Ok - here's me
I'm 50, gained 10 stone in the past 20 years and have probably lost AT LEAST that again in various diet attempts.
For me to date this is the most successful diet however have mega amounts to lose and actually want to keep the weight off so there's the magic word exercise.
I drive everywhere, walk minimum amounts and have a very active life playing mummy and chief house keeper and bottle washer. I also work and have 5 kids....so all in all not a very quiet life
On Thursday I have arranged to see a personal trainer - thats a lie I've actually paid for 8 weeks of training upfront as an incentive to make me do it and stick to it - others include the fact he's my next door neighbour and he's gorgeous (fortunately his taste is in my neighbour who is male.....)
However he is not happy with my dieting on a VLC and feels I will be weak and not able to follow the plan through lack of food/calorie intake. I've never dieted as sucessfully and I have oodles to lose so I'm not planning on stopping LT however I am having major concerns about exercising and whether people have found difficulty following the diet.
The reality for me is I have a problem with exercise due to my weight/size etc so the plan does take all that into account. Its just the trainer expressing his concerns are adding anxieties for me.
Anyone who has followed LT and started exercise whilst still big (I'm now 17 stone and have lost about 1/4 of what I want to lose) I'd love to hear from them
Sorry its rambling ! Thanks for getting to the end.
Love Julie
