Hello all,
Well I am new to all of this and would like to say that this site has been wonderful to me. I have found out some great information and love that people are so encouraging to each other.
My situtation is this:
I have been looking into getting the gastric band done for about 6 months now, but thought I would try the cambridge diet as a last ditch effort so that I can possibly avoid surgery. I am currently about 21 stone, and can't see to many people who have been on this that were or are that size. my BMI is 51.7 /52 which is quite high. Luckily for me I am fit as a fiddle and have absolutely no health issues. I am so concerned that there are issues regarding my BMI using this programme.
For me loosing this weight is so important. I like most people feel I have tried everything. I have done diet after diet, even had a personal trainer last year which I saw 3 times a week and I did additional excercises and was also on the body chef diet, which was 1200 cals a day all pre-made/homemade food. And found that whilst I did loose weight, I felt awful and just felt that the taste of the food was no great so I would have rather have had none.
Anyway, I have been reading loads about this diet and I think it is something I could stick too as I am not (inspite of my size) a big eater. I usually only have one and occasinally two meals away. I don't drink anything a part from water. I don't smoke and I am almost ( apart from once or twice a year) t-total. My biggest fault is the moving front. I am just staying at my weight because I don't really excercise. I was getting into my excercise, but when my trainer had back surgery, I found an excuse to not do the work and then just got back out of habit and then to be honest I think I have gotten a bit depressed about my weight and just got a case of the I "can't be a**ed" syndrome. I want to know what people are doing on this diet regarding levels of excercise? It seems most people have little energy.
I am hoping to see my GP next week once I speak to a CD counselor.
For all those who have been in it for a long time and acheived your goals, I am really happy for you, and hope to join you all soon.
Thanks
J
