Another great reaction to my weight loss diet

I met with a customer on thursday who hadn't seen me this year. She was very shocked at my weight loss. She could hardly concentrate on the work at hand to talk business.
As I am now getting used to being thin and most people know what has happened this was a good reminder for me for the success I have had on the lighter life diet.

The lady's husband needs to lose more weight than me so I expect he had a tough night on thursday.

I had a few roast potatoes yesterday for the first time and didn't put on any weight. I haven't actually found any trigger foods yet that put weight on me. I think for me I was simply over eating across the board. Large portions and plenty of them. The new eating culture of eating good foods and watching the portion sizes is finally getting into my head and I am sure I can stick to my weight loss.

The next step for me is to up my exercise levels as I am not fit physically and need to improve this over the next 6 months to complete the job.

Swimming and gym today - What an angel

I am going for my first swim this year.

The first since I lost all the weight. I hope I will float!
My costume is far too big for me but I will cope until I get a new one.

I still do not know how much exercise I am supposed to so while on abstinence. I keep meaning to clarify this with my Lighter life counsellor. I will take it easy and see how it goes.

Just the whole fun of being there thin is brilliant.

I am enjoying being back on abstinence but I only have a bit more to lose then I have to face the world of real food for the rest of my life. Ho Hum.

Next session with my lighter life counsellor tomorrow

I missed last weeks lighter life counselling session because of a bad cold. So tomorrow will be the first weigh in for 2 weeks. I expect to have maintained my weight loss and maybe lost another pound.
I am no longer concerned about putting the weight back on as it is not going back on.
All the doubters have been proved wrong for me as I am keeping the weight off.
I am going to return to the gym on monday and introduce exercise for the first time in 15 weeks.
I actually find the gym quite boring but it is convenient and paid for. It will be so nice not having to enter 19 stones 11 lbs into the gym machines. I will thoroughly enjoy entering 15 stones in. I will not feel like I have to hide the numbers as I put them in.
Apparently the calorie count on the machines will not be as high because of this but that is fine.
This new weight is a culture shock for my mind and body but I like the new culture.
