Thread: Starting to feel like a new person. I love it.

Afternoon everyone. Hope you are all well x

I wanted to write this down so I can look back in a couple of months time and see how I've changed.
I feel like I'm starting to become a new person.

I'm 11lbs lighter which always helps, but I feel more confident, i feel pretty, definitely alot happier. I can't remember the last time me & my mum had an argument (touch wood - you watch we'll have one tonight now I've said that!!) hehe.
The start of this wonderful transformation is definitely happening and i couldn't be happier. I'm so determined to lose 3lbs on next Monday's WI (so I reach a loss of a stone!)

It's everything, because my face is starting to get smaller, my cheek bones and face shape is starting to show, i'm noticing my features more and I think - THIS is what it's all about.

I never thought on Day 1 that I'd feel like this. I was very skeptical, didn't think it would work as I've tried so many other ways of dieting. I'll be honest, and i've mentioned it somewhere on my previous posts - I thought I was setting myself up for a big fall.

I couldnt have been more wrong. Because of this diet I feel so much stronger, I feel like I can do anything!

It's TOTM for me and usually I binge on chocolate or junk food and it hasnt even entered my mind.
(although a period is never a bloody happy one!)

I really hope you get the same feelings, and when you do, don't let them go! Don't give up xx

Let me know how you're doing - I'd love to hear!!

Aww no problem hun xx Good luck xx

hey, i feel the exact same as yourself, on week 6 now of the diet and feeling great, havent felt this good in years even though i'm only 22. so far i've lost 2 and a half stone, can see the changes all over, looking forward to the next few months to get to goal. haven't chected once and have no plans too, my goal weight is far more tempting than any food or alchohol, starting to get positive compliments aswell from friends and family which is great motivation, also can relate to not having as many arguements with the parents which is great .
wish you all the best with your weight loss!!!!

Hi Mrs Lampard!

i can 100% agree with everything you have wrote.
I feel fantastic, my clothes are starting to sag and I am wearing clothes that have been in the back of the closet for years! At this rete I will be needing a shopping spree soon for new threads YAY hee hee

I am becoming more confident and noticing facial features changing also. As you said people are making comments and is so wonderful to hear.

Cambridge Diet where have you been all my life lol

Lol, maybe the reason for no arguments is the fact that we are not putting all the usual shoite in our mouths. Don't forget mood and behaviour are linked to foods and all the rubbish that's added to foods. Just hope we dont have WWIII when we both start eating again

Hi Mrs Lampard - I agree too with your comments and well done on your progress BTW . I am in week 6 and have lost 24lbs so far and am not even halfway to my goal yet but feel like a new woman already . I am also rediscovering stuff at the back of the wardrobe, kept 'just-in-case', which fits again now. Plus the stack of stuff for the charity shop (clothes too big for me) is growing nicely.

(BTW don't forget Oxfam still issue those £5 off £35 M&S vouchers when you hand in a bag of clothes including at least 1 M&S item )

I did not post much at the beginning of my CD journey as I did not want to jinx this, but can now see it is really working if you stick to it . I am looking forward to going clothes shopping in a few weeks before going on holiday over Easter. That's my mini-goal at the mo. My main goal is a healthy weight/BMI for my height (no longer obese or overweight) which I probably haven't been since having children (nearly 12 yrs ago ).

Keep at it everyone, CD rocks .

aww well done - its nice to hear such a lovely positive post

Hey,

Well Done To You All!!

I've been starving myself (I couldn't meet with my counsellor but yet needed to start as I was completely motivated) and started officially yesterday and in one week I have lost 13lbs! I'm so delighted but now I'm eager to see the results in my clothes.

I have been so motivated by being on here and reading everyone's posts and I'm just amazed at the things I have read.

CD is the best!!!

Me too! yippee we're getting skinny! Sent two bags of fat clothes to the charity shop today. Fandabbyblinkindozy! First diet that has made me feel i can actually get to be the me i want to be!

What a lovely post Jess, and so motivational for everyone doing this.
Thank you x

Thank you everyone - If you haven't already I promise you will all have the same feeling soon! It's brilliant!!!

This is me in the making


xxxxxxxxxx Good luck everyone and keep up the fab work! xxxx
