I've just updated my diary thread, but realise not everyone can access member's diaries so thought I'd also announce here that it's exactly a year tomorrow (15th December) when I reached my target weight of 10 st 6 lbs after having lost over 8 stone on CD in the space of 10 months last year (I started in Feb 2006 weighing 18 st 11 lbs).
I weighed myself this morning - as I do every morning - and am currently 10 st 7 lbs. It would be rather nice to be 10 st 6 lbs tomorrow (just so I'm exactly the same as I was this time last year) but I think I can live with being 1 lb heavier
In the space of the last year I've been up to 10 st 12 lbs at my heaviest and as low as 10 st 2 lbs, but seem to hover quite happily around the 10 1/2 stone mark which for someone of my height (5'6") is probably about right.
For anyone just starting out on CD, or may be part of the way along their weightloss journey, all I can say is KEEP GOING! It may seem like a long road but it goes faster than you can imagine and the benefits at the end are just so worthwhile.
Of course, the job is never truly 'done' and you do need to change your life-long eating habits to maintain your loss, but the best advice I can give is to keep in mind the golden rule: Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels
Good luck to all of you!
