Hi Bettyboo (& everyone else
)
I'm on day two of cambridge & while I don't feel any different weight wise yet i'm feeling really empowered by the fact i'm doing something to lose weight & the fact this diet works quite quickly is helping me. We sound similar, i've tried slimming world & it worked (for my wedding, lost 2 stone) but got stuck in a rut & now can't stick to it to save my life! My hubby is also skinny & doesn't have to think about what he eats which is great for him but not me!!
I want to lose about 3 stone, put the 2 + 1 that i lost for my wedding back on (in 3yrs) and i'm now so depressed about my weight i'm giving this a try. When I met my husband 10 yrs ago I was a size 8 which gradually crept up to a 14 & i'm now 16-18. My goal is size 10-12.
I agree with what everyone else has said though in that you have to be in the right frame of mind & i totally am. I've never been a huge eater, just eat the wrong things & I think my weight first went to pot when I discovered alcohol!! The thought of not drinking worries me in that I don't know if I can do it, but then really 'thinking' about it, it doesn't bother me.
My plan is to try this for a month & see how I find it, then hopefully stay on the diet until I lose 3 stone, then follow the plan to re-introduce food & then probably go back on slimming world to maintain and be good 6 days & have a treat day (not going crazy but maybe a few drinks and little naughty meal).
I found yesterday extremely hard but it wasn't cos I was hungry, although I was, but more because I knew I couldn't eat. Today has been fine as i've been at work and not had time to think.
I think its going to be a hard diet to follow but there are so many people that have had fab results from it that that makes mind up!!
I can't wait to be thin again & healthy
Good luck to all & let me know how you get on
