Hi
Right ok, well I'm fairly new to this but my Mum (Russian Doll) said I should give it a go - so here I am.
I am now coming to the end of week three. This is the 2nd attempt of Cambridge - first one was a bit of a disaster. After doing really well in week one I cheated relentlessly and completely fell off the wagon until I gave up!
This time it is different. I have a lot more motivation! I used to be in the Royal Marines, I used to be slim and I used to be fit. I miss my mountain biking, hill walking, canoeing, swimming, well everything actually! I left the Royal Marines in 2001 with a bad knee injury, which still plagues me, even after 3 operations. To make matters worse I developed a tumour on my thyroid when I was 18 which caused me to gain weight rapidly before it was removed. Without realising it, I had gone up 3 dress sizes in little over a month! And thats been me, for 5 years, just accepting that I'm overweight but now I don't want to be this person. I want to live my life to its full potential, doing all the things I want to do before it's too late. My husband is a Royal Marine and he is very fit. We both like to walk but I slow him down. Its stuff like that I want to change, and I will change!
So I embarked on the Cambridge diet again. The only restriction is the money. I am a student and I hope I can afford to keep going! This time I have been ANGELIC! It helps that my husband is away with the marines but he's home on Wednesday so I'll let you know how that goes! I don't really have a big goal as such. At the moment I just want to get from a size 20 to a size 16 - just as a start. I have already managed to get to an 18 so things are going well. I want to go further but I'm taking small steps, otherwise I may just overwhelm myself!
Week 1= A loss of 13lb and 14.5 inches
Week 2= A loss of 3lb but another 18.5 inches
Week 3= I don't think I've lost much weight this week, but I feel confident that I've lost more inches which is what I'm really bothered about! I'll let you know on Monday!
Anyway I'm going to try and keep this diary up to date. I think it'll help me stay focussed! Finger Crossed!
