In 2005 I lost 7.5 stones on LL and CD, took a year off due to family ill health, including my own, and gained very nearly 2 stones, restarted LL in the New Year (for the third time) and decided I just couldn't do it again...so am now on WW.
My first target is 13.02 which is what I was when I stopped LL in 2005...I have a truly expensive pair of designer sunglasses waiting to be bought when I do reach this goal!
I started WW on Wednesday and weighed in as 14.9 and am far too nervous to get on the scales until Wednesday in case I've gained after being on LL.
Am getting more control over my points (22) and didn't realise I had bonus points for exercising, so got an additional 2.5 yesterday for doing a 2 mile walk, but need these as I'm trying to save 10 points for 2 fairy cakes on my daughters birthday next Friday!
I'm on day 3 and am getting better; had 1 shredded wheat with sugar and 1 with Canderel spoonful and have decided I could manage the Canderel from now on, so saved myself 1 point already
My body isn't quite sure how to cope with fresh fruit and veg since LL and is trying to get rid of the food as fast as I'm putting it in, but I'm assuming this is just my body panicking and hopefully it will all calm down soon.
I'm trying to decide if I can get fit for a half marathon this year and then do a full marathon next year, probably the Moonwalk, which is hysterical as I absolutely hate walking, but I love trekking and i think if I do it for a goal rather than to lose calories it may be different...lets see if I change my mind in a week or so.
I've just made a WW soup from scratch but think it must be far easier and probably cheaper just to buy a tin!
Had a chicken lasagne last night which was delish so am hopeful on the ready meals when I don't have time to cook.
Have enjoyed a humous roll and salad today and steak is on the menu for tonight... assuming my poor baby goes to sleep tonight when planned as she's not well and last night was spent at the hospital.
Fingers crossed that I get through the weekend all right as I'm on my own with my daughter, and when she's not well, the food normally calls...have a stack of WW toffee bars though so hopefully they'll see me through.
Hope everyone else is doing well.
