Any new starters 2018???

Hi Guys,

I am on day 6 of Cambridge diet sole source and I too am looking for some buddies!! I've put a little spiel on my update and intro below - if you fancy teaming up, hit me up on instagram Curlyblu3 to keep in touch....

Hope you are all doing well!!! I've just logged into my Minimills diet after 4 years away and those 4 years have bought me 4 naughty stones!!! I have to say... it has been an incredibly delicious, very happy 4 years but the time has come & it has to go!!!! I reached my 30s 2 weeks ago and after spending the last 6 months gradually dieting with exercise and healthy eating, I have come to the point where I just need to start seeing some quick results. I have a holiday in 12 weeks (Orlando, disney, universal etc) and I am keen to shed as close to 4.5 stone as possible in that time to ensure I don't suffer from sweaty heat exhaustion or alternatively the friction between my thigh's creating a small bush fire... go figure.

My history... did the Cambridge diet when I was 21 and lost 3.5 stone in a couple of months - I lost 40lbs within the first 6 weeks and am reeeeeally hoping that my 30 year old body is still capable of such losses.

Anyway... I'm doing fine at the moment, I have insatiable will power so sole source is easy just so incredibly boring!!! Whats worse, is that food and cooking are my hobbies so I am constantly scrolling through #foodporn - ugh.

Look forward to speaking with you all and hopefully hearing from you! This forum has always been what's kept me going!!!

Thanks Sun,

Day 3 today and woke up with a banging head this morning, weighed myself and another 2lb off. So 5lb in 2 days, I know I shouldn't weigh myself every day but it keeps me motivated!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Simone... I weigh myself every day too! I know people say not to do it but honestly, whatever gets you through!! My scales flash green or red when I lose or gain and seeing that little flash of green every morning keeps me going! :)

Hi All,
I know this is completely off track guys but I was wondering if any of you had ever had any Ovarian Cysts? I went for an ultra sound last week as I have been suffering from IBS for years and recently it has been worse, and my doctor told me yesterday that I have a cyst on my left ovary....... I had a CA 125 blood test this morning to see if my count is okay and I'm booked in with a gyno next wed at the hospital. Everyone I'm talking to today keeps telling my they are very common and a lot of women have them but my mind is racing and my anxiety has gone into overdrive! Any of you ladies had any experience of this?

I had 2 ovarian cysts removed around 10 years ago. No problems since then at all :)

Hi Simone, I had a cyst last year but it went on it’s own accord. They are very common so please try not to worry. I know it’s hard but your seeing gynea next week and I’m sure they will give you a clearer picture of it and alleviate any concerns xxx

Wow! Well done you! That’s a great weight loss! How did you get on with your consultant?
 
Just got blood results back and all okay, so just need to decide how we are tackling the cyst on Wednesday at the hospital, hopefully it wont be big enough to warrant surgery... Now I can focus on my weight loss! x
 
Hi everyone,

Not been on for a few days, been off colour & a bit ‘meh’. I think it’s my hormones mixed with the heat & a ratty 16 month old who turned into the devil over night & hasn’t returned to the boy he once was.

Not had a proper catch up on everyone’s trials & tribule’s yet but have just been for my weigh in, feeling hefty & full of water but was shocked to find I’d lost 5lb again. (15lb in the last 3 weeks) totalling 54lb in 13 weeks. Feeling a little more positive & ready for the week ahead.

Anyway, will catch up reading now.
Good luck for tomorrow Sun ☀️ Xx
 
That’s a great boost when you ve had a hard week, congrats 15lb lost in 3 weeks is pretty impressive long may it continue

Hi! I feel your pain with the little one, my girl turned 2 last week and it’s like someone has flicked a switch! Terrible twos or the heat! She’s not coping well with this weather. Great weight loss so far down the line, I feel very bloated too, this is my first monthly since I started 3 weeks ago and feel like I am bloated to the max but not given into temptation yet.
But I felt totally full of water the last 2 weigh ins and lost a good amount so who knows! I’m glad it’s motivated you, it’s hard keeping strong when the little ones are stressing us out 🤪
