Hello

[Lettra]

Just joined this group, am really desperate to loose weight, am diabetic and just finished gruelling cancer treatment. Am now ready to move forward. Yah

I love your photo Lettra, considering what you've just been through, you look like a million dollars!

Welcome to the forum, you've made a great choice. Everyone on here is friendly and helpful and we all work together to our aim of health and happiness.

Have you decided which weight loss plan you'll be following?

Just printed off the 12 day plan, but I need to study it before I start. I am looking forward to starting getting my weight down. Thanks for responding

I don't know if you'd be interested, or not, but Lowcal runs an extremely popular weigh-in thread on a Monday morning, where we all gather to report our weekly losses, gains, or maintenance and to get inspiration from each other. You would be made very welcome

Hello and welcome Lettra. It's a brilliant site, with loads of support and advice. It's great to hear you're ready to move forward. May your journey be a pleasant one

[Lettra in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, how are you going?

[Hidden in reply to Lettra]

Hi Lettra, I guess I'm not fanatical about weight but am pretty determined. I've been on this site and calorie counting for 9 weeks and lost about 30 lb. This week, I decided I needed a bit of a break and am likely to have put on a couple of pounds on the Monday Weigh in.

I shall be good from now until Christmas, so don't mind posting a small gain.

On Mondays, I look for a post from Lowcal called, Monday Weigh In, and I post my results for the week. It's GREAT, because it keeps me focused.

Good to see that you have finished your treatment and are back in Life's Rich Tapestry.

Welcome lettra!

Hi Lettra welcome to the community and loved your photo. After my cancer treatment I found it really helpful to set some goals and like you one of them was to eat more healthily and lose weight. That was nearly 5 years ago and I'm still clear (touch wood) and a stone lighter. Follow the 12 week plan and it will inspire you. 🌟💥💫

Take it easy on yourself - small noticeable changes. Hope you are getting plenty of rest and building your stamina slowly. Best wishes from Ann x

Thanks everyone, I will be in touch when the diet starts, this weekend is difficult, but I intend to start Tuesday, as I'm not home Monday
