Hey everyone.
Thought I'd start a diary to keep me on track and distract me when the food demons start haunting me!
Little brief... I'm 22, 5ft 3 and my starting weight is 14 stone. I've been calorie counting the last 8-10 weeks and managed to lose 26lbs, but I have surgery the end of May and have been told by the surgeon I need to weigh at least 11 stone by the date.. so that gives me 11 weeks to lose 42lbs.
My weight loss had slowed considerably on calorie counting, so I've jumped over to Cambridge for the time being, and as advised by my CDC will be following sole source for 5 weeks, then step 2 for two weeks, step 3 for two weeks & then finally step 4 for two weeks.. My surgeon has told me I must be eating healthily and a sensible number of calories two weeks prior to surgery to make sure my body is fit for anaesthetic, which is why I'll be upping the steps so soon.
After a really nasty breakup in mid January, I'm really in the right frame of mind to take Cambridge on and come out the other end a lot lighter & thinner! The last thing I want right now is junk food and to binge & stuff my face - especially when some nasty cretins out there have been laughing and gossiping behind my back, saying my ex left me because I've gone FAT.
12 months ago I was a size 8 and weighed 9.7 stone, but spent last year binge eating & coincidentally gained 6 stone over the course of the year... I've managed to shift nearly two stone, and my ultimate goal is to be 10 stone and a size 8-10 again. But for now I'm focusing on the next 11 weeks and getting as close to 11 stone as I possibly can for surgery.
Fingers crossed!
