Lots to Lose Lea !

[PinkSnowball]

Hi I'm Lea,

I'm 30 , I've been on lots of diets over the years , none have had a long lasting success

I am around 26lb 6oz or 169kg

Weekly weigh ins won't work for me as I have lipoedema and lymphodema in my arms and legs are often very swollen and sore till I have my MLD or kinesio tape.
So I think I'm going to stick with monthly weigh ins at a time my arms and legs are average.

I'm renewing my vows in January so any loss before then thats fabulous, but I'm in it for the long haul!

I will do it this time !!!!
Looking for buddies with similar weights to me,

I'm doing SW and Orlistat xxx

Definitely! After 30 years of yo-yo dieting, I've now lost 122lbs on a combination of calorie counting and Orlistat, and I credit this forum in no small part for helping keep me motivated, so I really recommend it. xx

Hi Lea

You are definately in the right place!

I too was around you weight, in fact, a good few stone higher!.. But now Ive lost over 8 stone, and I do actually have to say that alot of it is due to the support and smiles that I have received on this site.

I am using the Paul McKenna Hypnotic Gastic Band book and cd.. and although I know it doesnt work for a lot of people, it seems to be working for me x

I still have a way to go.. but definately I am on the right path.

I wish you all the luck in the world, and just make little goals to aim for, and dont forget a nice reward for yourself once you reach them!(and i dont mean cake)..

Take care Lea xxxx

 

[PinkSnowball]

Ooh Paul McKenna ! I'd always wondered if that would work for me ? The hypnotherapy part xx

 

[PinkSnowball]

First weigh in today and I lost 7.5lb !!!!!


I'm over the moon !! :-D
