Thread: Irishmans daily diary!

Well my reasons for wanting to lose are many
see my siggy
I do have bad arthritis in my knees (one worse than the other) so am desperate to lose the weight to put off surgery
I have done slimming world successfully in the past but giving up smoking and going onto antidepressants meant the weight went on
ww and sw help me to sts or lose about half a pound every couple of weeks

so I wanted to try something that could help me sooner
with cambridge I have three packs a day and can have a 200cal meal (salad veg and chicken fish quorn etc) but I want to do just the three packs if I can
there are 6 stages to cambridge as you work up to a calorie level that will help you maintain

my weigh in is for tuesday (that will be just over a week) but have just email my consultant and asked for an earlier one or at least a pop over to get some more meal packs so might have earlier appointment
I do have to admit to being a scale hopper - not good but I cant resist
hopefully we can both stick this out for the time we need to get to our target

Congrats on the weightloss Finn, thats great for week one. Keep it up now and you'll be approaching goal in no time.
Also great that you have joined the gym, at times it can be hard to get out there and go but afterwards I bet your feeling great. I was away in Cork last week and only made it to the gym three times and felt awful the days i didn't go. I'm heading back this evening though, that stepper will be out for revenge on me!!

Keep up good work

Thanks both! Where in ireland you from mrsmotivation?
Thanks for the links aaleigha.. That thing is great and very detailed!

I'm in Kilkenny! Up the cats!

Just back from the gym, managed to do an hour and get the sweat pumping, literally!!

Went to WW meeting this morning to weight in..... i was 3lbs lighter than I expected so that was a huge bonus and I've been walking on air all day, planning meals for tomorrow and rest of week now to stay on track.

How's the shakes going? Are you using them all or just selected ones you like? I remember gagging over a bowl of the soup.

hope things are ok with you - I am now on day 6 five down many to go

hi finn how's the shakes going? are you still on them?
