See the Look of Determination!

I had already decided that LL (lighterlife) was my only option to be where I want to be and fast! So yesterday I trawled the web in search of other LL & Cambridge dieter blogs. I was so disappointed to find so many had only one or two entries then disappeared. I can only assume they decided not to bother with the diet anymore otherwise im sure they would have been singing about their progess regularly. it wasnt exactly inspiring!

So I was delighted to finally find the blogs of Mike and James.

Mikes here: http://www.mylighterlife.co.uk/
James here: http://jamesb.iblog.com/blog/200878/page/4

I read Mikes last night and am half way through with James. I have to say I cried for about ten minutes when I finshed Mikes and sniffled for a good hour there after!

I felt really happy for him but mainly the tears were for myself and my family. Everything Im missing with them and vice versa. Everything Mike can now enjoy and ut made me determined so thank you for the inspiration Mike!

For a short period 6 years ago I was only 3 stones from target. I had just given birth to my daughter and had experienced the pregnancy from hell! Morning sickness lasting morning, noon and night throughout the entire 9 months so at 5'0, I was only 10stones 7lbs afterwards. I say "only" because thats the smallest I have ever been. I am now a whopping 18st 7lb and this has all been gained through stress, feeling low and the afore mentioned "issues" I have since being a wee nipper. For all the years in between I was always around 13-14 stones.

So here is a photo of me at my smallest 6 years ago...



















and here is me now. God Im brave doing this. For someone who wants to be invisable....jeez..













God I must be mad doing this blog lol.
