Hi Valerie,
Well done on another good day hunni x
I totally agree with Steve...maintaining is so much harder than losing.
I've lost my excess weight several times...but I've never been able to maintain x
hi steve & skinnydawn i have to agree with both of u maintaining is hard work, i like you dawn have got to target too many times to mention but i have never stayed there for long and have put it all back on plus a bit more each time but in the past i have mostly done it by using quick fix diets instead of finding a plan i could really stick to, even now if i have an off day i think i'll do a fad diet to get a couple of lb off quickly but i know it's not the answer and tell myself i couldn't find a better plan than s/w why should i starve myself when i know if i follow s/w 100% i will get the results that i want (i feel quite virtuous now lol) i have been looking in magazines at the weights & heights (and on here) of different people and am wondering if my target is way too high, some are at my height and only weigh 9st
that makes me feel like i am still humungous but i can fit easily into a 14 on bottom and 12 on the top. and people have been noticing my weight loss (one male friend said i looked too skinny :8855 i think i'm a bit worried that i won't be able to maintain it if i go under 12st, i have been as light as 9st 3lb was a size 8 but that was 30 years ago ha ha lightest weight in recent years was 10.7 but my face goes so thin i look anorexic i think i'm happy with how i look (in clothes) but need to execise and tone up the wobbly bits :character00115: i have a recumberant exercise bike( nice & comfortable so no excuses for not going on it other than laziness) sitting on my landing but i keep forgetting it's there think i will add it to my diary each day to remind me to get on it if i do a couple of 10 min stints on it will be better than nothing sorry i've gone on a bit today got carried away lol enjoy what's left of the day love val xx
