Hi all - I'm new to this site and just wanted to introduce myself
I'm on week 3 day 5 - down from 235 to 217 as of last monday weigh in. I'm mostly finding the diet boring, and trying to find/do things to distract myself. Everytime I feel like quitting I just remind myself how I felt about myself before I started. I'm 6 foot tall and was just short of 17 stone - I avoided mirrors, wore very baggy cheap jumpers from Tescos (tended to be the same one as I kept telling myself I won't buy any clothes because I wont be this size for much longer... I was wearing those clothes for the last 5 years.
My goal is to get back into my size 14 clothes that are so very carefully folded under my bed. I'm heartsickingingly (made up word but true) tired of feeling like a hulking, dowdy, frumpy woman. My goal is to reset my lifestyle by getting to my goal weight - and going from there. I don't believe LT will fix my life, but I really do believe it will kickstart me into a lifestyle change - letting out the active, sexy, fit woman inside
I just wanted to say how glad this site is here - I really need the support. Roll on next Monday!
