Hi everyone
Sorry, I'm not a great poster:sign0007: but a bit of a lurker... thought it's about time I got myself sorted out and tried to give back some of the inspiration that I have gained from this site:flowers:!
My update is that I got weighed this week (first time in 3 weeks) and had lost another 4lbs - brings my total to 6st 9lbs lost (inc 7lbs lost with WW before). I'm now in a size 12 and am very excited
. I'm still about 11 lbs away from my target but as I'm going on holiday to Florida I've decided to start working through maintenance in preperation. It would've been great to have got to target before I went but I'm really worried that as I've been doing this since March that I'll go a bit mad with food if I don't "restart" eating again properly. So... after accepting the fact that I'll probably have to finish the diet after the holiday, I've today started 790 - I never thought I'd be so excited about eating and having a proper size meal with my kids!!! But to be honest, I'd been getting really ratty around food again lately (like I did when I started this diet) and think my body was saying enough is enough with the SS! I had originally wanted to get to between 10 and 10.7 stone (my bmi would be 25 at 10.5), but have changed it now to about 10.10. Now that I've got to this point, I think I've realised that it's about the right weight for me now (aside from the fact that i'm considerably older now and have had 2 kids close together since the last time I was this weight!).
I'd like to try and add some photos of my before and after, but can't work out how - help anyone...!?
