Keeping the weight off when at target!

[Cavycrazy]

Its a great thread this one to see what everyone is thinking of doing once they get to Goal!

Having looked now at some of the other plans I think I am going to go along the GI way, and have sourced a couple of books that will help me am sure (good old ebay! ).

I think something has just clicked in my head, and like AmandaJayne I am starting to take responsiblity for my own well being and happiness! I just wish I had found VCLDing earlier and hadnt messed about with so many other diets!

Once at goat I am determined not to pile it all back on again, and am enjoying feeling happier, more confident and not such a fat, frumpy 43 year old.!!

It is really great to hear from someone who has lost alot of weight and KEPT IT OFF for years. There is hope for me then!

I am determined to be like Maintainer and stay at a healthy weight when I finally get to it! I have to grow up and take responsibility - at age 43 it's about blooming time, it think!

Thank you Amanda Jane and I hope you get there too. I'll be 43 next birthday so I do appreciate how much harder it is when we get to "our age". The plus of it all is that I feel far younger and more lively at 42 than I did in my 20s or 30s!

Good luck to all of you in your respective journeys

I remember that lightbulb moment. Did you ever do that 'eating like pacman' after the club weighin? I know I did Hey! What's all that about Naughty schoolkid behaviour really isn't it. Along the lines of you can do it as long as you don't get caught.

Looking back it seems incredible that I was so naive. Who did I think I was dieting for?

At the Slimming Club I used to attend (many years back, during one of my failed attempts to lose weight), a group of us used to always go to the Fish and Chip shop after weigh in! We figured we then had longer to "re-lose" whatever we'd gained!

I remember removing jewellry before weigh in, wearing thin clothes after a bad week, and all sorts of other ruses. Who did I think I was kidding indeed?!
