Its good to have minimins back. I found this site over 8 years ago now!!! When I was lighter life -ing and loved it then. Once I'd lost the weight and moved across to Australia I stopped visiting as often but would still pop by now and then to see how things were going.
So anyway my story is the usual. Lost 6 stone with Lighter Life in 2007 and almost immediately moved to Australia in Jan 2008. New job, new people, new social life and 8 years later all the weight back on. I tried a few diets in between but it was either not the right time or just not the right diet.
Now just feels right, I've just turned 47 so 50 is starting to stare back at me with intent. I was fat and twenty, fat and thirty and not as fat and forty as I'd just finished Lighter Life, I'd really love to be slim and fifty! When I first moved here (Melbourne) there was one Cambridge Diet Consultant and she lived across the other side of the city from me so it didn't really work. Well since then the franchise is starting to take off. Still not the coverage there is the UK but alot more consultants on board. So I decided to give it another go. I should say I even had a gastric band fitted in 2012 and that didn't work for me either. That is a whole other saga.
Anyway the consultant has started me off on Step 2 which worried me a bit - last time I sole Sourced all the way and it was the first diet ever to be effective. I loved the total black and whiteness of it. No food at all, no chance to play around with it. Its only been 6 days but I'm actually really enjoying Step 2, I love the fact I get to eat a small meal in the evening. I just need to keep an eye on myself that I don't start upping portion sizes and adding non-authorised ingredients, I can be sneaky like that when my sensible brain is looking the other way.
Anyway weigh in tonight - coz I didn't start straight away I'm really hoping for a big number (please)
