade me increase my water intake by loads, hence the huge loss this week!

Lucy

You are an inspiration.

Since coming back off of my hols I have put on 7lb and feeling really slugish and cannot do one day let alone 7.

From reading your thread I have decided to go and give it another go.

Well done and thank you.

Well done Lucy. I only lost half a pound. I don't drink much at all during the day, cup of tea in the morning, sips of peach flavoured water during the day and maybe a milky coffee at night. You reckon the water has helped you to lose? I'll have to try and drink more!!!! Water.

Well done you x

I am finding it hard to drink so have started on the Tetleys Redbush black tea as it counts towards your water allowance - it is a god send

Made a biscuit for tea out of my shake mix yesterday and that was nice and am now back on the mix a mousse which is like angel delight - yummy

**emler** · 30-03-2009, 09:06 AM

fantastic Lucy - you must be chuffed to bits

**deeb66** · 30-03-2009, 10:21 AM

Well done Lucy

You are doing really well

**Chatterbox Childcare** · 03-04-2009, 09:41 AM

How did you go this week?

**patevans** · 05-04-2009, 04:44 PM

I really need to do this cambridge diet, going to give it some serious thought over the next few days, only thing thats holding me back at the mo is the price!!

**Celtic Star** · 06-04-2009, 07:40 PM

Lucy you are an inspiration!

I have 5 1/2 stone to lose and reading through your diary has really inspired me to make sure this really works, have spent most of my life overweight and am now fed up of it.

Keep up the good work

Hi Lucy x

Are you ok ? xx

**SimplyLucy** · 13-04-2009, 06:21 PM

Sorry all

I've been in hiding for being a useless lump!

I've gained 5lb after being off the diet for a few weeks.

However TODAY is re-start day and has gone fantastically well.

I have 7 and a half weeks until my holiday now. I would really like to lose another 28lb then. With a stone a month it's achieveable but I must stick to the diet 100%.

I promise to keep you informed of my progress and not hide away and sulk when it goes wrong!

Sounds like a good diet. My friend is doing something similar.

Can I ask what weight you all were when you started the diet? Im almost 15st and thinking I really need to do something but just eating more healthy isnt helping but my friend has said the Doctors might not let me

**deeb66** · 13-04-2009, 08:10 PM

Well done for getting back on it Lucy.

It is not easy staying on track all the time but at least you have got the bull by the horns so to speak.

Good luck honey

You might not have to get your doctors signature on the form. The general rule of thumb is if you do not have any medical conditions or taking any prescribed meds and have a BMI under 40 then you won't need your doctor to sign the Medical Record Form.

You say that you are 15 st but don't say what height you are. Providing you stand at 5 ' 1" or taller (that - BMI 39.5) at 15 st then you won't need your doctors signature for that reason.

However, if you do have any medical condition or take prescribed meds then you will need doctor signature before you start.

You are not asking your doctors permission to do the diet but are confirming your condition/meds and asking him/her to monitor you whilst on the plan.

However we are not willing to go against your doctors advice so your Counsellor would be able to speak to your doctor (if you want her to) and tell him/her about the plan etc or can put your doctor in touch with the Medical team at Head Office - usually in these cases 99% of doctors sign after speaking to Medical Advisor/team at HO.
