Thanks disney I feel like such a numpty always asking silly questionsthis is my first time on ss. I'm used to losing weight on 810.
Gonna do another week of ss then on 810 i reckon
Your questions aren't silly at all, honest. I just wish l could give more expert advice, but l still consider myself very much a learner. I smiled when my CDC introduced me to someone as one of her success stories, l don't really feel like a success, even when l was 3lbs away from goal. Maybe 5 years from now and maintaining l will.
Today she said something to me that meant a lot, l could have hugged her - she said l know you are disappointed at having but a bit of weight back on, but l know you will never go back to where you were, you've wanted this too much and worked too hard for it. I think she has more confidence in me than l do myself sometimes.

that's so cool. How much have you lost so far to date and how much have you got left.
i started at 15st
I's like to go back there again
I started at 14st 9lbs/205lbs in March 09 - BMI was 36 or something if l remember right, got to 9st 6lbs/132lbs(BMI 23) by Nov - (just before my gallbladder op), 5st 3lb/73 lb loss.
Now got 1 1/2 stone l'd like to lose. Another lb off and l'll be back in the 10s (if only just!), BMI currently 27
Must say l like the 810 plan, lost the final stone on it last year (from 10 1/2 to 9 1/2), might go back on it after l lose any weight gain from wedding and holiday - doing self catering, planning having 2 CD + one low cal meal a day.

Mum2one, re your Florida trip, not sure if this might be of interest to you - before l went to Florida in July l heard about gardengrocer.com and ordered some healthy/low cal foodstuffs/fruit and lots of water to be delivered to our first hotel for our arrival, delivery charge was $12/£8. Saved going to the supermarket and looking for healthy options on the way from the airport. It was really good for snacks/fruit for the kids too.
It was just like doing online shopping at Tesco or Asda, it worked out great. We still ate out quite a bit too.
Also Publix supermarkets (they're all over the place), similar to our Morrisons, really good for fresh prepared salads & fruit.

Well done Aogg & Disney. I hiked up a local hill (all forest tracks) yesteray... too me 3 hours to get up and back but the sense of accomplishment.... better than chocolate ever tasted Before hand I would have "rewarded" myself with a food treat later on in the day so it was interesting to just ride the wave of physical effort and recovery undiluted so to speak.Stayed at my sister's last night and this morning we did a very brisk (she has long legs and is a skinny minny) walk around her village with the dog for 45 minutes ... it was all hills and dips so really built up a sweat. Really want to get to the stage where exercising in some way every day is just part of the norm. Good luck all for the week coming xx

Trisha, well done for getting straight back on track, hope you enjoyed your night out.
Goreygirl, you're doing great with the exercise, as you say it gives a real sense of achievement.
Spent today with relatives from N.Ireland, now all set (l think!) for our niece's wedding tomorrow. Our daughter is a bridesmaid, son is wearing a kilt and presenting a horseshoe. Hope the weather's as nice as it was today.
Probably be back online on Tues evening.
Hope everyone has a very good week.
