I've been reading a lot of everyones weight loss diaries, and it seems that writing one has been helpful for weight loss journeys, so I have decided to write one myself.
As the title suggests, I am a paramedic and work horrible shift work :-( it might surprise you (or not) that we as a collective are not the most healthy of people, we drink, smoke, and eat a lot of things that are really not healthy and don't do very much exercise. Hopefully, tomorrow I am going to start changing that for myself.
I have been on the Cambridge diet before, I lasted about 2 months and lost about 2 and a half stone and loved it, but as always I gave up. This time though it will change, it has to, because I don't think I can cope with all the negative feelings that come with being overweight.
I am 5 foot 5 and weight 16 stone - the heaviest I have ever been, and the most unhappy I have ever been - this is why things will change. I am starting ss again tomorrow.
Sorry if this has been one long rant, but I am hoping that there are people here who may give me support, as my OH won't. I have been reading other diaries and am in awe of many of you, especially LovelyLauren and Kez. I'm hoping that we can all support each other through the bad times and good times.
That's it, sorry for the long rant!

Welcome and good luck! I started almost 2 weeks ago just under what you weigh now and I am finding it good so far. Well done on your past losses - at lest you know it is doable!
