Have just had my first week weight in. 6 1/2 pounds off!!!! So happy! :D

I'm planning on doing a lot of walking along with my Diet, as I've signed up for a 26k walk. I downloaded something called Endomondo to my nokia for free. It shows you were you've been on a wee map which is quite cool.

Fantastic! Well Done. :) I'm getting on fine with it. Just trying to make sure I am more organised with food in, as I am a nightmare for just picking things up on the run at work. My first weigh in is Tuesday morning.

Well that's my first meeting done. And then had a trip round Tesco's as I thought it was best to leave the food shopping till after going to the meeting.

I'm starting tonight. ;)

I'm rejoining tonight. Signed up for the Edinburgh Moon Walk in June so need to do something along with training for that as I figured the less of me to carry round the better.

Glad to find some more horsey people on here. :) I'm trying to lose some weight as I'm aiming for the Highland Show this year, so the less of me my pony has to carry around the ring the better!

I've just started training for the Edinburgh one. Going to start the training plan early, so that if I start to struggle I'll have time to repeat a week rather than move on to the next one. Probably going to do the first or second week twice before I move just till I get into the swing of things.

I've just signed up for the Moon Walk in Edinburgh. Doing the full 26 miles (I hope!). Started my training today. Did what the GPS tracker on my phone thought was about 3 miles. 19 weeks to go and have no idea how am going to manage it. Determind tho as I have quite a few friends and...

I get the "Ugh it happened because I'm fat" feeling sometimes. And more than once have pulled the "She's skinnier than me" card on the boyfriend, who, to be fair to him, wasn't in the wrong. But sometimes it takes a moment to step back and really asses the situation to see that. know there...

How did you all find the slim fast diet? I tried Lighter Life but the shakes just did not agree with me at all. So after a weejk of trying really hard just to eat sensibly it's getting harder and harder, as no weight coming off (and I've been to gym 3 times in the last week). I did think...

I think it's a bit of both. I've always eaten fresh prepared food, never in my life have I had a cup-a-soup or an instant shake or anything like that. I can't stand the taste of any of them. I've tried several different ways of making them that people have suggested but none of them making it...

At what point do I say sensibly that this is not for me? I am really struggling to eat all my food packs. This morning I have a vanilla shake for breakfast, then had it in reverse 2 mins later. I can't seem to keep them down at all. I've been drinking water all day. I'm feeling no where...

I did Scottish Slimmers and got on okay. Slowly but okay. Have tried diet pills, they were a waste of money. Weight Watchers confused me so much I never started. Currenty on Lighter Life. It's working but it's really not agreeing with me. I'm struggling.

Okay here goes... my goals for this week are to... Eat ALL My shakes and not skip them. Ride my horse twice at least, which may not sound much, but with me being a bundle of nerves and the weather twice would be a lot better than the zero times in the last 2 months.

Morning Everyone. Thought would be a good idea to join in with this, to keep myself going. Currently having a vanilla shake for Breakfast. Is the first time I've had one. I'm not totally convinced but more determind than ever so soildering on... Off to gym in a bit, probably to do more...

I had major major problems at my surgery. However I ended up seeing a private doctor, recommended by my LL councellor. It only cost me £40. He took a lot of time to talk to me about the diet, and my health, and any issues I had. My GP, had she not been so rude, and agreed to sign the form...

Well Done!!!! I started the same day as you. I had lost 10lbs at my weigh in. Was so pleased!!!

Thanks Everyoine. Am sooo pleased. So please infact that I had a wee ride on my horse today. Not a lot. Just a 10min wak up the track and back, but made me really realise what I was missing. So now even more determind than ever.

I'm just home from my first drop in. Have been really struggling this first few days. But I've lost 10lbs!!!!!! I'm so amazed. I thought I had lost 4, if I was lucky. But 10!!!!!! Think this was just the kick in the butt I needed to make me see I can do this. And I will do this. So all the food...

Hey Kellie. I am on day 4. Think this is where it starts to get tough. Keeping my head up as know from everyone here that by my meeting on Tuesday I should feel a million times better. I'm very prone to cravings and haven't been hungry on this once yet. Ceck out the recipies folk have...

Hey. My Highlands are Primrose Of Tower and Fiadh Of Kirkcarrion.

Elie just wanted to say hey as I'm new too. I have 73lbs to lose to start with. That will take me down to 12.5 stone. The plan I'm on says I need to drink 4 litres of water a day. It's day 3 for me and 3 1/2 litres is the best I've managed so far. Hope you have all the success you want.

Mine are Country Life ones. They just fit and no more with Jhoddies on.

Am glad to find other horsey folk here. I have 2 Highland Ponies. A 19 year old mare called Rosie and a just turning 3 year old called Fiadh. I've not ridden for the past 2 months now due to my weight, as I feel it's too much to ask of Rosie. But I hope to be able to get back to it soon.

Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration. Just made a strawberry muffin and feeling a million times better about everything now.

Well Done.:D I am on day 3 and finding it hellish. But hoping that drop in tomorrow will inspire me.

Thanks Katie. I'm off to try the chocolate muffin recipie just now. Other half and I both have really bad colds, and have been in bed the past 2 days, which hasn't helped at all. I'm hoping things will be easier once I get to grips with it and figure out what flavours of things I do and don't...

Hey Everyone. I'm new. I've just found this forum through google, as I've just started Lighter Life and I'm really struggling. I'm on day 3 of Lighter Life. Day 1 was fine I ate 4 food packs and 3 1/2 litres of water. Day 2 I only managed to eat 2 food packs, and 2 litres of water. Today...
