Hi Tracy! Forgot about after Christmas, I should be more patient. I probably won't be able to keep up with the threads then!
Tracey, you only have a few pounds to go. Good for you. Has it all be with CC? How long?

Yes, I've always done CC. It's taken me over two years, but that's no bad thing as I don't have the excess skin that you get with large weight loss if you do it quickly. Also I don't exercise, so that's maybe slowed me down a little! It's just a way of life for me now. How about you, have you always been a calorie counter? xx

Slow and steady wins the race. It's a shame I can't follow this principle myself. I've done all sorts of things to lose weight. It's funny but I lost 50 pounds between 2001-2004 and didn't really do anything special. Can't even recall the approach I used. I was so focused on my degree that weight loss was a consequence. It really does show the psychology aspect of eating behavior. Anyway maintained up to 2009 give or take a few pounds. I think I was happy and not made a conscious effort either to lose the remainder 50 pounds. I started gaining between 2009 and this year, about 20 pounds and it scared me. However the last few years I've tried to tackle it head on with no success and had some health issues.
The last 3 weeks I've done cd but it's not for me as I felt ill all the time. I'm back to CC and trying to work with what I've lost and the benefits from the last 3 weeks. Trying to look forward and not back.....

Good for you, Steff! Things have changed around for you, it's great. Other than wearing smaller clothes, do you find your styles have changed?

My style has changed a bit but I think it is to do with confidence and feeling/looking better. I'm going away next weekend and tried on some dresses I've had for a while. One of them is a bit snug but in January didn't do up at all.
