Hi There - I am Funky ( or I hope to be! lol ) and I am 38 years old. I have been overweight all of my adult life and I do not want to be fat at 40! I want the party of all parties and must be wearing the best frock of the night so I am hoping LL can help me acheive that! I have a very long journey to make and have looked into weight loss surgery which I am now on the waiting list for. I am hoping that LL will give me the results I need to live a happy and healthy life without the risk of surgery. So here goes .....................:)

Hi All

Well I am feeling sad today as my sister and her OH have gone back to London
That said I have a wonderful weekend with her. She noticed the difference in me straight away and kept hugging me all the time which was so lovely. She went back yesterday and has already booked another visit for October so hopefully she will see another difference in my appearance after another 2 months.
She left ...

Hi Guys

So it was week 7 weigh in last night and I lost 3 pounds. It is my lowest loss so far however I am having TOTM so I expected it to be lower so I was not dissapointed. As I have such a lot to lose I expect to have 5 -6 pound losses each week but I have to be realistic and appreciate tht my body will do what it wants!
Also I keep reminding myself 3 stone 4 pounds in 7 weeks would have taken mo...

Hi All

Well it has been a couple of weeks since I last blogged. Was stuggling a bit and kinda buried my head which I know is not the right thing to do as support on her is invaluable.
Anyway the good news is I have continued to lose - 5 pounds in wk5 and 6 pounds in week 6 so that bring me to 3 stone 1 pound in 6 weeks!
I am thrilled to say the least!
Had a busy couple of weeks at work and have been s...

What is wrong with me this week?! I have felt really low this week and cannot seem to pull myself out of it.
I am due for my week 5 weigh in tonight and normally I am excited but I cannot seem to get enthused about it. Is it normal to have moments like this?
Everything else in life at the mo is good so I do not know why I am feeling this negativity.
I think I am writing this to release some of my gru...

Hi All - It has been a while since I blogged as had my mum to stay for the weekend and then had a tough couple of days.
So last week was week 4 weigh in and measurements.
I managed to lose 4 pounds but the real buzz was the measurements!
I lost 2 inches of my bust, 3 off my hips and 4 inches off my waist! Even though I feel like I have lost the weight now it is nice to say out loud that the inches ar...

Hi All

Had a moment of frustration on Sunday - I worte a lengthy blog twice and each time I went to submit it the site crashed and did not save it! I nearly threw the pc out of the window! Grrrr! So I gave up and now have 10 mins before I leave work so thought I would do a quick update now.
The weekend was very productive - I usually dread them but I managed to sort one of my wardrobes ( yes plural ...

Omg I did it! 5 pounds off giving me 2 stone in 3 weeks! I never thought I could do this but now I am bright about the future and what it holds.
I am blessed to have a fantastic group and have made 2 great friends already that support me massively day to day. Coupled with the support on here I really feel lucky.
I have not told my brother and sisters I am doing this as I do not see them often and ...

Hi All - Well it is the day before 3rd week weigh in and I am feeling a bit apprehensive. I have stuck to plan 100% from the start but this week I have started my period and also struggled with my water and only done 3 ltres a day.
My company has bought out another company and I have moved offices and taken on new staff so I am in and out of meetings all the time and am forgetting to drink! Aaargh!...

Well it is the start of a new week and I am facing the same feelings that Mon/tues present. I have just been discussing this with a friend and she agrees. We get weighed on Thursdays so that evening and Friday we are on a high from our loss. Then the weekend comes so you spend time with friends and loved ones to fill the time. The new week starts and Wednesday is easy as we have the next days weig...

Well it has been a tough couple of days. For some reason I have felt hungry and prior to that I seemed to be ok. Met a pal after work on tues who gave me some lolly moulds so I made some with sparkling water and flavouring and they are great to nibble on at night! I was really bored at work yesterday and I have realised a link to alot of my unnecessary eating is boredom. Today I moved offices wher...

Hi All - Well I thought I would start a diary today as I am struggling . The sun is shining and I am stuck in the office looking at my pint of water and thinking about food!
The last few days I have been really positive but last night and today I have been obsessed with thoughts of food and I dont know why?
I lost a stone in my first week which I was thrilled about but this week is dragging and I ...
