Thread: Marge's 2013 Lucky Lucky Diary !!

Hello all

I just did a mega introductary post to myself and lost it
Might be just as well, I was waffling a bit

Basically, I put alot of weight on, approx 8 yrs ago...
I stopped walking 2 miles each way to work, due to a change of job, thus no exercise.
I also stopped smoking, but replaced it with food
So the upshot was, I put on approx 6 stone in approx 18 months

The most I have lost in any one time is about 2 stone... but I lose interest too easy, and end up falling off the bandwaggon
I have yoyo dieted for a couple of years now, with the same stone

My heaviest from now, was 2 stone more ... I have never gone that heavy again, so I know I can do it !!

So, here I am.... an almost fuller fat version of myself, I dont want to be skinny marge - just somewhere in the middle - for the moment.

Many thanks for reading.
Marge

Thanks Bubbles
I do intend to stick around, as it does seem like a very good site, for the likes of me, that needs a good deal of motivation

I am hoping to get started within the next week...
But, nevermind the wait...
It means I can have a good look around here meantime.

Hi Julz...
Thanks... I will keep rambling...not that I ever need an excuse to

Hi! Welcome! Good luck with exante x

Thanks SummerRain

I am hoping to start Exante next week, when my delivery arrives....

I work shifts, and one thing that I am not looking forward to, is having an evening meal at work, consisting of soup/shake
Everyone else normally has something that looks or smells great...

Has anyone got any tips that would help me get over this

Many thanks
Marge

Hi
Welcome and good luck
Whilst you're waiting for your packs it may be a good idea to cut down on your carbs in preparation

Did you buy any bars? If you did, then this might be an easier option for you at work as they just look like flap jacks and are very handy.

Good luck...xxx

Hi Toots, and thanks
Yes, I had thought about doing that, so I am glad I am not on the wrong track.
I will start that tomorrow

Hello Miss Mac, thanks
Yes, I did order the bars... one of the variety packs.
I will try that and see how I go... maybe I will try and take my break at a different time from others too... other than that, I am not sure what else to do

love the name and the ethos - very good luck

Thanks slimmer bridezilla

Hiya Marge all the very best with your weight loss journey and welcome to minis.. X x
