I've decided to write a diary. I'm 25 from South London. Work at a hospital doing admin. Live at home with my Mum and my 13yr old sister. I start the diet tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting this weight off. I got weighed today and I'm 11st 13lbs. This is the heavist I've ever been. I've set my goal as 9st. I was doing Weight Watchers for 3 weeks and I've lost 8.5lbs. It was coming off slowly and I'd heard of the cambridge diet so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm going to LA, Las Vegas and San Francisco at the end of June so I hope to lose 2 stone :crossed:! Last year I gained a lot of weight because I just started studying and I stopped obsessing about what I was eating. The amount of people who have come up to me and said that I've put on so much weight. One lady asked if I was pregnant (I did want to cry lol). Another lady so I feel slim standing next to you, you've got so broad and you've put on so much weight. :sigh: It doesn't help that I'm 5'2 every pound I gain shows. My mum tells me not to worry about what people say as I'm going to lose weight. A lot has been happening this year. I've just joined a girl group and they're all tall and slim and there's me lol. I want to lose weight so I don't look out of place and so I have more confidence. So tomorrow here goes. Sorry for the long post lol!

Day 1

So I decided to start today instead of Sunday. I've been fine all day but this evening I've felt really hungry. I keep doubting myself but I keep asking myself why I'm doing this. Hopefully the hunger will pass lol. I feel really tired today as well. Hopefully things will get better lol.

 

Day 3

Today I've been really hungry. It's hard at work cos they've always got biscuits and sweets on the desk opposite me. Just been trying to keep myself busy and not think about food lol. I just want to be able to fit into my old clothes again. Plus I want to look good on holiday but I hope when I go to America I don't put all the weight back. My goals are:

To get into the 10 stone bracket
To get into a healthy bmi of 25
To get into the 9 stone bracket
To get into old size 12s
To get into old size 10s
To reach goal of 9st

Day 5

Thanks sweet_girl123. How you doing today? I'm on day 5 today and I was finding it hard today. My mum was cooking salmon and I really wanted to eat some but I never. Thinking about it I'm very proud of myself lol. Just trying to think about the outcome. People at work have told me I look well and have I lost weight. I don't see it yet. Getting weighed on Sunday so fingers crossed I have a good loss. One thing I haven't been doing is drinking a lot of water. I think today I've managed 2 litres. How much water are we supposed to drink?

I get weighed today and I don't feel any different. So I thought I'd quickly weigh myself and I've only lost 1lb on my scale. I'm so disappointed as I've been 100% and it's not TOTM either. :cry: Sorry I haven't posted just feel down as I can't see a difference. sweet_girl123 well done on your weight loss. How you doing? My goal is 8st7 but I've set it to 9st first then I will see from there. Hope did your exam go? I work in IT plus I'm currently studying for a degree in IT. Plus I also sing too lol. I'm 25.

dont feel down. i have loads of slow losses andi am near goal, they all add up so dont be disheartened, if anything it means you will have a bigger loss next week. how did you get on?

 

Hi guys. I STS when I got weighed and this really got me down. So I fell off the wagon. Got weighed and I gained. Not gona update my ticker as I don't want 2 feel worse lol. Back on track tomorrow. 3wks till my holiday so hope 2 get to 10st by then :cross: sweet_girl123 you seem to be doing well. Well Done. My last exam is on Friday then I'm finished until October. My cdc is away for 2wks so when she comes back I hope I have a big loss. Thanks leeds123. I have to be positive.

 

Get back up and keep going it's the onlyyyyy way.!

 

Yeah keep going it does feel crap at first but you have to stick at it, you dont wanna go to your holiday and think...ohh dammit if id only just carried on. Im sure you will because you seem so determined, we are all here for you!! And we all struggle too!! You probably stayed the same because your body needed to catch up!! 10lbs is alot for someone at a low weight already!! xx
