Hi all...
I'm a newbie to the forums, and just started the USA version of Cambridge yesterday. I used it back in the 1980's, when I really shouldn't have been dieting at all. My mother claimed I was fat when I weighed all of 118 lbs at 5' 2" tall.
I'm still 5' 2" and probably have 130 lbs to lose. I've tried just about every diet on the planet and none seem to work for very long. I've tried for the past year to take off weight by exercising and counting calories and I've had no success. I managed to lose about 20 lbs initially, but I've only kept off about 7lbs.
Sad, huh?
Anyway, I hope US folks are welcome here. In reading the forum, it seems like many of the members are from the UK.
I'm wondering, how does everyone manage to stick to the diet for very long? So far I've tried the oatmeal, chocolate and strawberry shakes and haven't much liked any of them. I know if I can stick to it, I will lose the weight, but this stuff really doesn't taste very good. It's not terrible, just not good, and I don't know if I'll be able to stick with it long-term.
