Omg, 10 stones is what I'd like to get down to. Thats still too much for my height (5ft 1.5in) though as my original weight watchers target weight was 8st 10lbs.I did actually get to goal but it was a long, long time ago. However I'm much older now so you have to make allowances. :-D as you say us ladies do have a tendency to comfort eat! (why are we programmed to do that?)
I started slimming world 3weeks ago & have so far lost 6.5 lbs. Not fantastic but good for me as I've been dieting for years & am a slow loser. It's going in the right direction so hopefully it'll stay off this time as I'm learning to change my eating habits without having to weigh & count points.
Good luck & let us know how you are doing. I love seeing other peoples weight losses & stories.
