Here it is! This is the journey that I've been needing to go on but never really accepted that I need to do it! It's been two years since I started LL foundation and I need to get back on track to get the weight down and let the slim me out. I know she's in there because she looks at me every morning in the mirror and yearns to come out. She's on her way. I really need to let her come out as soon as possible. My life can't go on properly until I have given slim me a chance to come out. I need to be honest with myself and let me have the best rest of my life! I need this and now is the time for me to do it. So here goes! Week 1: 17st 6 Week 2: 16st 10 (-10) Week 3: 16st 5 (-5)(*) Week 4: 16st 1 (-4) Week 5: 16st 2 (+1):( Week 6: 15 st 12 (-5):D Week 7: 15st 6 (-6):)) Week 8: 15st 3 (-3):D Week 9: 14st 13 (-4):-* Week 10:14st11 (-3);)

It's been a food day! And not even a healthy food day! I lapsed and I feel yuck and down and really need to get back on track. Compliments are starting to come but I need to listen to them and take them all in and savour them and realize why people are saying what they are so that I can motivate myself and keep going. I can't sabbotage it all now as I have done so well.
But my head today was taken ...

I saw 14 13 this evening at weigh-in. Fab! That next stone down is always so difficult to get to when it happens soooo slowly! But this is fab.
I'm a bit anticlimatic as I'm tired and need to go to bed! I was a silly girls eating a bit of an Indian Meal with my family all because of Mothers day and a friends calls while eating and I was on the phone for the meal! My kids then went to bed and it was...

I also nood to drink more as movements a little scarce over the past few days! I'm a little an...

Hey all. Another two days gone since the news and everyday has just piled one thing after the next on top of me! Work has not been great at all. But I have managed to wade through the hurdles without eating. Those golden gates did call me once or twice but I just looked the other way.
Not feeling great this evening. Daughter has chickenpox and I have a pile of work to do but I didn't eat. actually ...

Just been told by my councillor tonight that she's finishing! We are all devestated! I'm particulary devestaed as I have made such an effort this time and was soo determined to see it through! I know that it shouldn't mean the end of the world but it feels like it as it's a huge effort that is paying aoff and I don't want something like this to sabotage the rest of my weight-loss.

My 3 lbs loss ton...

Today was enjoying spending birthday vouchers day and getting a nice suprise that I needed to buy a size smaller! But what is wrong with me? I should be elated and happy! Instead I feel down, angry and frustrated!!!! It might be because I have a do on tonight and I would like a drink but I'm weighing in tomorrow night! Oh I feel so pathetic and silly and should be really on top of the world, but ...

Friday night and ready for bed! It's been one of those weeks where it hasn't stopped. It's been a long week as well! I have had a few blips this week but planned ones. Happy that my son won first prize on Monday with a poem to celebrate St. David's day and of course my non-birthday! Had lovely non-edible pressies that made it fab!
I won't see a loss this week even though I've had 5 abstinent days, ...

Had a good week this week but amazingly for some reason I lost a whopping three pounds in a day and regained it back the next! I'm wondering if my scales were playing games but it was really heartening to see the loss and really gutting to see it back on again!
Anyway, it's Friday and international weekend here and of course St. David's day on Monday. I'm hoping that I can last til Sunday without ...

Hubby away tonight in Darlinghton for some meeting tomrorrw. Oh what I would be doing in the past when he was asay! It was definatley the cat and mouse story! I would be in that fridge making a meal fit for a whole family just for me and i would get exctied about it all. It was only food woman!
Now, today? Kids just off to bed and I'm contemplating my day tomorrow at work. Need to mark a few book...

Hey all. Weigh in tonight revealed a loss of 4 lbs which means that I'm down under 16 stone again - my dreaded threshold! Qiuck one this evening as I hav a mound to do before tomorrow morning and back to school! Feeling fab and dandy and ready for another week. It's my nonbirthday next weekend as (my online name suggests!) i'm a 29th of Feb girl and will be 9 and a half this year! I wish I aged 4 ...

