Hello there! Welcome to my story...

I am 30 years old with a husband and 2 children, a 4 year old and a 1 year old. On my LL journey I will still be preparing meals for all of them which will be difficult but something I know I have to get used to.

My reasons for taking the LL route to my ideal weight:
1) My children - I need to be around for a long time
2) I need to have more energy to play and interact with my children - I want to take them swimming without feeling self-concious
3) I'm going on holiday to Florida in 6 weeks time and I want to be able to fit in the roller coaster seats next to my family
4) I want to be a better lover with more energy in bed - I want to feel sexy again
5) I want to feel good about myself again

My starting weight is 16st 8.5 lbs
My goal weight is 10st

And so it begins.....

I'm really very happy.

I've had a really good week and it has felt remarkably easy. I never thought it would feel so easy eating so little. Especially when I have been preparing my family's food and feeding my son, and making cakes. I really don't feel hungry which is great!

I went to my first weigh in tonight and I had lost 7 and a half pounds which I am really happy about! Now I can't wait to...

Ok, so I'll be honest, I am feeling a bit hungry at the moment, had my 'dinner' a bit later than normal (5.30ish instead of 4pm) so I have made my usual 8pm hot chocolate a bit later too to try to space it out. My tummy is rumbling but it doesn't really sound like a hungry rumble, more just a gurgling. Or maybe my body is hungry but my brain is saying no. Whichever it is is fine with me so long...

Another great day! I can't believe how not hungry I feel. I've noticed my tummy grumbling a couple of times but it didn't really feel like a hunger grumble... I just ignored it and carried on.

I thought today would be a lot harder as I've been helping with the refreshments at a Table Top sale, serving tea, coffee and cake!!!

Anyway I'm hoping for another good day tomorrow and the next day, and the...

* Day 2 [ Show blog ]
Today has been a good day. It started with nice runny porridge which was a vast improvement on yesterday!

I've come to realise that I'm having to really concentrate on not eating things by 'accident'. For instance when I'm preparing my children's and husband's food I've noticed that I would usually pick on bits of ham or mushroom or anything really. And when I'm feeding my baby and he leaves som...

* Day 1 [ Show blog ]
Over the past week since I went to the information session I've been quite excited about doing LL, and after a day on the programme I am still excited!

My day so far:

8am I had porridge. I thought LL was a bad idea. My porridge was lumpy and odd tasting. I thought I was going to be sick. I managed to eat it by not thinking about it, then I took my daughter to playgroup, came straight home and lo...
