Woohoo! I cannot believe that this time tomorrow I'll be getting ready to go to my first meeting. It seemed so long to wait when my LLC said "January" - six weeks! - but it's flown by and I am so glad now that I've had time to adjust to the idea and of course to get to know people on here.
I had a belated Christmas lunch today with some friends, ate what I wanted without guilt and didn't duck the camera when one of the girls produced it. She'll email the pics to me, so I'll post the ones with me as a baseline for the day before my life changes forever!
Well done again to sansukh for a great start, and all the success in the world to those of you starting LL this week...

Hi all
Another January newbie to add to the collection!
My first meeting is tomorrow and I just can't wait.... the cupboards are bare and just finished the last of the Quality Street! I'm quite scared as I desparately want this to work and hope I can do it as I see this as a bit of a "last chance saloon" as if I can't do it with LL then what are my chances of ever doing it (have lost 3st before with SW and less with WW but like many of us have put it back on).
So I wish all you fellow newbies all the luck in the world but with all your determination and the support on here I'm sure you won't need it!

End of Foundation 24/4/2009: 9 stone 5.5lb
Current weight: 21/01/2011: 9 stone 6lb (and 12 weeks pregnant!!)
This is just so exciting and cosy. I love the fact that we all start so close together and are already all supporting each other. It's the main reason I decided on LL in the first place (and came back again)Originally Posted by EmVeg
Look at everyone starting tomorrow! So exciting!
If I don't manage to come on here during lunch or before you all go I just want to say the very, very best of luck.
Don't forget your starting pictures and measurments if you're looking to follow it through the journey as a motivation.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE - WE CAN DO THIS!
*slightly excited.*

Wow - this thread is incredible! The passion and excitement really is palpable... for those of you that have started, I hope you're ok and not having any withdrawal symptions... if you are, fear not - they do pass... for those going to their first meeting today, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU! The first day really is very exciting!
I am here if you have any questions for an, ummmm, old hand (not as experienced as some on here, and you are lucky to have Westie in your 'gang' as she knows all about it) feel free to message me (just click my name and choose 'Send Private Message'. I'm on here farrrr too much in the day anyway....(Don't tell my boss!)
In many ways I feel like today is my first day - I've had a real struggle over December with lapses etc... I was fine until then - so a good 3.5/4 months without even considering it... but I've decided to leap on your bandwagon and get going again PROPERLY... so I might hang around here a little bit and channel a bit of the 'new starter' energy that is abundant on this thread (if that's ok?)
Honestly, you are going to be stunned by how quickly the changes start to happen - you'll love it, but your head won't actually 'understand' and 'believe' it for a long time yet - try and keep taking photos - preferably in underwear (password functions on folders is always a useful tip!)... and don't breath in - be natural. Do it each week... and then you'll always be able to see how far you have come... keep them in a scrapbook (if you're ok risking other's seeing them) and write about how you've felt and cut out pics of inspiring people, clothes you love, things you want to do etc... this will be your bible and will get you through some tough times.
This isn't called a rollercoaster for nothing - it has ups and it has downs - the first 'down' is usually around week 3 (according to my LLC) when the novelty starts to wear off and the road ahead looks really long... but I PROMISE you, it flies by and it is so incredible looking back.... and you've got it all to come!!!!
Get in touch if you want to... there are pics (one of which is VERY scary but quite motivating) in my album - you may need 50 posts to view it... check the links under my pic...
I'm here rooting for every single one of you - you CAN do this, you ARE doing this, you are CHOOSING your destiny, you are TAKING CONTROL and you WILL succeed!! GO JANUARY STARTERS!!!
