Thread: Hi Im new

Hi Im Lynda an a new user to this forum ,Not a new dieter LOL. Sorry my profile is not set but for some reason it keeps resetting as black but i will keep trying and i will win.I am looking forward to getting to know you all.I am from East Lothian Scotland and currently just follow healthy eating and take a health supplement It seems to be working so will continue until it stops .I have 11 lbs to go to goal

Hello and welcome, When you reach 20 posts, You will be allowed to set up your avatar etc. Good luck in your weight loss journey, x

Thanks ,Im finding it a little difficult to navigate .Im sure i will get use to it.

I am sure you will be fine :-P x

Well done on reaching goal im hoping to be there soon.

I have to admit I had 3lb to target and on the Monday I hit star week, I felt like cr@p and bloated, I wasn't gonna go but hubby nagged lol, I went on the scale and she said I lost 4lb I cried and cried, Rachel group leader had to help me back to my seat!!! Have to admit I was a tad embarrassed but so overwhelming at the thought that I done something that people said I can't do......... LOOSE WEIGHT x

I have gotten to goal many times over the years with all sorts of plans and always have gained it all back and some .At the moment i follow weight watchers well sort of and i take a supplement that seems to keep me on track.The most ive regained over the last year is 9lbs but im up and down a lot.I have dropped down to a size 8/10 but im at the top end of my healthy weight scale so want to drop to 9st 9 so i can relax a little. Maintaining is a new beginning with a whole new set of challenges but im sure you will do great.

This is what i am hoping to avoid!! gaining the weight back, I have to admit i worked hard to get rid of the weight and I never want to go back to my old ways. Everyday is a battle of the chocolate, and star week I find hard cos I love chocolate and have the craving, but i take 1 day at a time like a recovering alcoholic and IF i do have a bad day I try and be good the next. Also going to group every week keep me honest with myself as well, as i don't want a huge gain unless its holiday/ christmas time x

We can only take one day at a time ,Chocolate is also my binge food of choice so im dreading Easter. Im trying to tell myself that i dont need to eat it all at Easter because chocolate is available all the time . Im hoping this works lol I just seem to go crazy at Christmas Easter ect

Hi! I'm from Scotland too!
Sounds like you're doing really well, keep it up!
Xx

Welcome to the site mate and good luck with your goal

I too am not looking forward to easter @ chocolate!! Be like putting pint in front of a alcoholic....... But 1 day at a time hey!! x

LOL