It's been a good week and Im amazed I made it through that weekend last week! I'm awaiting my hubby home from the supermarket - it helps so much that he does the weekly shop as I would be smelling the bread and porbably givin gin to my demons again!
I have two birthdays tomorrow, my mum's and my nephew and we're off out for a meal and the kids are playing in a play center thingy. Going to be good. ...

I suppose as a teacher half term would normally be a binge fest! I would plan my days around meals and mke sure that I would be within food's reach at all mealtimes...and other times too! This half term is different. Suddenly I have had to think about tasks that I wnat to get done in a day and organize myself around these tasks! Food is secondary and I really want to keep that feeling as it makes ...

I'm stressed with work as a colleague insists on doing things very last minute and I can't handle it! I have a deadline given his evening at 7pm of 11am for a piece of work that I will never get done in time as I have so many other things to do. Have eaten tonight and I am very annoyed. Need to face this colleague tomorrow and speak my mind.X(

Can't beleive I did what I did tonight! I ate after weigh-in! And not just anything but I headed to the local KFC and ate a 3 piece meal, fries (which I don't like anyway) and a diet cola and an icecream! Why ohhhhhh why!!!!??? This is exactly the type of behaviour that I want to avoid and want to leave behind me! My hubby has said to me this evening to leave cash behind whenever I go out and I t...

Yes, Iam very annoyed with myself as I can't get this food thing out of my mind today! I want to eat! I was upset after a chat this morning with a person in church and came home ready to raid the cooked chicken that the rest of the family were having for lunch! I did eat a bit of the white meat and I'm really unhappy with myself for it! And yet I just don't understand why I'm so hung up on it all...

Yes, I made it through a very painful Friday night of wanting to jump on anything that looked like food! I cooked tea for my kids, fishfingers and smiley faces - Friday night is their choice! WOuld have been mine easily too. Took my middle cjild to Frankie and Benny's for a party. COuldn't stay there more than 10 minutes as the smell and thought of the food they sell made me want to stay with them...

Tried the mousse this week and I'm having a big problem getting the soups and shakes down! I seem only able to eat the peanut fudge! Yum! Need to improve water consumption as well as I am suffering dowm below! Will have to go down the dulcolax r...

I wonder how I have existed these last 37 years and not realized how much food and food realted things influences me! I was so looking frward o not thinking about foof today 9a Saturday). Managed the cinema with a bar an a litre of water. Oh yes, Ben and Jerry's was really calling out to me in the corner and even bough my boys two huge hot dogs - I think I need to watch I don't feed them the food ...

I've had the worst day at school (I'm a teacher!)! But it's all down to my attitude with food! It controls me soooomuch! Normally, on a day like this a ton of food would have past my lips as I just can't stand incontrolable situations without food to get me thorough it! How daft is that! I had two girls fighting in my classroom today and that has been quite dominant in the way the day has gone. Bu...

Great to be back in the group again and it seems this one is good! i really want to fit into that beautiful velvet coat by my birthday - oh what a treat it would be!

Hey all, just to report that I made the two stone mark this evening. Pretty good for me really and an absolutely great feeling! The only thing is I have just eaten a whole Chicken korma and yes my belly is aching! I had this idea that I can eat after weigh in and not feel the adverse affects! how wrong was I But I won't learn my lesson as I'll pobably go down this route again next week and the wee...

Sun is out today and I'm feeling great even though I'm not doing well on the water front at the moment! I did lapse over the weekend and i took an adult decision to eat at my daughter's 4th birthday party. I enjoyed it and did'nt regret it. This is what I'm not doing any more is regretting decisions i make. i think hard first then decide rhather than thinking after the third twirl has hit my stoma...

Woke up this morning early as I had loads to do and found it much easier! That aspect of Lighter Life is one that I don't want to get rid of! Within days, I feel i need less sleep and the sleep I get is often better than my "FAT" sleep as i call it! I lost a whopping 11 pounds last night and I'm very proud of the fact that I managed to keep away from the 2 pork chops that were over from Sunday di...

Hey friends! i really need this forum! I did ll last year and lost 5 stones and then it all crept back slowly but suerly! And so I come to take two! I just hope and pray that this time I will make it stay off as I really don't want to be like t his any more! I wrote a diary to help me through and it does work as you keep track. I think that I must accept that in order for me to enjoy thin-ness I h...
