Martha's Diary - seeing it through to the end....

Thanks so much guys :) checked this morning and ive another 1lb off so that's good. Need to stop weighing so much tho because I know it only leads to disappointment.

How you all doing?

Xxx
 
How are you going Martha? I'm a bit gutted with my 8lb first week loss. Last time me first one was 15lb. Was 100% too, but a loss is still a loss.

Got slightly frustrated with the scales this week because they dropped and then went up again and didn't really come bk down until I weighed just then.

Let's hope il b out of the 21s by next Monday which just so happens to be my birthday :) that would be a great present to myself from myself lol NO PICKING THIS WEEK MARTHA!!!

Yea I am due on but not until next thurs duno if that makes a diff

I had a little blip last night which im quite annoyed at myself for but spoke to my consultant and we are forgetting and moving on. Could have been much worse so im just going to be 100% from now until next sat when my friends and I are hoping to get out for my belated bday celebrations. After that il be back on plan with no breaks. It's 40 days until I go away so I need to remain focused!!

How are you doing hun? X

Im doing really well at the moment thanks Hun. 8 days at 100% which is a huge achievement for me as I tried to restart so many times last year and failed. I did Cambridge in 2012 - got down to 14.2 and fell pregnant!! Something I was told would never happen without medical intervention and here I am now with a beautiful 19 month old baby boy! I ve got a lot to thank Cambridge for!!! First week done and 10lbs down!!! I'm off to New York with best friends in 27 days time and I've set myself a little goal of another 14lbs off by then. But my overall goal is 6 stone away and the end result is to be a healthier and fitter mum for my beautiful bubba!

Everyone has has a blip now and then, sometimes it's just needed! But drawing a line underneath it and moving on is the best way forward rather than worrying about it. How long have you been doing Cambridge for Hun?

Wow 7 stone that's amazing Hun. I am from Southampton.

Marriage breakdowns have a lot to answer for. I was married young and it was a violent marriage and my weight spiralled out of control. And yes it was awful at the time but it taught me a lot about myself. 3 years after my divorce I met my current husband and couldn't be happier. Yes we have our moments but we work and now have a lovely little family. During the 3 years between I found myself again, lost a lot of weight and regained my confidence. Sounds like you have had so much to deal with Hun but it's time to focus on you and what you want now. I'm behind you with the determination!!! We can do this....

p.s very jealous of your month in America!! I love America - fell pregnant in Vegas!! Haha!!

Ah Ria (crazy diamond) is from southampton too I met her back in November lol we have become very good friends. That's who im going away with in March lol we are doing a 4 day cruise :)

Like you I married young at 21 and we have a beautiful 6 year old daughter, my marriage wasn't violent or anything we just did everything too soon and fell out of love. Sad but it really does happen. Glad you met someone new tho and are happy now

I think I need to focus on me for now just getting the weight off and not worrying about dating until I am in control of my eating and feeling good enough to go out and socialise. Im quite happy in my own little bubble for now lol

Haha I only managed it as ive family there we went to Vegas too but it's not so much fun with an at the time 4 year old lol I would love to go back but lots to get on track i will get there eventually lol

Thank you hun! We can push each other along and get to goal and be proud. Im hoping that me regaining a lot of the weight has taught me a lesson and knowing not to get too comfortable lol I have all my friends pre warned if I start loving myself and going out and not sticking to plan that they are to remind me to reign it in and behave as I got to comfortable and confident last time and ditched and ended up stones heavier at the blink of an eye!

Not again tho im fed up now lol I just need to get there and then start the the battle of maintaining lol xxxxx

Sounds like you have a very focused and achievable plan in your head which is great! I'm really hoping to work up the steps this time as I never managed it before due to my pregnancy. Really want to be fit and healthy for my little boy as well as myself. This forum is so positive and really spurred me on last time and I'm so glad I came back!!! When is your next weigh in Hun? Xx
