I have qualified as a midwife at the end of march but had to go back to agency nursing to pay the mortgage. In fact earn more money than nursing for NHS. Starting new job next week. should hopefully have nice comments there as I trained at that hospital.

Hi!

Just read your diary and WAOW! You have been such a complete superhero! Congratulations!
I know the transition coming of SS Cambridge can be quite scarry but I have no doubt in my mind that you will make that, you have come this far, you know what your goals are and being on SS for this long really makes you disciplined and I think, face a lot of the reasons why your relationship with food has gotten a bit of. My best tip, when I went from SS the first time and it worked really well is a classic, be carful with the carbs so you transition out from ketosis carefully, bring food into your life again slowly and with awareness (Yes, I'm sure you know all this. ) But for me it worked very well, also, I started to loooove green veggies, like broccoli, I was stunned.. I'm sure you will to fine when that day comes! Best of luck to you and congratulations on you midwife qualification.

Just read your diary you're doing brill keep going and just keep thinking how good the losses feel when you have your break from plan.
I qualified as a nurse at 21 just 12 years ago and have piled on the weight since then but want to feel good about myself and start a family so am embarking on week 2 of ss+.
Keep going and lovely to read your journey xx

Thanks all, qualified as a nurse in 1996 I had lost weight as a student and before applying as in those days they wouldn't take me without losing weight! It would never happen now. But gained weight being busy, erratic breaks and junk food on the run doesn't help. I will carefully plan my break, then another in July for graduation/birthday and a ? final break in August see where I am and decide if I swap to SW. Should have lost around 7 stone depending on how the breaks go

Day 54 planning my trip to London got my extra days supply as weighing Sat not Fri. Weighed this morning (I know I shouldn't) but reached 4 stone and down to another stone bracket. I am painting the lounge (silly time to do it before going). My painting clothes are hanging off me! New car coming Saturday afternoon looking forward to getting it. Ordered my graduation gown and motarboard! Starting new job 23/5/11!

Omg what an amazing feeling!!!! Well done you for losing 4 stone and going down a stone bracket - but naughty girl for weighing in
Take care love xxxx

Thanx. I know but I couldn't resist I know the pitfalls of early weighing. I have done a SS+ day today starving I think the painting took it out of me (feeling dizzy coming off step ladder) so had a mushroom omelette Watching the apprentice and gonna pack. Just bought my mum's packed lunch (some stuff I don't like so not tempted).

Hello you hope ya had lovely day mrs keep up the amazing work and mushroom omelette (drool) xxxxx

 

[flab fighter]

The show was fab :clap: did well in hotel tetras and bars. Took loads of water with me. Absolutely shattered coming home and starving after the long drive. Had to have another mushroom omlette. Weighing tom am see if 2 days of SS+ makes a difference

Hey! just read your diary and wanted to say how well you're doing. i'm toying with the idea of giving CD another try and your diary is making me want to give it a go.

Hope you have a good weekend

 

[flab fighter]

I am glad that I am making you think of restarting. CD as you know is certainly not easy or a good weight plan when socialising. It does however break the relationship with food and I am now thinking if my body can survive on 450 cals a day then it didn't need 2500 per day Good luck if you restart.

 

[PurpleRoses]

its not easy but the losses some people have is amazing and so inspiring especially when there's so much weight to lose.
I have 2 weeks of packs, might give it one last go!

 

[flab fighter]

Go for it the first 2 weeks are the hardest then it gets easier

Took my mum to see the classical brit awards as she is in love with Il Divo! Well day 64 (week 9 + 1 day) lost 5lbs making my total loss 4st 2lbs so chuffed. My 2 days of SS+ not made a difference in losses which I am glad about. I am going to keep my weigh day at Saturday morning for a while as starting Mon-Fri induction to job for a while. New car is fantastic. Just need to start new job now. My CDC is so pleased and so supportive.

Awwwwwww il divo I lurrrrrve them tooooooo glad it was lovely!!! Hey pretty lady you smashed through that 4 stone Mark omg well done you xxxx

 

[flab fighter]

My ambitious aim is 11 stone 7lbs. I am going to go until August, I have events in June, July and August that I am going to have planned pauses for hoping they don't pile on the pounds too much. Also that I can jump back on CD easily I have discussed this with my CDC and she is going to encourage me to get back on at my request. My biggest fear of this is enjoying food freedom to much and not wanting to go back and spiralling out of control. By August (3 months) I hope another 3 stone will come off taking me to around 16 stone. Then I have to decide continue a bit longer or switch to SW. I will wait to see how I feel my head is telling me stick with CD a bit longer. My heart is saying go back on food. It all depends how comfortable I feel in my new skin I suppose. Jayne x
