I'm back again, like many people at the moment, with my tail between my legs :break_diet: I did Cambridge Diet about 3 years ago and lost 4 stone on it but had to give up because of finances, it was too expensive whilst I was a student. Over 2 years I put most of that back on again and towards the end of 2011 started calorie counting. It worked well for me and I lost 3 stone, reaching my lowest ever adult weight (still a fairly big 16st 12lbs) but then I met a lovely new man in March 2012 and my focus shifted. Suddenly I didn't feel so horrible about myself, there wasn't such a rush to get the weight off. He did Exante to lose about 4 stone so I knew that he understood, we were both very supportive of each other to keep on losing but we got comfortable, too comfortable. More eating out, less watching the calories and the lbs started creeping back on again. Since March I've lost about 3 stone, but unfortunately it's the same stone over and over again! I started Slim and Save in November and we were doing ok with it but then Christmas happened and with so many things coming up I decided to just enjoy it and start again in the new year. So I started again yesterday, weighing a massive 18st 4lbs. I'm determined to see it through this time though. No more excuses, no more breaks, just keep on going. I have no doubt that I'll stumble and slip up but I HAVE to get back up and carry on. I can't carry on my life like this, though I'm happy with my life, I'm not happy with my body and how it impacts my life. I want to feel happy and confident to do anything. I don't want to worry about having days out to things like Go Ape or Alton Towers. So I'm not going to let it hold me back anymore, I'm going to get this weight off once and for all and live life to the full. I'm going to start that now though, no more waiting til I get there. This has turned into a rather long ramble and I don't know why really, sorry! If you got this far without getting bored, I'm impressed!! So many great supportive people on this site and particularly this section, with that help I think we can all do this.
