Hi! I'm Simone, I'm 17, 5ft8, 15st8 & a Size 16 and my weight-loss journey starts tomorrow! I'm really excited to get started on the Cambridge diet, and my family are doing it too!
I was always a little bit on the chubby side since moving to England from Saudi Arabia when I was 10, and a combination of bullying, PTSD and social anxiety lead me to finding a new best friend, in the form of food. I tried to loose weight many times but never found anything that worked for me, and I've decided that this time will be the last time I try to loose weight and I'm determined I will be successful! as I don't want to struggle with my weight in later life like my Dad.
Both my Mum and Dad are doing it too so I have their support in this which is a great help, and My boyfriend in supportive too (My friends however are not, but you win some, you loose some!)
My 18th Birthday is April 8th and I'm hoping to be 2 stone lighter, and hoping that by my boyfriends Birthday which is the 31st of July, I'll be close to my goal weight.
I've not set a proper goal weight as I'm unsure where to aim for having never had a weight that I 'liked' being at. I went for 10st 5 as that's the middle healthy weight for my height (5ft8) but my CDC has said to aim for healthy, which puts me at 11st 7, so I'm thinking somewhere in that band will be right for me, I'd just like to be able to shop in your regular high-street shops and feel comfortable!
I've really enjoyed reading this forum over the past week and I'm so excited and so ready to get started!
