thanks BL and IWGT.
This weeks target is to try and get to that -3stone mark. 3lb to go.
I am seriously pleased with my BP, my health is my driver, not my image. So seeing that affirms this is working. I was scared that my health was not going to change and that my BP was stress or genetic as parents, grandparents all have/had high BP....but then again they were all overweight.
Looking forward to my BP heading towards the mid range instead of the high end of normal.
I am really hoping that I can keep this up as I feel great, weight loss starting to show, no temptation, just getting on with it only problem is I am dreading the prospect of adverse effects such as gall stones. So far, so good so lets keep fingers crossed.
I have a new time target for my losses now...... before Jan 4th. I am not paying an extra 2.5% in VAT for my packs. (Cheers George.). I hope by then I will be well in maintainance.
have a good day from smiley flexiblefish...the sun helps to.

Excellent Flexi and IWGT.
Lovely to read your positive posts.
Flexi I also decided to do LL to help my health. I kept getting chest infections, bronchitis and even pneumonia which just wouldn't shift with anti biotics and steroids.I also had plantar fasciitis in my right foot (very painful) and fairly high blood pressure. All gone now.It's like miracle for me.
I am sure it will work for you too. You have the right attitude.

Just got in from a cycle and I am having awful stomach cramps. Dunno if its because I had a bit too much tabasco in my chilli tonight (no more than usual), or getting used to the water flavouring or that I ate a bar about an hour after my chilli.
really gurgling and feels rough...almost like when you have too much coffee in an afternoon (anyone else ever had that)
any ideas what might be causing it and has anyone else had similar after doing any of the above?

I am thinking it was just tiredness.
Got up this morning feeling fine. Been waking at 6am and going bed at 1am. Guess it finally caught up with me as I had a lie in til 9 and feel fine.
Ill be honest, I feel great though after sleeping, certainly needing less sleep and getting better sleep. Maybe I am just so shattered with the reduced carb in take that the pillow is welcomed. Maybe I am breathing better at night. Whatever the last 8 weeks so far has changed so many aspects of my life.
I am even thinking of applying for a new job because my outlook has changed so much.
Shame LL cant sort out my debt troubles otherwise it would truly be a phenominal scheme

That must be brilliant. Well you are a over a quarter the person you used to be.
It is amazing just how weight has inhibited and made us feel low and also how we interact with others.
As I say I am more shy than proud when someone notices..but I can imagine it being a spur for many people. Really nice that the OH is supportive. Mine is slim and this week I have beens sent out for take away, Ben & Jerrys, big bags of crisps. She doesnt ever put on weight, but then again she works on her feet all day, running about and has a physically active job. Still she doesnt seem to realise how unsuportive these errands are...I am to soft to say no. She did say the other day that I look like a tramp with my huge trousers balloning at the waiste and over the thighs, having to be done up with a built that I put extra skraggy holes in with a screw driver. and my shirts and jumpers are looking really baggy.....I will have to buy new clothes but not til I am done. So from this time last year I have lost about 5 stone and I am still wearing the same clothes...its no surprise I look scruffy. dreading going to a wedding in a few weeks as the suite I have will bury me. Screw it, it feels nice knowing that this is working:8855:
IWGT can I ask what size you are down to now.

Hey Flex. I laughed so hard reading your last post about the huge clothes and the belt made smaller with a screwdriver. I love it :8855:. I get very embarassed if anyone asks me about my weight loss too but to be honest only one person in work has said to me that i am loosing. Cant really understand how nobody else notices and I have changed sooooooo much.
Course i dont mind you asking about my size. I was a size 28 and am now a 16 on top and 14 on bottom. Am getting there.
OMG i went to a Body Pump class last nite. Loved loved loved it. Felt brilliant this morning when i got up but as the day goes on every part of me is aching lol...... I ache in places i didnt know i had. Only lost 2.5lb last night but am happy enough. Every lb off takes me closer to my goal.
SB - yea it is amazing how we all seem to be discovering these little things about ourselves. I think it is amazing and I also think we are all pretty bloody amazing too :8855: x
Zez thanks for your kind words

well that is 8 weeks on this and I have lost 1lb short of 3stone. I can not believe the rate at which I am loosing.
I am so happy just now, this sounds really soft but I almost cried when I was told that I had lost 6lb today. I have been fat all my life and I am almost so very close to being classed as overweight instead of obese. During my entire life until I was 21 I was a stone for each year of my life. I tried doing something about it after uni and got down to about 16stone. then my dad died and instead of thinking I should behave otherwise I will die at 50 like him, I ate and drank....now I am down to what I was when he died. I will never look back.
LL is boring and mundane and bland but it works. I can not wait to be a normal human being who is more content with themselves.
Thank you to all of you wonderful people out there in cyberland who have helped me and kept me supported. Just your encouragement, your successes have kept me going.
How silly, Ive a lump in my throat right now.
Thank you all.

Isnt it such a pity we all live so far apart or we could all meet up for support. I dont think I have spoken to anyone else on here from Northern Ireland
Well done on the huge belts Daz and Flex. I havent worn a belt for about 10 years.
Flex next week you are going to do it - you are going to be overweight and not obese. I have faith in you

Wit whoo at Daz. Well done - you show them girl.
I wore my 4" Shoes today. Used to wear really high heels but in the end didnt feel comfortable in them any more cos of my weight. Anyway i wore my heels today, my size 14 trousers and shirt and 3 people in worked stopped me to say how have they not noticed how much weight i have lost. It felt sooooooooooo good and makes this all worthwhile x

The sad thing is i see them looking me up and down from across the office. You know like when you turn around unexpectedly and they turn away - too quickly lol. Yet they obviously feel they cant say anything.. Sad really isnt it

Lovely post I will get there. I'm also loving wearing heels again. I had thought those days were over.
And we all know they make your legs look longer, you look slimmer and feel sexy.
Win Win !!
