Hi Everyone!
Week 16 SS - over 3 stone lost. Been feeling a wee bit rubbish for a couple of weeks, lethargic and weak and horrors.... hair falling out!
Decided to 810 for two weeks which went well, feeling good and getting my groove back. Upped to 1000 (ish) last week and back on to 'normal' food this week. Although by 'normal' I must clarify that I'm calorie counting and not going over 1100 calories (which makes it quite hard to get my 100% RDA's) and exercising like a demon
I wanted to post to let you know I've not gained any weight. I've not progressed through the steps as I should (I'm not recommending this but was quite unwell and needed some 'real' food) but, all the same, I've maintained for two weeks while still replenishing up my glycogen store. I lost 8 pounds in my first week of Cambridge so can hopefully surmise that, while not regaining my 'liver' weight, I've lost at least another 9 pounds since stopping the diet.
My shape has changed dramatically with the exercise and I'm feeling strong - which is something I've missed over the lardy years. Not saying anything much about owt, except - don't be scared of stopping Cambridge, it's a fabulous tool which has helped me to drop the weight and get to a size I feel confident to exercise without hurting myself but there is life beyond it....
Thanks for all the support and thoughts and insights - 'listening' to everyone's journey has really helped me think about food and life and everything in between!
Strong is the new skinny
