Hi everyone, I'm an LL'er who's constantly reading the cambridge posts so thought I'd write a bit too.
I'm Cath, I'm 38 and live near Wigan, I've 3 children (youngest is 14) and I've been married for nearly 20 years. Up until I got married I weighed between 8 and 9 stone but then over the years (and with each child) I just put on more and more and more.
As for riding, I'm hoping to do my CBT and learn to ride a motorbike after Christmas when I'm hopefully at goal - I'll feel much more confident on a bike when I'm slimmer.

Hi All
I am Gail and I am a chocaholic lol
I am 44 divorced with two teenage sons 18+19 and I love them to bits.
Up until 4 years ago I was fit slim and full of energy. I was in training for the Bristol half marathon where I live.
I was in a relationship that went wrong and for comfort I ate chocolate lol and now find myself extremely overweight.
I heard about CD from a friend who lost 4 stone and was eager to give it a go myself.
So far so good and I am looking forward to the results.
This forum is fantastic and I read more than I post and it have given me great encouragement to hear everyones success stories.
May we all have our dreams fulfilled on our journey to weight loss.

I'm Julia, from Thrapston, near Peterborough. I'm 27 and a primary school teacher. I started the diet last October and lost 6 stone, things started to slow down in May as i wasn't really sticking to it and other things took over. After a few traumatic events over the holidays, mostly involving boys breaking my heart (!), i'm back, a stone and a half heavier than my lowest, but determined to get rid of the last 4 stone at least 3 of it by xmas!

Hiya,
I am Kerry and am 31. I live in Lichfield in Staffordshire and I started the CD last week. I did look in to it over the summer but at the time I thought that I was going to be having a major operation so I put it off. Anyway, I live with my hubby and our mad dog, Lola! I was on the 1200 kcal last week and lost 3lb and I started SS-ing from yesterday so wish me luck! Basically I am doing it because I can't carry on like this....I hate the person that I have become and hate the person that looks back at me in the mirror But that's enough dwelling, hopefully those days will soon be a thing of the past. I am feeling really positive about this diet and it is the first time in ages that I believe that it will work My friend "everchangingme" is on this journey with me so that is great that we have each other for support as well as you great people on here!!! xxx

Goodbye Tum
Just found this while 'rummaging'
Love knowing a bit more about you all.
I'm Sarah, I'm 32 and been married for 4 years and have a beautiful 2 year old son Jacob.
Always been a porker, I've never bought clothes in a 'normal' shop since I was about 5 I think. I've done all the diets ww, slimfast, cabbage soup, three day wonder diet (not) Wish I'd found CD years and years ago although if I had I'm sure I'd be married to either Brad Pitt, Simon Cowel or the gorgeous Gordon Ramsey (mmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
I've stuck to this so far (four weeks on Tuesday) and intend to do so as I want another bundle of joy and have a wierd pelvis aparantly so have to have another section and don't want to feel terrible when the poor nurses have to lift me hee hee. Can't wait to go to River Island or somewhere to buy clothes, Heck I may even go to Top Shop and come out looking like mutton xx

Hi, I'm Gail, 41, divorced 6 years, with 4 children (18,17,13,9).
Started CD back in July but had to come off it for the last few weeks due to finacial problems. Just started a new full time job (I'm a nurse) and am restarting CD today! Can't wait. Have been mostly low carbing and think I've lost around a stone on my own but it's been very slow going. But relieved I didn't pile the weight back on. Have never successfully lost weight before but this time I really believe that I will get to target and keep the weight off. Been big all my life....a size 16 at 12!....and have had enough!
Can't wait for people to start noticing....have lost over 3 stone but no one has noticed yet....except for the few who know I'm dieting.
Hoping in the future to become a CDC, find a life partner and go on a beach holiday with my kids next year. Thinking about slipping into a plane seat without spilling under the armrests and being able to put the table down flat really motivates me!
