Hi all, I don't know if any of the old hands remember me, I did LL last year, reaching my target the week before Xmas. I didn't do RTM but took things easy and didn't go mental over the xmas period. I also pretty much dropped off the forum completely - for that I apologize girls as the support I got on here was invaluable at the time.
Almost a year on I am still within a few lbs of my finish weight. I have gone up a few and down a few. If i have had a lot on and simply been living the good life too heartily my weight can creep up pretty quickly, but without stressing about it I don't let it get too far and cut back for a few weeks to get back into me 'box'.
Losing 3 and a half stones has changed my life. My new regime involves walking the dog twice a day at least every day without fail, I keep a food diary which along with the exercise really helps me to maintain a healthy weight.
I turned 40 back in Feb, which was my original motivation to lose the weight and I can safely say that so far I am loving my 40's!
Along with my best friend I completed the Edinburgh Moonwalk Marathon in June in 6 and a half hours. We then went on to climb Ben Nevis is August, I could not have done anything like these things a year and three and a half stone heavier ago.
I just thought that my story might help the fantastic peeps who are currently going through their LL journey, this is just the beginning for you. Life is out there in all it's glory waiting to welcome the lighter you!
Lots of love
