Starting LT at last!!!

[Dumpy2Petite]

At last - I have finally been to the chemist and got my first LT pack!!! Wooooo!!! arty0049:

I've been waiting weeks for today to come around, as I have booked time off from work so I won't be surrounded by nasty temptations during those crucial first few days! And also so I can be a grumpy, headachy cow on my own without inflicting it on my colleagues!

So I start tomorrow... I am v excited (and a bit apprehensive!). I was shocked at the initial weigh-in though - I'm now 11 stone 13 lbs - the heaviest I have EVER been!

I've got 5 stone to lose to get down to just under 7 stone (6 stone 13 will give me a BMI of 21.7). I can hardly believe I'll really get there... I have tried so many diets, only to plateau so soon - even before losing a stone - and ending up giving up. I have an under-active thyroid so losing any weight in the past has been almost impossible.

BUT... thanks to all of your fantastic successes on here, I am beginning to entertain the thought that maybe, just maybe, this time I'll get there. LT may just be the diet I have needed all these years! I am determined to give it a damn good shot anyway and will stick to it like glue!

And I know where to come if I need inspiration, advice, or even a good solid kick up the bum! So I've got no excuses this time!!!

Wish me luck! xxx

hi and welcome to LT you sound as though you're really focused so good luck for tomorrow and make sure to drink plenty of water throughout for great weight loses.

 

[Dumpy2Petite]

Thanks guys! :thankyou:

It's scary that I've got so far to go - my BMI has gone up to 37, which is only 3 away from morbidly obese (40)! Apparently I'm "super obese" - oooh lucky me!

So I really need to get this sorted - NOW!

 

[misscheeky]

Hiya Gem!

I'm only 4" 8' m8 - I'm a piskie!

Which is why being 5 stone overweight is so scary - all that on my little frame! It's gotta go! Just think, if I can get there I'll have nearly halved my weight!!!

My ticker says I've got 67lbs to lose, but actually it's 70 - it won't let you put in any weight under 100 lbs (7stone 2lbs). Although it'll be a bloody miracle just to get to that!
