Well actually I'm not going that fast, but only have 9lbs left to go (slightly less if I weigh on my scales... lol).
So my story, I was a skinny teen, was always told I would fall down the drain if I turned sideways, I started to put on my weight when I started to have children... and with each child I put on a bit more until I had 10 children and lots of surplus weight.... lol A couple of times I have managed to get down to 11 stone, but not sure what happened, probably meeting my 2nd husband was one of those times I put on weight as he is skinny and eats whatever he likes and never puts on weight, unfortunately I do... 2nd time I got down to 11 stone with WW and then had another child... lol and ended up at 14 stone 6, I think it was probably nearer 15 stone, but I dieted for a week before I got round to weighing myself, all I know is that I was huge.
After starting with WW in January and then swapping to a kind of Atkins Diet and losing 10lb in all, my impatience got the better of me and I decided to do CD as I wanted the weight off quicker, plus MIL and FIL were coming over and I didn't want to be fat as I am already 14 years older than hubby and didn't want to be fat and 14 years older than him so they would have even more to complain about... so I started CD and haven't looked back since.
I went from a size 20 top and bottom to a now size 10 bottom and 12 top and I am absolutely loving my shoulders, I have always had American Footballer shoulders but now I can feel the bones and I think that is what I love about being slim the most, as you can imagine my tummy is never going to be flat (not even close) esepcially after having 3 caesereans, so may look into a tummy tuck in the future.
But for now I need to lose this last 9lb, not sure if I will revise my goal once I reach it as I would really love to see just how unflabby my tummy would get, but dont really want to lose much more around my bottom half... and dont want to look old and haggard either.
I am on 810 and have been for a few weeks, but have changed it slightly to suit me. I have cut out one shake and have a 150 cal breakfast instead, and I am getting very imaginative with my menus. I also tend to have quorn and/or cottage cheese so that I can split it and have a meal at lunch time and dinner time. I have also had several meals out and have still managed to lose weight, so am quite happy at the moment in how the diet is going, BUT I am losing motivation and just sooooo need to get to goal, I was hoping to have been there by 5th July, but that is not going to happen, and I know when the inlaws are around I will have to eat normally as I dont want them knowing I have lost tons of weight just because they were coming...
Sorry about the long post, I will put up my menus each day and as I am a scale hopper, I will also put up my weight on my scales each day too.... If you have got this far, thank you for reading and here's to added motivation for me for the rest of my journey....
