Hi, my name is Heidi and I would like to share my personal story.

I have dieted and been overweight almost my entire life.  My first official diet I remember was when I was a mere 9 years old.  It was not easy being the chubby kid and even more depressing to be an overweight, low self-esteemed teenager.  It was not long before I became a secluded and more despaired young adult.  The weight I carried was my own personal prison that held me captive from the outside world, as I was ashamed and embarrassed to be in public.  Depression, fatigue, joint aches and high blood pressure plagued me, which greatly took its toll on my physical and mental well-being.  I tried so many different ways to lose weight all to no avail nothing worked.  I was on so many diets, you know the infamous yo-yo syndrome.

A few years ago, I lost a substantial amount of weight on a high protein/low carbohydrate program which resulted in excess stress on some vital organs and regaining all weight plus extra pounds as soon as I incorporated some carbohydrates back into my daily nutrition.  I did not go overboard or crazy with things that I sustained from but I do feel that I could no longer manage working the program that was set before me.  I do know that method of dieting happened particularly not to be the best for my system.

I remember Cambridge being available in the 1980's and was curious to see if this product was still accessible.  I found that, indeed it was, and ordered my first shipment that day.  Three days later, I began what changed my life forever and has been very easy for me to lose the extra weight almost effortlessly.  When I rethink how I felt over the past years  while "dieting", I never felt as good as I do now.

I recall the thoughts that consumed me to what I could or could not have.  Cambridge completely eliminated the frustration of too many decisions and left me feeling very satisfied and healthy.  The increased energy and physical stamina was apparent from the very beginning and the weight loss was a steady amount the entire time.  Not once, did I feel deprived not did I crave things that I had previously craved on every diet I had tried before.

My line of work allows me to see people on a 6-month or less interval and the support and the encouragement I received as people noticed me slimming down helped keep me motivated.  Many people thought that I had actually had my stomach stapled.  As I began to walk and enjoy being outdoors, this led to increased mileage in my exercise routine, it was soon after that, I was able to begin to jog and lift weights to add versatility.

In twelve months I am proud to say I had lost a whopping 185 pounds and have gone from a size 26/28 to a 12.  I am still a work in progress as I am on my way to reaching my goal of a size 10.  I am a 10/12 now and on my way to an 8.
