I have a target of losing 70 pounds which would take me to 140. It seems daunting at the moment but I am determined to give it a try!

I just set up a sliding scale for my signature... the right hand side seems a long way off!

It might seem like a long way off now, but once you start you'll be surprised at just how quickly it moves

Good luck ladies,
I am sure starting LL will be a positive move for you. Nice to see that nobody has decided over Christmas not to go for it.
When I look back to this time last year I have a new life and attitude towards it now.
LL has turned my life around completely. i can't believe I am able to say that 2 days after Christmas, but it's true.
Good luck everyone for 2009.

Have you chatted to a counsellor about your concerns?

gary girl forever · 27th December, 2008

hi and welcome zandilemhlonitshwa,

i dont think everyone loose their hair and if you do its not permanant. the side effects can be harsh but i think they are totally worth it.

well im STILL waiting to hear my start date, there was talk that i would be the wednesday after new year but nothing set in stone!!! im going to ring on monday and try and get it sorted.

ive had a ok xmas, although food did feature quite heavily, im going to be starting LL a good half a stone heavier than i planned to i think!!!!!!! ive not got anything for xmas, just money which ive put away, then when i get to target i gonna go and have a huge shopping spree, hopefully of all size 12 clothes!!!!!!

EmVeg · 27th December, 2008

Well I've bought my scrap book for my LL journey, and bought the pair of jeans I've been looking at for a while in the sale as my dream size pair!

Getting in the mood for it!

louale · 27th December, 2008

Wow, sounds like we're all getting ready for the start line!

Food has featured heavily over my Christmas too, although I though I'd try and cut back, it's almost like the last supper each day for me, so really can't wait for 5 Jan to arrive.

I do have some CD packs and am tempted to use them for a week before I start LL, but worried that I might mess things up, so maybe better to wait to my start date.

Emveg - bet it won't take too long and your jeans will be too big for you lol

EmVeg · 27th December, 2008

Well... just as a little experiment I just "put the jeans on" to see where I am now, thinking it would make the moment I fit into them somehow comparable.

The reached my knees!!

I think that may make the moment in 4 or so months very sweet indeed.

And yes, that picture is going in my scrapbook.

Loving the thought of that picture - and also the thought of the cheering that will happen when you not only fasten them up but discover they are too big

daisydoll · 28th December, 2008

that made me laugh emveg!
I think I might do the same - i've got some size 12s from years ago somewhere - will be amazing if/when i can get them on!

somewhere_inside_is_me · 28th December, 2008

Hi all!
Not long to go now....ironically several of my presents were food related, but they'll keep, I haven't been behaving well, but not nearly as badly as I usually do over Christmas.
Can't wait until the 5th though. Or I suppose the 6th because the LL meeting is 8pm on the Monday and I guess we eat normally during that day?
Westiegirl - there was one girl at my info meeting who lived nearer Wrexham but hadn't known there was an LLC there, so I doubt she'll come back as a confirmation - I really hope we're in the same group, but either way you'll start very soon!

daisydoll · 29th December, 2008

8 days til my 1st meeting!!!!

gary girl forever · 29th December, 2008

ive just emailed for a start date again, i hope my LLC doesnt think im being pushy, i just need to know!!!!
