Total Solution Diary of a desperate women

[marianne01]

I am a re-starter took a couple of months of due to illness and exams . Now I am back . I started a few months ago at over 20st lost 1 and a bit , put a bit on. Started last week 12/06/2012. I am currently after having a sneaky weight in today 18.5 stones . I am taking it one stone bracket at a time. I will post weekly weigh in on Tuesday's .

Why am I doing this , I can lie and say Health , or plan a special occasion but the true fact is I want to look nice , wear nice clothes , not have to go to the plus size part if the shop. I want my other half to look at me and actually see me. Take me out , tell me I look lovely or even beautiful. The most important thing maybe after 9 years propose. Being fat makes me miss out on all these things. Robs me of my confidence and makes me feel worthless.

So a little will power and exante might get me down to a healthy manageable weight. I will say 12st as a main target at the moment as I am tall at 5'7

My journey has begun

Hello, I'm a re-starter, too. I use this to motivate me. My first ever attempt at this diet was in July 2011. At that time, I was weak-willed and lacked determination. Eventually, after a few months trapped in a TS-binge cycle, I gave up. If I had been stronger then and seen it through, I would be skinny by now. Let's not let ourselves look back in a year and still be where we are now

I am another re-starter too!

I started last week and time has flown over and I am just starting week 2, 100% all the way!

I am the same as you in that if I had just stuck at it first time round, had a bit more will power, strength and determination, then I would have been at goal long before now. Still we live and learn and I am determind this time will be it!!

Good luck x

Thankyou guys ,

I am wishing for next Tuesday to arrive so I can see if I have lost more. I know I will not loose as much as the first week but hoping I will. I want to aim at 5lb so that will put me in the seventeens / this is my motivation at the moment.

re started on Monday. I have over 5 weeks of shakes from my last order. I think I have learned a great deal from my first attempt and have found ways to enjoy the shakes. And the BEST thing of all , is the folks on here always around when you need them most. You know the dark times when you want to give in but know in your heart your doing the correct thing by being on the diet. I know its not going to be an easy ride but I now know what to look for and if i need help I will be coming back here often. Good luck to you all and lets do this together.
