Hi all,
I`ve lost probably about 8st or so over the last couple of yrs in various ways with breaks inbetween (wasn`t seriously tracking my weight before I was about 17+st, But I reckon I was pushing about 19+st
:cry. My last effort was Cambridge 810 then 1000 plan and I`ve lost 8lbs in the last month on it. I don`t think it was really worth the expense of 2 tetras a day as I didn`t feel they were really making a huge difference to my weight loss as my problem is more portion sizes and exercise as I generally eat "ok" and my head just wasn`t "in the zone" and I think it really needs to be to do that diet.
When another minis friend (thanks MM!) told me about RC incorporating exercise into their classes I looked up the website and decided that it would be a good thing to try. This way, I get the best of both worlds as I still have the discipline of being weighed but also get to have a work out/dance class which I am HOPING will help me shift the last of my weight.
I think I`m going to have a real shock when I get the portion control pots, As although I eat pretty healthily, I think I probably eat a lot more than I should:sigh:
I have a deadline of ASAP, but June at the very latest as I have a hospital appt then as I am trying to get a TT on the NHS. I have already seen the plastic surgeons who have agreed that my tummy is totally mullered and no amount of exercise/diet will help it But as my BMI was 27 when I saw them, It was a no go from the start. I was denied funding from my PCT - I don`t know if this was generally or because my BMI wasn`t low enough but the Plastic surgeons and my GP are very supportive of an appeal. I can`t lodge my appeal until I am at a healthy weight and a BMI of 25 but ideally, I`d like to get that sorted before seeing them again in June.
I`m really starting to panic now as I struggle to lose weight as I have an Underactive Thyroid and PCOS and as I`m getting closer to goal, It`s also making it harder to shift the last stubborn pounds :cry:
I`m hoping that with the increased exercise, I will finally be able to reach my goal and forget dieting once and for all! It`s been a long two years!!
My mini target is to lose 5lbs as that will mean that I am halfway and once I reach my target of 10st 10lbs, Ideally, I would like to eventually get to 10st. I`d definately like to get to about 10st 5lbs to allow for any "water gains" etc that might show at my hospital appt as we all know we seem to weigh heavy when we least want to and 10st 10lbs would mean ONLY JUST having a BMI of 25 and I don`t want anything to spoil my chances of an appeal.
Wow, I do ramble on!! I`ll shut up now!! haha
