Hi I have to admit, been lurking on this site for while, didnt write before as I start the plan/fall off/start/fall off, and have been too embarrassed to write, so the reason I am writing is to say hi to you all new/oldies and since starting 75% i lost 7lb, but totally comitted to plan on wed and from wed to this morning 3.5 lb!

so guess Im back officially, i will print on wed, my actually first week weigh in, and will AGAIN lol, start a diary, I think this time its REAL, what helps me is I joined a gym and booked a personnal trainer begin of oct, and agin end nov, and he actually said (my target was to loose 16lb), that if i stick to plan i can loose it in the 8 weeks!, and this is what i am doing.

Started 9.12

start of Oct 9.8 taget 8.6 present 9.1.5

Love to you all

Lvvy (the secret Baileys lover)

hi livyy nice to see u back on the board again and well done on the loss so far

can i suggest u post your menu in our daily thread rather than a diary cos it will get more views there... also i suggest u post in the other threads too, In my experience those who always post tend not to stray and when someone goes quiet often its cos they have gone off plan and are too embarassed to say but its exactly that not wanting to be embarassed that keeps us on the straight and narrow lol

glad to hear u are going to the gym i take your trainer is supportive of your eating plan? how many times are u going and what sort of workout?

looking forward to reading lots of posts from you

Hi Livvy, welcome back - I remember you from a long time ago when I used to be a lurker too!  I've been on the board for nearly a year now, pretty much posting every day, and as Shy says it really does help.  I'm no saint, but confessing on here keeps me on the straight and narrow, and I've managed to maintain my loss. 

Keep posting your menus and join our chat and you'll do just fine.  Well done on joining the gym, bet you're really enjoying the feeling every time you finish a session. 

Have a great low carb weekend!

Thanks ladies, yes will have try post everyday, or least every couple days,

Well i booked a trainer and thats the bst thing i ever did, as has personnal plan, and was shocked to hear how much of me is fat and muscle lol, plus motivation is I would feel fool to let them all down, and seeing weight come off, i NEVER want to put it back on, I havent said to trainer about low-carb, and he suggests lots carbs before gym!, and actually no-one here at home has really noticed the diet, just the weight loss!

Today (althought VERY VERY BLOODY TIGHT), managed to get on size 8 jeans, so was 9.12, now 9 1.5, need to get to 8.6, so hopefully by end of nov, then maintain to xmas, what the best present to myself, is to slay slim and look great on xmas morning,

and Shykins....you will have to find me the Baileys recepie for christmas lol

 

Have good weekend

Livvy xx
