OMG! Just checked my BMI and in less than 2 weeks it's gone from 37 to 34.9!!

That makes me possibly even happier than the weight loss (well, nearly) - so pleased to be getting healthier

[BigBird77]

Morning all,

Well I lost 5lbs on Tuesday taking me down to 11st11lbs and I have now gone into maintaince...yipppppeeeee.

How's everyone else doing?

[CazF]

Doing ok over here, hit the stone mark at my 2 week weigh-in so was pretty pleased with that. Another lb gone today, next weigh in is a day early, Wed this week instead of Thurs.... so we'll see!

Well done on going into maintainance!! You'll have to tell us how it all works

Hello Ladies

Sorry I went quite for a while I was off work spending most of the week painting and doing DIY in the house....don't think it qualifies as a holiday though!

So Caz you are doing amazingly - WELL DONE - such a fantastic start!

BigBird - since joiniing this discussion board you have been my inspiration and motivation and I am so pleased that you have got to goal and going on maintenance - SUPERB!

Well I have lost a total of 40lbs and have weigh-in tonight so fingers crossed for a 2lb loss so that I can claim a full 3 stone loss!! I have to say in the last 10 days I am felling so much better about myself and body, I have a spring back in my step

I have spoken with my counsellor and decided to extend my program until the 30th of November and that way I will be at a nice weight (if I keep losing at the rate I have averaged at over the last few days) and by hitting that weight I will finally be at weight I haven't been for 10 years and lighter than my man!!!

Good luck for this weeks weigh-ins and good luck bigbird on your maintenance.

Morning Ladies,

Had my first weigh in since starting maintaince and lost another 4lbs!!! Its crazy I thought I would loose a lb at the most.

So how is everyone else doing?

[Bexstar]

Hi Bigbird...That is amazing on maintenance and lose!!!!!!! so what delights can we look forward to in maintenance??

[Bexstar]

Morning Ladies

Hope you are all well?

so I have 5 weeks left and I want to lose 27lbs!!! meaning I need to average 5.4lbs a week.....maybe a bit too ambitious here but the closer I get to it the better I will feel - I feel SOOOOO much better having shed 3 stone anyway

If I may aska personal question - to those that have lost a fair bit of weight - how is your skin? has it kept in-line with the new you or is it feeling a bit loose? just asking as I think I should start proper exercise as mine isn't bagging by anymeans but after been large for so many years I am really worried about it and maybe a bit of muscle tone will help? Any experiences or suggestions are very welcome.

Have a good week and fingers crossed for weigh-ins!

Sorry, have been away, and I confess I came off LL for a couple of days. Have my weigh in tomorrow night so will see what damage has been done. Tried to make good choices at least but five days with a very nervy worrying mother in law - she'd have had me committed if I hadn't eaten a meal in that time!!

Anyway. We shall see tomorrow. Am on, too, so guessing it won't be brilliant but we'll see!

Hi Caz

So how did you get on in weigh-in? hopefully all was ok and not too much damage was done?! I think the majority of people have a wobble especially when it comes down to peer pressure - that's the worst kind of pressure!

As long as you get back on it I am sure any slow down in the weight loss will be in the past and you'll see it dropping at the fast rate as before....maybe not quite as much as your first week as that must have been a record breaker!!!

How's maintenance bigbird????

Weigh-in tomorrow so looking forward to it and keeping fingers crossed!

Let me know how you are all doing!

xx

[CazF]

Hello!

Stayed the same last week, but as I was "on" and hadn't done LL for a few days wasn't too upset by that. Now back on it, was really hungry this afternoon but hung on.... so we'll see this week!

BB, tell us more about management!

[Bexstar]

Hiya!

So no weightloss after being at Mum in laws is pretty good I think...no gain that's even better!

Weigh-in went well for me another 3.3lbs gone. I am really quite amazed how quickly this weight has come off and I am now into week 13 of the program - 3 more pounds and I have lost 4 stone in 14 weeks!! quite incredible!

I decided last month to extend my program by 2 weeks as I wanted to lose 4 stone, so now I want to lose another 1/2 stone. I am not skinny but I am looking and feeling so much better. However slightly nervous about eating real food again!

Keep up the good work everyone!

[CazF]

I'm glad you're still keeping me company Bexstar!

"Only" 2lbs this week. Was really hoping for 3 as then it would be a stone and a half but never mind. It will just make next week's loss even better, right??

You're doing amazingly

[Bexstar]

Hiya Caz

So 2 pounds better than nothing and next week should show a greater loss! And plus you have been doing LL for a short time really so 1.5 stone is excellent.

Have a good weekend

Bex

[CazF]

How was your weekend?

I'm feeling quite low at the moment and it's hard not to comfort eat.... I know this is all part of learning our new way of life etc but it's hard...

[Bexstar]

Hiya Caz don't feel low just think how wonderful you are looking with the fab weight loss already and how great you will look with more gone! I know it's hard I have been so strong for all of my LL time except this weekend just gone when I could have murdered some food and a glass of wine! It was tough but I resisted!

Weigh in tonight so fingers crossed.
