:wave_cry: Right here's my story I'm Kim - Hi all! I am very soon to be 30 (Sssh don't say it too loud and it won't happen)! I went on Cambridge back in 2008 and loved it! I lost a total of 4 stone and considering I have done every diet in the book that was a huge acheivement never lost anymore than a stone on anything else.
So I pretty much got to goal and felt amazing got soooo many compliments. I never did do maintenance which I do kind of regret but if my weight started creeping up I used to go back on Cambridge - not the best way I know but it did work for me, I was never going to go back to my pre-cambridge weight.
Then me and my OH James decided to try for a baby, it took 3 weeks and I was pregnant we were very very lucky! And we felt it was a sign that it was meant to be. For the first 5 months of my pregnancy I felt horrendous, had horrible morning sickness, craved anything bad to help me, and so I ate anything and everything. I never weighed myself once during pregnancy in my head I was pregnant and it's the one and only time in my life it was fine to eat what I wanted. I then had problems with my pelvis which meant I wasn't very mobile for the last 4 months and gave me a excuse to sit and eat some more!
I felt like I'd lost 4 stone before I can do it again once I have had my baby and all will be fine. I'll be so busy with baby I won't even have time to eat!
I had Charlotte on 18th Feburary via emergency C-Section in the end, and me and James were over the moon. It doesn't matter if I'm fat I thought I've just had a baby! And so 6 weeks of sitting on my bum while re-cupererating from my C-Section I ate some more (I'm BF right got to keep my strength up lol)
So after many a lunch out during my maternity leave and endless Starbucks Charlotte gets to 5 months old and I think I've got to do something about this and Cambridge is def the way to go, by the time I go back to work in 6 months I'll be lovely and slim and they'll all say how fab I look.
So I find myself a new CDC as my old one had moved away, and tell her I am desperate to start there and then, and I do. I didn't want to know how much I weighed that would just depress me and I already knew I was fat!
My CDC is fab, but after far too many meals out with other mums and of course Starbucks before I know it it's xmas, and I have been on Cambridge for a week here and there but never stuck to it! I am a huge cheater, I think I can cheat the system by eating meat and cheese and the weight will still drop off. Wrong!
Came back to work in January huge with no work clothes and felt so self conscious. So the day I came back to work I decided to start again, thinking this time, the routine etc. of work will really help me. And it did for a couple of weeks and before I knew it the vending machine was calling me and I answered and there goes the vicious circle.......
I am back on and have been back on since Thursday with shakes I already have. So seeing the CDC on Thursday. Still don't know how much I weigh not sure if I will find out or not, as it just depresses me and it seems like such a mountain to climb.
I have made a vow to do it properly from the start - 3litres of water a day (I'm normally rubbish with water) 3 shakes a day and that's it!
I am guessing I have about 7 stone to lose this time, which seems massive, but the longer I dither around the longer I will be fat. And I don't want to be fat for Charlotte.
My Best Friend started last week too and I have to beat her lol so there's hopefully a nice bit of healthy competition......
Sorry didn't mean to waffle so much then, just throught a diarywill help me vent and keep me on track! Fingers Crossed anyway!
