Hi I am Laura, am 30 years old, I live in Switzerland with my australian husband and our very young daughters. I started a diary on here before but that was about 20lbs ago and I am feeling too GREAT for all of that doom and gloom I felt in my fattest pants ever!

My highest weight was 121kg (266.8lbs)(19st)
My starting weight on WLF (1st August 2010) was 116kg (255.7lbs)(18st.3lbs)
My Current weight is 106.6kg (235lbs)(16st11lbs)
My weight loss so far from highest weight is 14.4kg (31.8lbs) (2st3lb)
My weight loss since joining WLF is 9.4kg (20.7lbs)(1st6lbs)

Just looking at the numbers makes me feel great! I have a big journey ahead of me to get to my 1st goal weight of 171lbs but I now KNOW I can and will get there.

Positive thinging and a dynamic change of attitude are seeing me through the challenges and my friends, family and this forum are helping me with the rest! I plan on getting a regular user of the celebration smileys!:party:

Mini Challenges this month: anyone can join me!
*take minimum 25g of fiber each day
*join the gym before the snow comes
*walk if I can, leave the car at home!
*stop boring my RL friends with my indulgent enthuiasm bursts regarding my new found healthy lifestyle.
*improve my english in order to make my diary reflect the crazy happy, swirling around the room with my kids feeling I get when I look in the mirror and see this butterfly that has spent nearly 20 years in a cocoon of fat.
 
Great to read such a positive life-affirming post!! I'm sure you're going to go a long way with motivation like that! The best thing is, that at 31lbs into your journey, you can see the absolute benefits and great feeling that you get from losing the weight and living healthily - that in itself is the biggest push to keep going!

I look forward to reading more about how you are getting on! Good luck :D
 
I had a great workout today, I felt totally pumped and really put my all into it. Eating has been better today and I feel back on track after my rest day. I LOVE the compliments!!! I get compliments on my progress from people I hardly know. I even complement myself these days! For example my legs are taking on great shape. I am very strong and have good muscles in my legs. I can't wait to wear shorts next summer. The first time since my childhood!!!
The hotel over the road from my house (like I can see the sex happening people!! shut your blinds!! kinda close!) has offered me a deal. I can use their fitness room (gym) for an hour before opening every morning before opening times for free. If I hit my target each month its stays free!! Thats motivation right there! I love a bargain!

I find myself wanting to move all the time. I am becoming someone who fidgets! I love thi snew me! Yippee! I am concerned that my diary may seem like a gluttonus positivity binge but I can help it. If I feel ninja after 30lbs, I will be superwoman by minus 60!!
 
Pretty good day today. Struggling with fending off the junk food monkeys, they sit on my back and tell me ''its only a little burger''
Had a great hike in the mountains with my mini weights and enjoyed the dusky time burn in my upper arms as I walked. Feeling fat today, I wonder if its mother nature holding the water back. I must remember to keep flushing my system with water. I have become relaxed on the drinking. Mini goal until end of Sept, minimum 10 glasses of water per day.
 
Wow! Keep up the great work! will definately keep stopping by your journal for some inspiration! ;)
