Well, just had week 13 weigh in and I am so delighted to have lost 5lb this week! I have no idea how, although I have been making a conscious effort to drink plenty of water and not let myself get dehydrated.
Now though, I really would love some input from you all and your vast experience, as I just don't know when to stop! Story of my life with food!
I was aiming for 10 stone, which was a BMI of 22 (I'm 5ft 6in). Well tonight within our dwindled group of 4, to all stay together we have decided that we will do another four weeks and then go into management. This would leave me at a BMI of 23 and at 10 1/2 stone if I can lose another stone within those four weeks.
I've changed my ticker to reflect this, but don't know if I am doing the right thing. I hope that I might lose another 7lbs in RTM possibly, and I do need to start watching finances as I have to pay childcare full time as I am going back to work from my mat leave, so I am conscious of that, but also I'm not sure if I am doing this because I do want this to be over in one way and that I would like to stay with my group, or whether it's actually the right reasons that I've changed my goal.
Thing is, I don't want to look back and think, ooh, I should have lost another 7lb, but then I want to be at a weight that I can comfortably sustain. Then I think, why am I thinking that I will never lose any more weight if I don't do it right now?? I could always go back on the packs for a couple of weeks at some stage to lose a little more - oh I just am sending myself dizzy with all this!
Just don't know what to do for the best!
