Step 1 Sole Source The Last Re-start!

ive just started day 3 now, and struggling a bit
but im keeping going !!:)

Stick with it Alison!!!!! Don't give up and keep your eye on the prize! I'm 6 days deep (lol sorry! Imagined myself all gangster there for a minute..... Or more accurately 'hamster' as my predictive text just suggested!) and determined to do it this time so your have a buddy out here slogging through too xx
 
Morning all, after a fab shot at this in 2012 I've struggled ever since to get back into it and although some days are a struggle in just short of 4 st off since Oct and I am so pleased I've kept trying.

You all know you can do it you just need to re convince yourself x x x
 
woop woop etc etc this is the bev we know and love well chuffed its all good in the slimming hood! the 16s will be in the rear view mirror in no time. my weigh in is now more of a fliud affair mainly mondays but not every week. seem to have got myself into quite a good place and slowly moving away from the products. basically step 5 by my own design.
jxx
 
Awesome everyone is doing great by the sound of it!! I'm doing good just 6 days back in I weigh in on a Saturday and do my measurements every 2 weeks last week I only dropped 2lbs but lost 6 inches all over so pretty chuffed!! As for the anti social comment I get that ALL the time and the constant what you're doing is unhealthy you're a scientist and should know better! Well I am a scientist and actually the science behind cambridge is totally justified and logical so neeeerrrr :p lol xx

And hello again lovely Angel - and well done!!!! You are such a 'restarter' inspiration :) Keep on, keeping on xx
 
Afternoon ladies I hope you're having a lovely weekend.
I had a good start with Monday - Thursday going well, and then Friday night it all collapsed :sigh: Didn't get a proper dinner because of a late meeting so wine and oven chips came into play :(
Yesterday we went out for a curry and drinks with friends (I did have seabass which was delicious & I don't eat nan bread so that's something I suppose). But finding something to wear was just traumatic last night so I had one of defining moments when I realised I really have to stop being weak and take control so i can wear my favourite red trousers once again .....
It all adds up to a disaster and I've undone all my hard work this week :sigh:
This morning we went for a walk and clocked up 3.32 miles - not much but better than nothing and I'm going to push hard this next week to get back on track and get my lardy arse into the gym

.......here endeth this weeks lesson in self loathing .......

Oh honey. It's not great, but put away the self loathing and realise that while you have sabotaged yourself, YOU can save yourself. Get a plan, stick to it and maybe avoid going out for the first 2 weeks (sounds like this is your undoing?). I don't know how or why I get that magic 'brain click' that makes it all easy for me again so I can't tell you how to get that, so just 'fake' the positive 'I'm going to do this 100%' mindset until you' make'it! Don't give up, every day 1 brings you closer to finishing this journey.

I hope you're having a better (successful) diet week hon xx
 
Hi all - been a while

I'm back on Cambridge AGAIN pmsl!!

So far 13lbs 1/4 in 4 weeks :) xx
 
And so the merry go round keeps turning.......I'm here again....as of tomorrow :cry:

I'm 3/4 of a stone heavier, my clothes are bursting and I feel truly awful. My eating habits are out of control, I'm socialising a lot and therefore consuming endless empty wine calories, and I dread opening the wardrobe door.

Im getting exercise which is at least something I suppose.

I need to make this work like it did the first time. God only knows how I'm going to do that :sigh:
 
Back again too, thought I'd pop by and see if any of the old faces are still about. Back on Cambridge again, put on almost 2 stone in 2 years, it's not as bad as last time, but felt the last few months I was slipping back into very bad habits, so really want to get back in control again! Wish me luck! x
 
Hi to all returners :) I am now on day 6 and feel a bit better this morning. Not hungry so far! I'm the same as you Manx. I lost a lot 2 years ago and have put on again so I'm back too! For me after I lose the weight it's the maintenance that can be the issue. But.... I'm only on day 6 - again!! Days 4 and 5 were awful!! I was sooo tired, depressed and almost gave up - again....... but I feel energised this morning so feeling more positive. 2 stones to lose so as long as my mind is in the right place I'll hopefully get there. Just read Beverley's opening diary and this inspired me! Bev your honesty with your life made me see areas of mine which were the real issue and aspects were similar to yours. I hope things are going well for you and all restarters. :) It's very early days for me but it's great to be able to chat with folks as ithelps so much when you're having weak moments!!! I did at 8pm last night and ended up drinking water and having an early night! Maybe that's why I'm chirpy this morning. Wish you luck too Manx.
 
Hi all .. Loving this thread .. I'm a returner after success on a previous attempt.. I got pregnant so put it back on .. Plus more ☺️.. But I'm here to fight for our lives back with you guys
 
Okay so the restart didn't go as planned, so it's another restart now. Last time we ended up buying our first house, so money became a bit tight.. But now we are good and I'm ready to start again! All products ready for the morning and in my bag to take to work!! How are you all doing??
