Hi everyone!!
I was on here last year doing the Cambridge diet, and I found it a huge support, so thought i'd give it another go.
I thought i'd start with a little abut me;
I've always been a chunky girl, at 18 I was at my heaviest, tipping the scales at 26 stone!!...... Though I have never been that weight since, my weight has always fluctuated between 14 stone and 20 stone. Once motivated, I had never really struggled to loose weight, but would loose the motivation, and very quickly get back to my old habits of eating larger portions, the wrong foods and as I was always a bit of a party girl - giving in to the calls of a lovely cold pint of beer instead of a skinnier alcoholic beverage.
The last couple of years, my life has changed a lot. I've settled down with the man of my dreams and in December 2009 we had a beautiful son. My family are my world!!
Anyway as much as I adore my beautiful boys, since having my son (I gained A LOT in pregnancy), I have found it much harder to loose weight. Very frustrated, I stumbled across the Cambridge diet last summer. Amazed at the results in just a few short weeks, I thought i'd found the diet for me. Unfortunately, a few months in, I got quite sick and was advised to take a break. When I was back to full health, I found it impossible t restart the diet. I was gagging putting the shakes to my mouth. I tried to stick t a healthy eating plan, and have done ok, but in the last few months, my weight has been beginning to rise.
This time I want a LONG term solution. I am a mother, I want more children in the future and am in the process of starting my own business, so it has become important to me to stop playing russian roulette with my health and start as I mean to go on. I want to be around for my children, their children and so on, so I need to break this chain of loosing and gaining weight.
So, thats why I'm here.... I've decided to try Xenical alongside a healthy eating plan. I start on friday.... very excited and realistic that it is a long jurney to change my eating habits, but determined to do it!!!!!
Wish me luck!!!!!!
