Hi Little Blue and Katie , I remember you from last March , God its nearly a year ago cant quite believe it. I hope someone remembers me, isnt it great that this thread is still here? All down to ISOM who started it, She went to WW last I heard hope she is achieveing what she wanted to do , as along with others from this thread including you both were my virtual friends and inspiration all through foundation. It would have been a lonely place to be last year without you all on minis, as when you follow foundation to the letter which I did last year you have to kinda give up lot of everything else, including having a life it seemed at times.
Well Little blue my story is similar to yours , I finished foundation 4 stone 4 down , then left and joined Cambridge, lost throughout the summer to get to within a stone of my goal but then kinda lost the plot as the Autumn came in. I looked and felt great and I think I lost sight of my goal and have messed about a bit since then and now find myself really struggling to shift the weight I have gained over the last few months. Why is it so hard this time , really wish I hadnt got complacent when I was so near my goal . To be be fair I think I had just about had enough and although I looked great I wasnt that thrilled with how my poor old naked body looked after losing 6 stones in 6 months, I looked deflated and old and I didnt like it.
I think subconciously because I looked OK in my clothes , but a bit battle scarred without them I listened to the people saying youve done enough , you will be too thin etc.But I think it is really important to get to the goal you set and that was my problem, its so easy to slip back and gain a stone.
I am determined to get to a BMI of 25 this time and I know in my heart Ketosis is the way to do it , but I think I am scared to go back to it and keep sabotaging myself. I will follow this thread and hope it helps me get back 'into the Zone; where I was this time last year so I can complete my weight loss journey properly and stop messing about for good.
Good Luck everyone , friends old and new, we can do it !
