It's been a gloomy day here today in Fl, but Andy is laid up with a knee injury and I am having issues with my ankle so we have basically spent the day on the couch. It's been a good day for Cambridge. Neither one of us felt like spending any time in the kitchen (Andy is not SSing 100% so food is still being made) so it's been a Cambridge day. I'm just going in to make our dinner shakes but I first wanted to pop in here and see if there was any posts to read. Nope! lol
I would love to see some activity on the board. I know we have friends coming on here to visit but not posting and I want to encourage and invite you to just say "Hi". We can talk about subjects other then SSing. I would love a good discussion on the challenges of weight loss or even of obesity. By sharing our insights and feelings, along with our struggles and challenges, we can strengthen each other and maybe even gain the inspiration we need to get on the path we all want to be on. Getting healthy!

Hi, Pam:
I have not been posting for the past few days because I have not been faithful to SSing on Cambridge.
I saw my orthopedist on Thursday and I STILL need to continue my physical therapy three times a week which is sort of getting me down.
I agree with the need to share our experiences on this journey. Sometimes I feel all alone and the only person going through this period of deprivation. But, I took stock of my situation and am continuing SSing today. So far, so good.

Doing Cambridge can be a lonely experience..very true. Of course, if you are doing it with a family member or friend it can make it a lot less isolating. But I know I felt like I was a foreigner in my own country, out of step with the general population, who were all out there eating whatever they wanted! lol!
All the more motivation to get this over with! Knowing that we can lose 30+ pounds a month if adhering to this diet should be motivation enough you would think, but the urge to eat is part of our survival. It just got all mangled up with a lot of stuff that has nothing at all to do with that. Not surprising though. As infants, we experience the unpleasant and stressful sensation of hunger and have no idea why or how to make it stop. Then someone feeds us and all the yuckies go away! Magical!!
I'm sorry your ankle has been so discouraging for so long. With as active as you like to be, it's got to be harder for you to stick with your diet since you don't have that positive outlet. But I guess now the goal has a new purpose then before. Losing this weight while healing is the smartest thing you can do to prevent future injury. Maybe if you look at this (Cambridge) as a prescribed part of your healing and therapy it will stop you before making a bad choice. Like when you are told not to eat before surgery. It can be your medicine to get you back on the dance floor!
Nope! lol
