Hello everyone. Back from Italy well and truly RE-toxed, with alcolhol, pizza and ice cream, SO, back to 790 for me from today. It's a wonderfully re assuring thing about Cambridge, that if you do "go for it" and lose control, (as we all do somethimes) it is perfectly possible to repair the damage quickly.
What I found extremely useful on my weight loss journey, was to make a big graph by joining as many sheets of graph paper together as necessary. Then, up the side, number it so that each square represents 1 lb., and accross the bottom, mark it so that 1 square = 1 day. Next, draw a dotted line from where you are today, at a rate of 4 lbs. loss each week. You will then be able to see what weight you will be, on any given day, IF YOU STICK TO THE DIET. This worked really well for me, and for the first 7 nomths I was "under the dotted line", then I started including food, and the weight loss slowed down, but I still lost.
I know I booked my summer holiday in January, believing that I would have lost 10 stone by then - and I did. I bought clothes off e bay, imagining myself wearing them (9 sizes smaller than I was wearing) and I DID wear them.
Hang in there everyone, it is SO worth it.
A warm welcome to all new WeMitts, and a special hello to Russiandoll and Mrs Tweedy, who are just MARVELLOUS!!
