First day on Cambridge after doing lipotrim and returning from holidays!

[LucyLou]

No honestly Vegas was cool. We booked 5 nights but 4 was plenty.
We went to see a show and saw absolutely everything. The Mandalay Bay is the 1st hotel on the strip and the stratosphere is the last one so the whole strip is about 6 and a half miles long. You go in and out of the hotels all day and see all the different sights! Its so cool but bananas!! Bananas in a good way tho!! Its really busy so you wont get a minute to relax...its go go go....where are you staying??

 

[ninababes]

We're not going but i really want to lol we were gonna go for honeymoon that and new york but couldnt afford it as id need hell of a lot for spending money lol thats y we opted for the maldives instead, h2b has been a few times with his mates before we were together though think they stayed at the hotel wih the rides on top whatever that ones called

 

[LucyLou]

ah rite..that one is the stratosphere. we didnt spend that much. we had 5 nights in vegas and 3 nights in san fransisco and spent about 2200dollars so it wasnt too bad.

Maldives is sooooo lovely tho...im always drooling at the pages in the brochures!

 

[ninababes]

Well the other reason was if we were going to las vegas i probably wouldnt be as driven to lose weight lmao i cant not be slim in the maldives or id look like a beached whale on my honeymoon piccies lol!!! That's really good, did u go to the casinos at night too? I had a plan before i met h2b that on my 25th birthday i was gonna go to new york for 4 days on a huge shopping spree and figured it'd cost me a few grand so when we were talking bout places for honeymoon it made sense to go there til i realised or thoguht how much it would cost

 

[LucyLou]

to be honest we only did the slots at night time. I wouldnt have a clue how to play poker or anything like that but it was fun!! It was so scary to see so many super super obese people in vegas tho...people as young as me (25) in these zimmeframe things cos they couldnt walk. It was sad to see!

Maldives is definately the way to go. I used to be a travel agent and booked weddings and honeymoons abroad and I purposely never travelled to Maldives cos I wanted to go there myself for my own honeymoon when we decide to get married! Where are you staying?

 

[ninababes]

OH wow that's dreadful bet you felt a proper skinny minny hehe way to boost your ego!!! We regularly go to the casinos here i LOVE blackjack lol and i must say i like texas hold em poker when 2b went a few yrs ago he spent over 6000 just in the casinos but he was loaded then....spent it all before it met me...typical!!!!!

We're going to meeru island staying in a jacuzzi land villa.....did look at water villas but couldnt justify over 2000 more for a bit of extra water lol so we decided to fly first class instead teehee, where do u think you'll go for yours when u get married?

 

[LucyLou]

god im not really sure. have to wait for the ring yet!!
I like Meeru and the new White Sands one? The only thing is my BF gets very bored in the sun so i dont know if we would go for more than 5 nights...probably on to somewhere else then.

Look at me!! LMAO wishfull thinking!!!

 

[ninababes]

lol how long u bin together Laney??? It's leap yr next yr u could always ask him lol!!! Am hoping to be scuba diving and watching fish while we're there and spend lots of time in the room of course lolol

 

[LucyLou]

9 years this december! its gas but its not even on the cards!
everyone kept asking me when I got back from holidays if I had an announcement to make....so embarrasing to have to say no!
Im still a bit young anyway I think.

I did feel smaller than most in vegas but it was a different ball game altogether in san fransisco. I just felt rotten. I cant look at any of the pics with me in them cos theyre just gross!

 

[ninababes]

Aww hunny im sure theyre not that bad!!! And if u really do hate them then its fantastic motivation for you on your diet hun!!!

When do u go back to work?

 

[LucyLou]

first day back was today! it was gr8 !!
Definaely goin to look for a new job after christmas!

 

[ninababes]

lol what is it you do again? I've got a terribly lapse memory at the moment!!!

 

[LucyLou]

Im a bit of a jack of all trades! Im doing accounts admin at the moment. such a quiet office so I end up with too much time on my hands!

