Hi all hope everyone is doing well
So i am a mum of one handsome little man james he is 2 and a half... anyway i have got to the point where enough is enough and i need to shift this weight and be fit and healthy for my little man...
So on the 30th august i started my new way of living... just started eating salads and drinking plenty of water i lost 10lbs in 2 weeks and then i joined cambridge diet i am on week 3 of cambridge and being weighed on tuesday... really enjoying it so far... not gonna lie though it is hard and i have had to battle through some evenings but i make it and feel good when i do that so altogether in 5 weeks i have lost 1 stone 5lbs!! lots.more to go yet though... my big motivator is james my son he is the reason i am doing this he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 5 weeks old and i have decided to take action now as my weight was spiralling out of control and i am at my heaviest and feel miserable... i need to be around to keep my baby well so here i am focused and loving seeing the pounds fall away

is anyone else using cambridge and how are you finding it? could do with someome to tell me no when i get those craving days instead of fighting with myself!!

Lol awww yeah running after a child is a lot of work. Just try and drink as much water as u can. I hate the choc shakes now - got some bars which r yummy. I add Tabasco sauce in my soup which helps tonnes ah ur on SS + maybe I should move on it lol.. Aw if weight loss is slow one week it will hopefully show nx week - keep us posted x

Thanks for the encouragement zoe Im also a mum to a 10 month old baby girl and she keeps me busy all day. I have about 5 stone to lose altogether and hopefully will be at my target weight by March next year. I have a goal of 2 stone by 17th November as i am Bridesmaid for my cousin and i dont want to look huge on the photos! Thats a really good idea about the photos and i think i might do that too! Keep going it will be worth it in the end, thats what i have to keep telling myself when i want to eat something xx

 

[xzoelouisex]

they certainly do keep us busy mummys!! during the day im fine as james keeps me occupied its when he goes to bed that i start thinking about food so i have the chocolate orange shake but make it hot and it stops me craving and then i just go bed ha!! my weight has spiralled out of control iv always been bigger than everyone else but i was comfortable but i put on alot in my pregnancy and when james was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis i comfort ate but now im ready to lose the weight and get comfortable again i would probably feel happy again to lose 5 stone but my goal is to lose 10 stone which will take me to a weight i dont think i rememeber seeing!! lol xx

 

[xzoelouisex]

sarajane- i will definitly have to try some of those i have salad and either chicken and mushrooms or salmon or prawns... and a big glass of water xx

 

[Amy12]

I know the feeling, if i do lose 5 stone i will be back to a weight i was 10 years ago, if feels like it is a million miles away but i just keep thinking of how i will feel! good luck with your weigh in and let us know how it goes xxxx

 

[xzoelouisex]

i will do, im having such a heavy period though im not holding out much hope for much of a loss... do u know if this diet can effect your monthlys? iv never been this heavy i feel so bloated and horrible its rediculous! lol have just bought a pair of jeans a couple sizes smaller iv defo lost weight in my legs cuz they fit fine... just cant do them up will try again next month... thought this may give me some insentive xx

 

[Amy12]

Yeah it does effect your time of the month, ive just had that last week! its such a good feeling when you get new clothes that are a smaller size and they fit! xx

 

[xzoelouisex]

yey 3.5lbs off and potentially more if i wasnt feeling so bloated! 6lbs to go till iv lost 2 stone not seeing her for 2 weeks now so should have lost it by then!! just bought some of the chocolate bars will try them and see if i like them.. whens your next weigh in? x

 

[Amy12]

well done zoe thats a really brilliant weight loss!!!!! my next weigh in is on the 19th so another 10 days for me, im hoping to have lost about 8lb which would take me to just under 2stone in a month! I normally do ss but yesterday i done ss+ and had some chicken and mushrooms it was weird having proper food again! im back on ss now tho. keep up the good workxx

well done you for being able to do ss i could no way stick to that i need one meal to keep me sane ha! i had chicken and mushrooms yesterday... might have tuna tonight.. and one of the bars later tonight feeling hungry today cant wait for dinner.. do u feel like youve lost then? xx

 

[Amy12]

Yeah i do feel like i have lost but i have told my husband to hide the scales because i weigh myself every morning which is becoming a bit obsessive! People are starting to tell me thay can see that i have lost weight which is a nice feeling and fills me with more determination to stick to the diet! I am bridesmaid in 5 weeks so that is my first goal and also the first time i am going to have a day off the diet! xx
