Lucy's Cambridge diet thread!

**SimplyLucy** · 07-01-2009, 07:26 AM

Well after reading Dee's thread (I read the whole thread last night!) I have been inspired to do the Cambridge diet.

I am currently at my heaviest and feel big, heavy aand uncomfortable. I have a lot of weight to loose to get into my recommended BMI target but I'm feeling positive.

I have considered a gastric band but can't afford the time off work for the surgery, I've done the usual slimming world/weight watchers.

I did loose 5 stone on WW in 2005 but my husband walked out on me the week I hit the 5 stone marker. It's all back on now plus a few extra lb's.

I guess I kind of relate weight loss to the fact that my husband upped and left, kind of a mental block (or maybe an excuse). But now I have my fantastic partner who I've been with for 2 years (I was 3 1/2 st lighter when we met!). Ade is very supportive and wants to loose a bit of weight too so he's looking forward to me refusing to cook him nice meals, he'll organise most of the childrens meals to begin with to take the pressure off me too.

Well fingers crossed the Cambridge lady I emailed last night rings me today and I can get the ball rolling.

Ps. can someone let me have the fatty photo password so I can share my hugeness with you all before I start to shrink!

oh lucy good luck
dee has been such an inspiration to us all
nice to hear that you have a supportive partner too it's must be very hard to do it on your own

Good luck Lucy - it is a fab way of losing weight easily and quickly and because of that you stay inspired.

I started in July and am 3.5 stone lighter and like you follow Dee's progress. She has great advice

Thanks Louise, glad it's not just me then!

What I need is a personal trainer and a cook who will do it all for me and I just eat the food and can do a few exercises and my weight will drop off! Simple eh? FAT chance! lol

I haven't done any exercise but walk to and from school occasionally.

With Cambridge you are eating less than 500 calories a day so if you stick to it 100% you will lose and fast.

**FizzysFriends** · 07-01-2009, 01:14 PM

I need a personal trainer that would live here for a bit to stop me snacking etc. But as im not a millionaire Im doing Cambridge too.

**Rubybubbles** · 07-01-2009, 01:19 PM

good luck lucy, I started cd on 30th Dec and going well, as Dee knows (bow down to dee

) she has been brilliant and I love reading her progress

keep it going and keep us updated xx

**sue m** · 07-01-2009, 01:25 PM

I'll google it and have a look. I'm no good at finding things on here so I'll make it easy by googling! I just keep going in the biscuit tin all day and filling up on those and then have dinner at night. I can't not have biscuits in cos others eat them. I'm hoping when I get my thyroid and iron levels back to normal, I will have some more brains and not feel quite so tired and lethargic. I want to lose a lot of weight but can't be bothered which is ridiculous.

**sue m** · 07-01-2009, 01:34 PM

Hi ladies

Just logged on quickly and came across this thread.

I am so pleased to see so many people interested in Cambridge

I have to say that I am soooo pleased that I found Cambridge as it really was the answer for me. For all of you who read my thread will see that I lost a total of 9 stone in 9 months.

Have to say that it was probably the easiest diet for me as it allowed me to cut out food all together but it does take an awful lot of committment but I have to say that my brain was in the right place and I was fully committed.

I fully believe in the product and recommend that you contact one of your local counsellors if you are interested.

Here is the addy for Cambridge - http://www.cambridge-diet.co.uk/

If anyone needs any help/support at anytime then feel free to PM me - I don't always get time to log onto the forum but my PM's are linked to my email and I usually check my emails every day.

Good luck

Dee

P.S. If anyone wants access to the Fatty Foto's area they need to PM Angel.
