And so it begins

Hello
Just wanted to start a journey thread for my own peace of mind where i can come and blog whats going on whilst im on the CD.

2 years ago i gave up smoking, *Pats self on back* and although i knew i was probably going to put on the weight, i didnt think it would be so extreme.
Before hand (and after 3 children) i had managed to get from 15st (213ib) down to 10st 4ib(144ib).
When i gave up smoking i was at 12st 5ib (173ib).
4 weeks ago i was 14st 10ib, but due to gastric reflux i managed to lose a bit of weight.

I think i have probably tried every diet and diet fad going, maybe losing 3ib here and there, but never having the will power to stick to it, i think maybe because i had been doing it on my own, with no support network and no inspiration.
This time however i have found this great forum, with inspiration at every turn, and i also have a great CDC who i know i can ring if ever i feel i am going to slip up.

Sooooo

Hello and welcome to the CD forum. The people on here are very inspirational and supportive.
When do you start on Cambridge? Good luck with your first week. Day 1-3 are probably the hardest days, but just stick to it, keep yourself busy and you'll see the pounds fall off you.

Look forward to following your journey.
Take care.
