Starting Cambridge Diet on monday!

[Siobhan89]

Hi everyone! I'm Siobhan, I'm 22 and new to this and to Cambridge diet! Starting for the first time on monday after a few hopeless attempts on Scottish Slimmers and also after an upsetting but motivating experience at the doctors yesterday. It was she who suggested the Cambridge diet to me so i thought i would give it a go! I would say i have nothing to lose but clearly i have lol Went to the doctors about my sore back and left in tears after being told i should lose some weight. I suppose it was probably the wake up call i needed but i still felt like an idiot bursting into tears! I've been overweight since i was young and i just want to finally feel gd about myself and the way i look. I hope to start keeping a weight loss diary on here to keep me motivated but just wondered if anyone had any advice or tips?

Siobhan xx

1/ make sure you have your packs dont skip as I have heard this can stop you losing weight
2/ try and spread them out evenly if really bad half one
3/ try and drink all your water
4/ don't worry if ya but someones head off around day 3-4 lol or cry a lot you will get through it
5/ make a diary we love reading other people's
6/ remember everyone loses weight at a different rate don't be disheartened at any stage in your journey I have been advised we all will lose the same about stone a month
7/ take pics Def must!!!

Hope some of these help I have around 5 stone to lose and I have my first weigh in tomorrow and doing SS. Pleased to meet you
