My Journey..... to being "normal"

Hi All,

I am completely new to all this to bare with me please.

I have read the threads posts etc and how inspiring you have all been, I have done it and taken the plunge I have my first meeting on Wednesday night. I am so nervous and scared. I am scared I won't like anything on and I have heard some horror stories from a friend who has done it previously saying the shakes are lumpy etc all the time. Which makes me feel a bit bleh!

Anyway.. I think its a great idea to keep a diary so I hope you don't mind me rambling on. I am 27 and not sure how much a weigh but im a big big lass. I am 5ft 11 so ppl say i carry it well which is just annoying but.. I really need to lose this weight I want to have children but can't as i have PCOS and i need to go through treatment and they won't let me until I loose weight.

I have got a mini target is to loose 2 stone by July 19th, I hope this is totally doable, I am going with the girls for a weekend away and well all my girls are skinny as hell and i always in my eyes look like a beast beside them.

You know when you just want to be normal wear normal clothes and be treated like a NORMAL person. This is all very depressing lol on a plus note..... I have bought a new pair of size 18 jeans and they are my first target really, then onto size 14....

Any words of wisdom anyone can offer or any help please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let me know im gonna need all the help I can get.

Thanks so much for reading lol my slightly depressing story.

Mucho love hugs and wobbly bits

Feebs!

Hi feebs! How exciting! I hope you really love the programme, I've been on it for 5 weeks now and still loving it. I think your tastes with the packs varies, I've gone off some but really started to like others.

My biggest tip would be to keep up with the water, drink loads, it helps you feel fuller in the first couple of days before ketosis kicks in, along with other benefits.

Keep us posted on how you get on! Best of luck!

Are u finding it okay? If u dont mond me asking how much have u lost in 5 weeks? Are the shakes reeeeeeally lumpy lol domt think ill cope with that.

ill be sure to keep u all posted xx

Hello welcome to the plan!


It's great that you have decided to take this journey on, 7 weeks in and I feel so much better and am on the route to where I want to be.

I only like three of the packs which are banana, vanilla and mint chocolate and I have only had these for the last 5 weeks. I have done fine on just those and really don't even miss food at all.

Let us know how it goes!

I've lost a total of 1st 8lbs in the 5 weeks. And i haven't found the shakes lumpy, the shaker works wonders! I think perseverance is needed in the first week but after that it becomes so much easier.

Tash you have done amazing! I'm on 1st 6 pounds now in my 7 weeks. Hopefully a big loss this week is coming !

Thats amazing weight loss well doneee!!!. I hope I survive the first week im so nervous lol but I want to loose 2 stone by july I have tooooo!!!

Sitting in car park before my first LL meeting crapping myself lol so nervous and now going do I.... dont I :thumbup::thumbdown:

Don't be nervous They won't bite..

I remember my first meeting though in 2008... I was so so so scared... and ashamed of having to take such a drastic step because I'd gotten so big (BMI 45!!) ... but know that the first step is always the hardest... it's all downhill from there.

Done it got my packs very inspirational meeting with ladies there that have lost uber amounts of weight ... I didnt get told my weight though on a plus means I cant weight myself over and over again lol ... xx feebs xx

Well done You see - it wasn't so scary after all!

Strange that she didn't tell you what you weigh - but in a way it's better... first week results will knock your socks off!

Suggestion for first 3 days - keep busy!! And drink lots of water. You may very well get headaches, get very hungry and feel dizzy... but it will pass by day 4 or 5. You'll be in ketosis by then and feeling fine!

Stay strong

Thank you you have been great ill let u know how I get on xx

How very exciting feebs! I wish you the best of luck, but like Min said, after your first WI you'll be flying!

Well.... it wasnt so bad got really hungry by 3pm but made it to finish having a hot broth the now and then two shakes to go.. got a sore head as well ooft...
On another hand come home my dog has eaten two packs

Haha, I apologise for laughing feebs, but I bet the dog is feeling quite pleased with himself! The sore head goes soon, you'll be feeling better than ever in a couple of days.

Are you going for a pop in weigh?

Hey feebs, how are you getting on?
