back on track 3rd time lucky

Since I havent posted since january it might not suprise anyone that we haven't been following cambridge! Its been unbelievably hard to get back on track. We've been starting fine on a Monday, all raring to go and then failing miserably and not even managing 3 days. To begin with we were doing well managing our food, not overeating making sensible choices, but the last few weeks the old behaviour crept in. Its so hard when we are both addicts. If one of us wants to overeat its just too easy to get the other to join in. Anyway tale of woe over, we finally tried to start again last monday and i can happily say we now have a whole successful week done. Once you've got a week under your belt its so much easier to carry on - its just getting through that first week is so tough. Good news is I've lost 17bs and kel 12lbs according to our home scales. but not sure how much we had put on - somewhere between a stone and a stone and a half. We've just had an official weigh in so we can get an official weigh loss next week. According to the cdc
i'm now 270.5lbs and the lowest i got to was 258 - a difference of 12.5 lbs
kel is now 233.5 and her lowest was 217.5 - a difference of 16 lbs

we're both fired up and ready to get that excess of and get back to losing more - wish us luck!

round 2 day 6

Bloody nora weighed myself this morning and i'm back to where i was when we stopped cd for xmas. Its only taken a week to lose 14lbs. (yes i put on a stone in a month!). to lose so much so quick surely means its all water and glycogen stores which in effect means that when i do get to goal thats about how much i'll put back on naturally not overeating. I think it might be a good idea to get a bit lower than goal - especially since i've put my goal weight as the first weight that will get my bmi to 25! Mind you its not really an issue at the moment since i still have another 6 stone + to lose. I feel really positive about it - having already lost 7 stone I just need to carry on the same way.

Round 2 day 4

Well by the taste in my mouth and the increase in energy i'd say i was defo in ketosis! Feel great and i've lost 8lbs already! i'm meant to be working but keep doing wedding stuff instead - naughty munch. check out the wedding blog here

Round 2 day 2

were back on 100% cambridge sole source as of yesterday. We tried and failed last week but i'm sure we will be fine this time. It was kels birthday at the weekend and i think we both knew we would eat so the motivation was completely lacking last week. I'm not in ketosis yet -i'm feeling starving but enjoying it in a wierd way but i'm also kind of grumpy - either from carb or nicotine withdrawal not sure which. I feel ok about everything though - even the few pounds that i've put on - i know if i can make it to day 4 it'll get easy again and once youve done a week of sole source you feel great and the weeks fly by. I'm thinking this time of sole sourcing for 12 weeks rather than the 4 weeks then an add a meal week but i havent discussed it with kel yet. I think the faster i can get to goal the better. At the beginning of last year i was a size 30 - 32 and i've begun this year a size 20 - 22 which is a fantastic achievement. when we started to come off cambridge in december i felt amazing about how i looked. I felt gorgeous! and that didnt really help to keep up with the diet. But i'm used to being this size now, its time to get to goal. We went to Cheshire Oaks yesterday and i bought a skirt from the Next Clearance shop - it was only £4 and a size 12!!! Optimism rules! God I cant wait to be a skinny munch x
