I started back on LT today after a planned break for Xmas.. I started my last LT journey on 6 September 2010 weighing 229lbs (16st 5), and i ended 12 weeks later on 29 November 2010 weighing 178lbs (12st 10).. I lost 4lb every single week apart from week 1 (9lbs) and week 12 (2lbs because i stupidly ate the night before my weigh in).
I didn't do a diary 1st time round, but really wish i had so i could remember what times were the hardest, and what i struggled most with..
For anyone who reads this I will tell you a little about who i am (and it might help me later if i get a bit forgetful! lol)... I am a 42 year old married mum of 3... I have tried many diets and ways of losing weight over the years, but have never managed to keep it off... It doesn't help that i am really really lazy and do not do ANY exercise... Now i am that bit older i realise that this weight is not going to go away overnight (although it does come off very fast with LT) and as yet, no one has invented a pill that will make me a size 12 by tomorrow, so i need to get my act together and change my ways, not only for my sake, but for my wonderful (much younger! lol) husband and 3 kids too....
After Xmas Joe (hubby) went up in the loft to put away the tree and decorations, and found 3 great big bags of clothes from years ago.. They were all size 12 or 14 and i will be quite happy to get back to that size, whatever my weight is, as luckily i am quite tall.. I had to give some to the charity shop as i couldn't see myself in leather skirts or mini denim ones ever again!! lol
Today i officially started LT weighing 191lbs (13st 9) so i have put on 13lb, which i cannot say i am surprised about. My plan is to stay on LT as long as i can and lose at least 2st, and go to Weight Watchers (pro points)to lose the last bit, and that way i can learn portion control and healthy eating. I am hoping that doing it this way will help me maintain my losses.... My plan is flexible and may change as i go along, but the only thing i can guarantee is that i will do my very best to make sure i stick to LT to maximise my weight loss to start me off.
Please be warned-As well as keeping a log of my emotional, mental and physical well being, i will also be jotting down notes about how my bowels are coping!! lol
That's more than enough writing for today... I need to catch up on loads of posts as i have only been able to pop on quickly for the last few days... I really hope you are all doing well x x
