Hi Everyone - or anyone!
I am posting here as back in 2013 I had some success with following intermittent fasting and slimming world. I posted everything here. I basically lapsed after I got impatient and started following a VLCD. I left this forum weighing 12st 9lbs with only 1 stone 9 lbs left to lose, and over the course of the next 8 years my weight has been mostly over 14 stone, and at times even up to 16 stone. I so regret that VLCD (I know it works for some I'm not knocking it). I just wish I had carried on slow, steady and sustainable!
I am currently 14 st 8lbs.
I want to try again. I have had some success this year as I've lost 1 stone since Xmas. I did this via calorie counting and 16:8 fasting. Just lately my weight loss has stalled. I found it really useful having a diary last time so I think I will post here to record any thoughts and progress.
Losing weight is so hard, such a mental and physical battle. I have tried so hard this year and I am sad that I've only lost 14 lbs. I want to lose another 3 stone 8 lbs which seems like mission impossible.
I'm going to try with 5:2 fasting as the 16:8 is not yielding much results. I can't decide whether to combine with SW or just keep it simple.
I tend to go off the rails a bit at weekends so though SW might keep me under control a bit more. I do find it hard to fit into my social life though.
I will be weighing in weekly on Wednesday's if anyone is interested. I also have a treadmill now and would love to get up to 15/20 mins of jogging non stop. I can only manage 2 minutes currently!