 

[ninababes]

Well leaves u more time to minimins hehe

Well im very upset with my body this evening ive got a nasty headache a sore chest a sore throat and a bunged up nose, earache and im freezing cold so no gym AGAIN i think someones got a conspiracy against me grrrr but still been good with the diet, just got tea in the fridge marinating so im looking forward to that later anyone got any nice plans this evening? I'm gonna be snuggling up warm next to h2b and the bunnies

What kind of wok do u want to be doing Laney?

 

[Lucysw81]

Morning girls!

Oh dear, this thread is so quiet nowadays. We must all be busy bees! I am working from home today as the electricity is getting turned off at work for electrical work to be done. So because I'm at home there is much more opportunity to come on here! It has been so busy at work lately and it isn't any quieter now but I badly need some Minimin time!

How is everyone doing? Laney your holiday sounded fantastic. I am away to Florida a week today and I can't wait. H2bs Dad came round the other night with a pile of books about Orlando so I am reading through them to find out all the things we can do. I don't want to miss a thing! We have already purchased our Universal Studio tickets because apparently its the best park. H2b has been before but it was more than 7 years ago. It is all new to me. Also I am being my friends bridesmaid while we are over there and I have a lovely dress to wear. But I feel huge next to my friend because she is about 5'3'' and a size 8. I am 5'7'', tower over her and look fat!

I am going to enjoy Florida and then when I get back I need to take some serious action, I was looking at my wedding dress today and it is my main wish to fit in it. I would be devastated if I couldn't.

I hope you are feeling better Ninababes. Get some hot water and squeeze in some fresh lemon and a spoon of honey. Very soothing when you have a cold and its natural ingredients. That with parecetamol will do the same as a lemsip.

Anyway, talk soon. xxx

 

[LucyLou]

Hi Lucy!
Its soo quiet on here these days. Im posting all the time on the other thread to keep me going. Your holiday sounds fab! I still have to beat my holiday blues!

Hows the diet going? Or what type of diet are you doing now?

 

[Lucysw81]

Hi, its mad how quiet it is. Remember when we first came on here there was loads of us? We must of scared them all off! I really liked pineapple its a shame she doesn't come on even though she isn't following the same diet. Strange Donna hasn't been on either but I think its to do with her internet having problems so I think she'll come back or we'll be sad

I am just trying to keep my carb intake low and eat healthily and exercise more. i must admit its very slow progress and since I stopped Cambridge I have only lost 2lbs! But I know I am not trying very hard because I am using Florida as an excuse. I want to have fun there and not worry about diets then totally get my butt in gear when I get home! Probably the wrong attitude.

How are you doing since you got back your hol? I found it really hard. Also at work I think I took about 2 weeks after my hol until I got my motivation levels back up!! Now they are winding down again for this holiday. he he!

xxx

 

[ninababes]

Evening girls, you think its quiet but its not as bad as when i was on here all alone before laney came home from hols lol!!!!!

Lucy not long til your hols now, bet you're so excited and you'll fit into your wedding dress dont worry, you've got the right attitude How are you finding the low carb low fat route?

Laney hows it going for you today? Tomorrow's day 3 for u again isnt it or have i lost a day???

Well another good day for me...just had m tea which was yummy ooo and i'm now officially a mental health nurse.....my PIN number came through YAY means i'll actually be getting busier at work hehe so exciting!!!!

 

[Lucysw81]

Woo hoo!!!! arty0049:arty0049:arty0049: That's great Ninababes. That's a great acheivement and a fantastic job you are doing. Let us know how you get on.

How are you doing being back on the diet Laney?

I am eating reasonably well but I am back on a wind down before my holiday!! As long as I maintain at the moment then I am happy. I am fully expecting to put a little on in Florida but hope not to. We will be doing loads of walking so I hope that helps. I just have to use my new knowledge of eating habits that suit me and work hard at burning off those extra cals!.

I was at the Doctors before I started the Cambridge because I was getting really awful stomach pains for ages. Turns out I have a spastic or dysfunctional colon (you can google it if you want to learn more!). Anyway since doing the Cambridge diet my pains have gone away which means it must of been food I was eating before that my body didn't cope well with. So this diet has improved my health and taught me a few things about myself as well as helping me lose weight. So there are many benefits we can learn from.

Best get back to work. Have to complete a magazine before 5 but will pop back on and off through the afternoon! xxx
