Tonight I reached my target weight and am sort of delighted but actually have a bit of turmoil going on at the same time!
The target date was 1st May (when I fly to Florida) and I began losing weight 7th August last year dropping from 17st 7lb to what I hoped would be 11st 4lb (based on "normal BMI range).
Last week I never weighed in as missed group when not 100%. I was 11st 8.5lb 6th April, then lost a staggering 8lb tonight meaning I'd "over-shot" my target by 3.5lb.
So what do I do now? - I have to remain within 3lb + or - of my target (11st 4lb) or re-set my target by at least 7lb. I don't of course wish to gain weight, so what do I do?
A target of 10st 11lb would be the next step as I don't wish to set a higher target.
Has anyone else had to do this - especially so soon after hitting target? - I am gobsmacked because I thought the final few pounds would have taken forever but in effect they were not.
Please advise.
I am of course going to Florida for two weeks, and as it stands I have 6.5lb leeway - which is handy.
Did I do the right thing in setting a target as I cannot help thing I may have inadvertently complicated things?
PS I'm looking forward to wearing my badge to work tomorrow
