I am thinking of joining a local LL group in January and just wanted to say hello and express a few thoughts (fears) that I'm having.
Firstly a bit of history.
I originally did LL back in 2006 starting in January I lost 6 stone in 6 months. I felt fantastic and being slim for the first time in my adult life was fantastic. However just before I got to goal I decided to upsticks and move from Edinburgh back to my native Wales, where there unfortunately wasn't an LL Group. I went into Management (before the days of RTM) a bit earlier than I would have liked in order to reintroduce food before I left but unfortunately left to my own devices I truly went off the rails and over the course of the last 2 and 1/2 years have put a substantial amount back on.
I have tried CD, WW and SW in the intervening years but to no avail but a fellow Miniminer recently mentioned that there was a new LLC about 20 miles from me and I am considering rejoining.
Having failed miserably on CD more than once recently I am wondering whether I can ever stick to packs as well as I did first time around. Back then I was 100% for the full 6 months - I never cheated once - the prize was just too precious!
But I missed having the group counselling and support and wonder whether this could be the difference to keep me on track now. I feel like I didn't complete the journey properly last time.
So here I am just contemplating and saying hello
