You are so right.I have been thinking about it for the last week and even though I really want to lose another stone the motivation doesnt seem to be there so I have just ordered myself a sexy little black dress in a size 12.So i can hang it on the outside of my wardrobe as an incentive to stick to plan.From the measurements I need to lose 3 inches off my bust and two off my hips and two off my waist.I know that is doable if I stick to plan and go the back to the gym so feeling more positive.

Hi cathy, so understand where you are, I have been a bit over the place, but finally (I think...) got it in my brain. I wanted to lose another stone but seemed to be sabotaging myself, when I saw my GP about something else, we discussed 'ideal weight' for me, the books all say somewhere between 8.5 stone and 11 stone, I told him I was confused. I feel good, would like to lose a little more off my tummy, but that will come with exercise, he suggested I aim for a dress size instead, well I said I am between an 8-12 depending on shop and style, and I'm happy with that, then he said 'you have answered your own question! '
That's when I decided to move to management, this week I lost another 3 lbs! So starting week 2 tomorrow, and looking forward to it.
The feelings about comments you look good etc, are YOU happy with where you are? Only you really can make the choice, if you are stop beating yourself up, if you are not, stick on it for another week or so, or as my LLC suggested, stay on maintenance for the 8 weeks, review and do a total week at the end if you are not happy.
That kind of gave me permission and took away the pressure I was putting on myself.
We did crooked thinking properly tonight, OMG, I get it! The old LLC was nowhere as specific and clear at getting the message home by example which is how I learn the best.
Focus on the dress, danger zone of last stone syndrome, you can get through it,,,!!!
