20th January 2009
Hey I'm katy and i weigh 21 stone 6 pounds.
(i've never actually said that out loud before, let alone write it down!!!)
2009 is gonna be my year. The excuses end now. I have completely lost my way with food and things have got out of control, lighterlife is gonna help me change this.
Always grateful for advice and support,
katy xx

30th July 2009
Well i've lost 7 stone 7 pounds so far and feel great!!
I decided at the start to allow myself 9 months to lose 10 stone. Why 9 months?, well i'm a midwife by trade and if someone can grow a human in that amount of time i can lose my excess body weight and be reborn too!!
Well i completed foundation and have done 14 weeks of developers, so i'm now in my 3rd trimester!!. So hopefully this is my final 14 weeks, hope i'm reborn prematurely!! lol

* Another day bites the dust...... [ Show blog ]
Hello LL’fers!!!

Hope everyone had a great day.

Another good day (sorry to all the other newbie’s – feels like I’m rubbing it in)
No problems at all really, feel a little peckish when my pack is due but couldn’t call it hunger. I must admit I do feel very lucky, I was well prepared for these first few days to be torture, but in all honesty my body doesn’t seem to have noticed the chan...

Howdy doody!

Day 2 in LL land and all is looking good.
A day off work, slept in until 1pm, and remained in my PJ’s all day!!
Ain’t done anything except watch DVD’s and lay about…..HEAVEN!!
The only thing missing was the enormous take away!! But strangely enough I didn’t actually miss IT just its presence (if that makes any sense!)


Oh and something I wasn’t prepared for was all the b...

Hello LL’fers!!

Well day one is almost over, and I am pleased to report that it was fine!!
Hoping that this remains the case, but understand that most struggle with day three?!

Had my first shake at 9am - Banana not bad at all!

Had a very busy day at work, promised myself that I would make myself stop and quickly gulp down shake number two but it didn’t happen. Sodding NHS!!

* Blast off!! [ Show blog ]
Hiya!

I had my first meeting tonight!
It went quite well once we warmed up, we just sat there in silence for the first 20 minutes!
My prediction was right I was the biggest woman there, oh well!
Our counsellor is lovely, got on with her straight away, has a great sense of humour, which i believe aids the development of any relationship.

One woman made me laugh, she was telling the rest of u...

* Thank you.... [ Show blog ]
Thank you all so much for all your kind messages, I got rather tearful reading them to be honest.
The only person I speak to about my struggle with my weight is my dear mum. The only person I trust to not look at me with the “why don’t you do something about it” stare, which incidentally only comes from people who have never had weight or food issues.
So thank you for not judging me, and I r...

* The truth is hard to swallow...... [ Show blog ]
Had the worst day at work today.............................

Had to go on a home visit to see a new mum and her beautiful new baby daughter. So i rang the doorbell, her husband answered the front door and looked at me like i was something he had just stepped in. He then proceeded to open the porch door.................
To my horror he opened both porch doors as though accepting the delivery of a new...

* My name's Katy and i'm a foodoholic! [ Show blog ]
Hey peeps,

It just occurred to me that I have told you absolutely nothing about me. After reading all your blogs it feels like I know you all, so I think it’s only proper to reciprocate!

Friends call me Kate; others call me worse…hehehe
I often make stupid jokes that nobody else finds funny!

I’m nearing 30, born and bred eastender and far too common!
I, like many others on this site, am employe...

The world seems like such a better place in the LL site world!
Like a little bubble of support and friendliness.

Feel like a bit of a nosy cow though, reading everyones blogs, when i havent started LL yet (start on tues). But you can't buy support like this!! Everyone has been fab and so welcoming.

Well i'm addicted to the site hopefully the same will happen with the plan!
