Yes I know how that feels - I started 28 September - 14 weeks ago, expecting that it would take me about 45 weeks to get there. But I've lost over 60% of my target loss so far - and if things carry on going well I could be done in another 12-14 weeks or so - which will be 28 weeks in total. I can honestly say that it has flown by and doesn't seem nearly that long. That said I set off expecting it to be next summer but didn't dwell on it - or it would seem insurmountable. The thought I hung onto was whats 10/11 months compared with the 19 years I have been yo yo ing and virtually permanently (or so it seems) on one diet or another.

Hi Setas --

I keep telling myself that -- I spent 13 years being overweight and feeling bad myself. Then I got it off -- kept it off for about a year, started regaining, and have been yoyoing again between a stone and a stone and half (then jumped fast to neraly 2.5 stone up -- which woek up to do this again).

It does seem slower than last time... and it might be (just a little bit) -- but compared to being overweight for 13 years... it is a drop in the bucket.

We CAN do this!!!

All I can say is good luck, Sweet. Whether you have 4 weeks or 40 weeks, you need to take a day at a time. I was absolutely hideous in my first week, but now I dont even feel hungry and have to force myself to have my shakes. Take 1 day at a time, honey, and just remember WHY you are doing this. We are all in this together

Hey guys well sadly my little girl was in hospital all day today, and silly me ate a tuna sandwich and a ham sandwich. So now i am kicking myself.

dont be too hard on urself hun. pick urself up, dust urself off and move on from ur little slip.
ya know, if ur walking on ice u have to expect to slip but its the getting up and continuing the walking on ice that is the real achievement. so walk on, u may stumble, slip or even fall but each time there will be friendly hands here to help pull u to ur feet.
this is a tough diet and not one person here will say ' its easy' cause it clearly isnt, but it is doable and it IS worth it.
i CAN do this, they CAN do this and u CAN do this.

Oh Herts -- Don't sweat it. The bread carbs are great... but you have to eat. They were a good choice I am sure for what was available.

I hope your daughter gets better soon. A ill child is the worst -- you feel so helpless.
