Hi everyone
I'm Laura and 2 weeks ago I began the cambridge diet journey! For the past few years I have gradually put on weight and after the birth of my daughter that has accelerated and now is the time to take control!
I begin the journey at exactly 18 stone and stand 5ft6" with a BMI of 40.5 - wow!
Week 1 summary: due to my BMI I am starting on SS+ along with a pint of milk. As determined as I am the first 3 days were difficult to say the least! Headaches, feeling sick and a sudden loss of energy; thankfully they receded, although the temptation of food is always in the back of my mind - I stayed committed! Week 1 weigh in comes and I have lost a whopping 12lbs
Week 2 summary: my BMI is now below 40 so I can lower the milk intake. My partner is working away this week and I'm finding it difficult. In short, I was a little off track but managed to get myself back onto the right path. Come weigh in and I've only lost 2lbs, however I fully intend to put that right this week (week 3).
Hopefully you're all making great progress, for those with more experience - any tips? How were your first 2 weeks? What is really motivating you to lose weight?
Hope to hear from you all soon!
