Chunky Monkey Got The Better Of Me

Hey,

I'm Linda and I have 42lbs or 3st 4lb or 20.9kg to lose. No matter which way I write it down it's a lot. All put on since I stopped smoking a few months after my dad passed away. Sadness and cravings are a lethal mix.

It is time to lose this weight and get back to a healthy 10st 12lb. I'm tired of looking chunky in photos and clothes not fitting me.

I hope you are all happy with your progress thus far and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Linda

    Congratulations for kicking the smoking habit! Seriously, if you can do that, you can do anything.

    You're in the right place to get back on track. Welcome to the party.

    Welcome back! Quitting smoking is way harder than cutting back food; but losing weight is harder than quitting smoking because it takes longer. To quit smoking you just ... stop smoking. To lose weight, you change your habits, and then you have to continue to make good choices for weeks, months, or years.

    You can totally do this. We've got your back.
