Hi all!
Am hoping a diary might keep me on track and will try to 100% honest.......
I started Cambridge in 2008 and slowly (because I kept falling off the wagon but always got back on again) I lost 4 stone and got to goal. Felt amazing, although did get a bit obsessed and always thought I should lose more. I never went onto Maintenance, just thought I could do it myself. Which I did for quite a bit. But did use Cambridge as a bit of a crutch.
My OH and I decided to try for a baby in 2010 and I fell pregnant straight away. I felt (and still do stand by this) that the only time I have ever felt it should be acceptable for me to eat exactly what I wanted and not be judged was pregnancy. So I ate exactly what I wanted, and thought well I lost before on Cambridge and I can do it again.
Obviously put on loads of weight whilst pregnant with that attitude, and so after our daughter was born I tried a couple of months after she was born to try and lose it. Started healthy eating at first and lost a bit, and then went onto Cambridge once she was 5 months. I found it so hard whilst on Maternity leave with mummy lunches and being at home a lot.
So decided to go back to Cambridge in Jan once I was back to work full time and try again. I have fallen off the wagon and got back on so many time since then. And I just don't think Cambridge is for me anymore. I only like the chocolate tetras so I have 21 a week. It's pretty boring not eating any food, but then when you only have choc milkshakes constantly it makes it even more boring!
Someone in the office is doing slim and save and she said how nice all the products are so I thought I would try it.
I love everything so far....well apart from the mushroom pasta. It's so nice to finally have a choice and am doing ok. Official weigh day is Thursday evening but I was naughty this morning and had a sneaky peek and I'm 5lbs down already so I'm chuffed with that, as I did have some alcohol on sat night because I needed to get through an awful social event!
I have about 6 stone to lose (my god that is hard to admit) but I don't want to put a ticker up as I don't want to see it!
Sorry didn't mean to waffle so much, was just going to write a quick intro lol
