I've been dieting for about 5 years and overall i've lost about 5 stone (70lbs) that i've actually kept off. I've done all the diets, and they've all worked to some degree. In fact i've been doing diets for so long i almost feel like a pro dieter. If there is such a thing.
I'm here to read other peoples stories and get some support with trying to shift my final 36.6 pounds. After doing everything from the Southbeach, To atkins, to lemon, cabbage the whole lot i have reached this point now.
Right now im not on a diet as such, im just counting calories hard working out twice a week and trying to loose weight and keep it off, as opposed to loosing a stone (14lbs) in like a week and then putting it all back on as soon as i get close to a normal eating plan.
This is working but it's hard, as my body is still messed up metab wise, so as soon as i have my one day free to have a few treats i see my self gaining about 5-6lbs. Extremely frustrating and demotivating.
Later on i will have a look around the forums and see what i can learn, and maybe even help. I don't knock or hate diets, they have helped me and changed how i was, but i still have a way to go, and want to get there.
Thanks for reading, i will be back later to look around...
