Hi there! Induction day 1 with about 102lb to go. Picked up new diet book last week and was amazed to recognise myself in the description. Like the idea of internet support. Anyway will fill in a journal but just wanted to say hi.

Smile Hi and Welcome

Hi jonrees

Welcome. Taking the first step is often the hardest. Now don't get me wrong ... Induction can prove to be difficult but hang on through those first two weeks and you will be much nearer your goal much faster.

We are having a UK Get-Together - the first ever - probably on 8th September if you are interested.

Take care.

Default Nice day out in London !

Phoebe

Perhaps u could try and persuade Tom to come down to London for a day out - 8th September: UK's First Ever LC Get-Together. Maybe if he is in a room with other LCers something in the conversation might hit home! U never know and I know how much this means to you. You could fit in the theatre in the evening and make it enjoyable? Worth a try.

I do know how you feel 'cos I am doing my best to persuade my family to go LC because they are all struggling with their weight but .... they'll only listen when they are good and ready.

Take care.
