**amberstone** · 25th January, 2010

Well firstly I will start by introducing myself...

Im 27, a newlywed (married Aug 09) and from Ireland. By profession Im a Human Resource Manager, I like reading, basketball ( but i have not been in shape to play in years), pool, going to cinema and watching lots of shows on tv such as Dextor, Fringe, 24, Heros, The Shielf, Prision Break, Sons of Anochary and many more... ( this is usually restricted to the weekend when we watch boxsets

i am not in front of the tv 24 hours hehehe). I am also a big music fan and love going to concerts.

However even though ive always been fit (played basketball for both school and club team when i was younger) I always struggled with me weight.

In 2005 i was in a new relationship with my now husband since Sept 04 and with both of us over weight (him by 3 stone, me by at least 9/10) we decided to do soemthing about it together. This couldnt have worked better, i lost in total 6 stone and my partner lost 3 stone. The trouble is he has kept his off and I have put mine back on - all of it and as of last week was the exact same weight as when i began lipotrim back in 2005.

Now over the last two years ive gone up and down trying numerous restarts, i even had my wedding coming up but i didnt lose the weight for that ( in fact i put it on ! )

Now however Ive decided I will do it in 2010, I wont let another half a decade slip by and thus begins my journey today on this website and my week 2 on cambridge diet.

Will post more ... ive to go to the garage with my car over lunch break...

Ill probably ramble on this thread, but i welcome any comments or questions and I hope it helps reading my story to anyone else.... and who knows perhaps we can all support each other ... to a healthier life...

Right so im back form the garage with my car.....

Basically i thought my front water for the wipers was frozen due to the bad weather, but oh nooooooo some little rat/mice had crawled up and chewed the pipe in half connecting the pump to the were it splashes out the water... perhaps he was doing a VLCD too, so im not TOOO mad at him, at times id eat a rubber band too lol...

Anyhow... i think its time to post a few items i will update each week:

Well work is almost over - and after a bad weekend eating since WI on Saturday I am back on track.

I have decided I am going to eat on the weekends if I want to, but will have to ensure SS Mon-Fri no exception. I know its going to be harder but for now it keeps me at least 75% sticking to it and not giving the whole thing up and waiting a week or two to start again as the restart wasnt perfect.... and in those few weeks put on a few more plbs!

So today
8.am - 0.5 Water
9 am - Cup of black coffee
1pm - 0.5 Water, Spicey Tomatoe Soup
5pm - 1.25 Water, Cranberry Bar

Work finishes now at 5.30 and ill be at home about 6, the trouble time will be from 6 - 10 when hubby gets home from his kettlebell training. When your by yourself I feel always tempted to peek in the presses and fridge.

My plan to get through 100% today until tomorrow...

7pm - cin and apple porridge and another 0.75 Water.

8pm - Hot cup of water with savoury drink flavouring.

Watch a load of without a trace on hallmark lol... and perhaps log onto the laptop to multitask...

Well my porridge turned into a mint chock shake made with hot water... but i managed to keep to the diet last night, it was difficult but i did it and feeling much better this morning.... So far have had a liter of water and a chocolate tetra....

The plan for the rest of the day...

2 more liters of water
Cranberry Bar
Spicey tomatoe soup...

**amberstone** · 26th January, 2010

Oh and aqua aerobics tonight, im doing it twice a week now, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Will hopefully get some good exercise DVDs and do some of them at home in other days.... sounds like good otpion as sometimes its SOOO hard to drag yourself to the gym after work.. so this will be best of both worlds... for now.

Thanks, although she looks just like her Dad, so maybe not THAT cute after all <Looks around to make sure he isn't looking>

You can tell your husband you are very amusing indeedy, and if he thinks differently, I'll come there and belly bounce him around your living room until he laughs at one of your jokes

Hope you went to Aqua and feel better for it. xxx
