Katie and TH... you two crack me up

But miss mac, they are right. SPILL !!!!
Get that weight off your mind

 

[x-Katie-x]

It's a good job I don't bite my nails, I'd have none left with all this waiting!

 

[Miss Mac]

Hahaha you guys are too funny!!!

Get ready for a long winded post

So my grand plan is this:

I plan to stay TFR until 1st may. On this day based on my scientific calculations i should be 12.7
From then and throughout the summer, so from may until september, i am hoping to maintain my weight at under 13 stone.
Then in october and november i plan to go back on TFR and lose a further 2 stone to take me to a final goal weight of 11 stone
From here i would like to maintain at under 11.7.

My plan is based on 2 halves because:
A: i want to enjoy the summer
B: i want to stabilise my weight

I could diet until the cows come home and get to a 'healthy' weight of 9.7 however, my lowest ever memory weight was 10stone and that was when i was in middle school! The problem with going this low is that I dont know how to maintain at such a low weight and neither does my body!!
Therefore i will end up gaining a couple of stone very easily which would make me waste a couple of months of my life and would make me think why did i bother!

I remember joining the army at 21 and i weighed 74kg. I didnt have a clue what weight that was. For some reason i have always remembered that number. Now, this was the time i was happy in myself, body confident and didnt think i had a weight problem so that is why i have decided to get to 11 stone and maintain under 11.7.
74kg is 11.4.
Now again i know this wont put me in the healthy bmi range but this is where i want to be. I dont want to be 9.7.

I have 2 contingency plans:
If i dont get to 12.7 by 30th april, i have 2 extra weeks i can do. However, i will be coming off on 14th may for a night out on 17th! This was always my goal, to lose weight for a night out.
Second is if i go above 13 stone in the summer i will cut summer short and start TFR in september in order to achieve 11stone by december.
I will not allow myself to go above 14 stone under any circumstances!

My aim is to weigh to keep an eye on my weight in the summer and if i find it creeping up i plan to look at what im eating and cut back or choose healthier. I may even do 5:2 but i will not use TFR to control my weight in this time. I need to learn how to control weight with food.

I am hoping that coming off the TFR in summer is a good idea as it will be nice and easier to eat fruit, salads and lighter meals.

So......that is my grand plan

Only 60 more days to go

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

Wow
That is an excellent and very well thought out plan miss mac
I love your determination not to go above the place where you are comfy now.
That IS good
I know I couldnt get down to my 18year old weight either.
I vaguely remember being told I was 65/66kg.
At 5ft 9, I must have been a bean pole
I really think this is the plan for you miss mac
You are so right not to rely on TFR in the interim period too. Its all a learning curve during that time to kerp you going for life

Thanks marge!
It feels like a good plan for me.
Im never going to be skinny nor do i want to be.
For some people it suits them but not me.
I dont even know how i will feel at 11 stone yet. Like i said i was 21 at the time. Before i had my son. I may feel i want to settle at about 12 stone as im now nearly 20 years older!! Eek
But that is my plan and those are my goals.

I didnt dare post them before now incase i failed but now i am halfway i feel so much better about it all

 

[carrieclaus]

I think that is a very sensible and achievable plan.. The contingency plan has impressed me most though. I know we never plan to fail but to plan more than 1 strategy is excellent. superstar! Xxx
