FAO Leesy!

Blonde Logic

Yes. You can.
Hi Leesy

It just dawned on me, you have lost the same amount I intend to lose....so, seeing as you are now a goal reaching champion...:D...can I ask you how long it took, and did you abstain all the way through or were there some wobbles? And did you do a lot of exercies along the way?

I know we are all different, but it will give me some idea of what I might realistically be looking at!:eek:

Thanks, and once again - you are a STAR for reaching goal!! :)
 
Hey BL - pleasure to help!

I started foundation on 16th May 07, and followed the plan religiously until christmas, when I took a couple of days off before returning for a week of abstinence before RtM. So i lost the weight in about 7 and a half months altogether.

I didn't do a great deal of exercise, but tried to do my steps, and did the odd bit of running etc. Nothing structured or regular though to be honest.

Hope this helps - and congrats on your weight losses so far - you are going great guns. Keep it up and you will be done before you know it,

Oh thanks Leesy - that gives me a lot of encouragement!!! I was hoping it would be about that long!! And at the moment, I intend to be 100%. Time will tell, but unless something goes horribly wrong, come hell or highwater, thats my plan.

I must confess, when I saw your before and after photos,a couple of weeks ago, I had quite an emotional response....I just saw this new woman, who could no doubt move easier, looked a different person...I can't explain it very well.....but I know we suffer with all this weight,physically, and I guess I felt "I know what she felt like.....and what she must feel like no must be like being reborn!" - something like that. Does that make any sense at all?? LOL (it does to us - that's me and the voices in my head!! :D)

So, you're an inspiration lady!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks BL - trust me you too are extremely inspiring to everyone on here. You give great advice and support to everyone, and you are doing so well in your journey!

I do indeed feel like a completely new woman, it has changed my life, and will do the same for you I am sure. You are so committed to this, and I think - like me when I started - you have decided now is the time to make that difference in your life.

When I think about it, it has been such a short period in my life to turn everything around. When I first decided to do LL I worried about how long it would take, how long I would have to take out of normal life in order to lose the weight. But now, when I consider that I have spent ALL of my adult life morbidly obese, seven months is such a short time to take out and make the changes I needed to.

Not that my journey is over yet, in RtM I am still struggling with the old food demons that made me what I was before. I have lost some battles, and have won a few too - only time will tell if I can succeed. But at this moment, feeling as I do now, I am confident that I will not allow myself to go back to what I was last year. There will be ups and downs a plenty, but it is the long game that counts.

Thank you so much for your kind words, they really mean a lot, and your support really helps me to start winning again!

Take care
