Hi all,
Figured it had been a fair while since my last update, hope everyone is doing well, i've been popping in and out of the forums to try to keep up with everyone.
I'm pretty much keeping my weight steady. I do go off track every now and then and I had a really 'naughty' few days the other week where I went into binge mode for no apparent reason, but weighing myself and seeing the scales move up...

Hi all!
Sorry it has been a fair old while since my last update. I'm off lighterlife now, with all the problems with my back I've had to return to normal food as the painkillers were causing me stomach problems without 'real' food to line my stomach with when taking them.
I'm maintaining well, the odd pound gained but then lost again so normal human fluctuations. I'm still going to do pop in weigh i...

Feels like ages since I last posted. At WI last Wednesday I had a gain of 1.1lbs which I was quite happy with given that I'd not excercised at all with my back injury, I felt I needed a gain to show me how important excercise is to maintaining. Does that sound odd??

Wednesday already, time is just flying by.
It's WI tonight, I'm prepared for (and quite happy to get) a bit of a gain as i've got off track with RTM a couple of times this week due to no 'allowed list' options being to hand, but being 5lbs under my goal weight I'm quite happy to put a couple back on.

What a weekend! I feel so destressed about the hell I had with work last week, a weekend of dancing is just what I needed!
The street demo on Saturday was good fun, but very cold and wet but that didn't stop us! And seeing the Jive aces on Sunday was great fun, there are a couple of videos of me dancing with my OH and our friend on facebook if anyone is interested, i'm not sure the links will work ...

A mood emicon of sleepy doesn't cover it... exhausted/shattered/a zombie might be closer! Maybe I'll settle for going insane 
WI last night and lost another 2.4lbs even with my blip the other day of going off plan. Think its the stress of work. Started at 7am yesterday and didn't finish till after midnight. It's a really endurance test both mentally and physically, I ache all over

Hi all,
Last day of week 3 RTM today.
I think I went a bit off track yesterday. Nothing that wasn't listed as an ok food to have for week 3 but quantity wise I seemed to go a bit overboard. I don't know if it was comfort eating or a real need (there is the saying to feed a cold) and as much as I think about it I can't work out which it is, but I seemed to want to do nothing but eat from dawn to dusk...

Hi all!
WI last night and lost another 3lbs... hopefully that's the end of my losses now!! I started LL with the aim of getting to around 11st 3lbs, then moved the goal posts to being happy anywhere between 10st 6lbs and 11st. Now I weigh in at 10st 3.7lbs and that's fully clothed in the evening, that's the lightest I've ever been as an adult!

Please excuse my bill and ted's reference in my diary subject... I know it ages me!! 
WI last night, as expected it was my slow week. Only a 1.7lb loss. But only 13.3lbs to go so as long as things pick up again I may just do it in my last 4 weeks of foundation, I only need to average just over 3lb a week to get to my goal on week 14 and my average to date has been 4lbs a week.

10th WI coming up tonight! As always both nervous and excited... with an undertone of sleepy Going by my pattern of losses so far I think I'm due a slower loss week this week so will be happy with 2lbs, but not shocked if it is slightly less than even that.

Still aching like mad today, dancing on pulled muscles last night was really not pleasant and getting out of bed this morning was no easy job. Keep telling myself that this pain just means my muscles are re-forming to be stronger and healther so I'm going to look more toned and slim so it will be worth it
But I'm also going to be doubling my warm up stretches in the hope of not being in quite s... Comments
Monday again already, I don't know where these weekends disappear!

9th WI tonight!! Usual mix of excitement and nervousness to deal with all day in anticipation. Although I don't know why I get like that as by this point I know the diet works and even if I have a low loss it will be made up for the following week, so it doesn't really matter what my result is for the week, but I still can't stop getting jittery waiting for it!!

Double whammy today - last day of work for the week and WI tonight
I know my LLC said not to expect a big loss this week as apparently you lose weight slower if you are run down, but I can't help hoping for at least 3lbs... although think i'll be ok with 2lbs, any less than that and I may have a bit of a tantrum!!

I thought I'd use this blog to say a bit about dancing as I've mentioned that it is my main reason and motivation for losing so much weight, and a couple of people have asked what the hell it is!

My favourite style is Lindy Hop which is a partn...
