constantly confused
I'm thinking of my long term plans for stabilisation and maintenance, and also to avoid some of the side effects I'm prone to.
I'm currently just under 12 stone (eep), but my goal is between 10 and 11, 11 is healthy BMI but I guess vanity means I'd prefer to be lower. I was happy with my weight at 10 and a half stone, so that's something I'd like to aim for.
Anyway, I am very active during the day, walk for at least 3 hours and I'm finding that really difficult, so I've decided to slowly work my way through the levels so I can focus more on exercise, which I think is important for health.
I wanted to do 2 weeks of SS+, 2 of 810, 2 of 1000, 2 of 1200 and then 2 of 1500, sticking at 1500 until I reach a weight I'm happy with. That's 10 weeks, so if I achieve an average of 2lbs a week, that will mean I'll weigh around 150lbs, (10 stone 10) which I'll be happy with.
Do you think that could work? Is 2lbs a week a realistic figure? I'd expect to lose more some weeks, and less as I go through the higher plans, but I'm going to be exercising regularly (3 classes a week plus all my walking) which might speed it up, but would certainly be better for my long term health.
Any thoughts?
