In 2005 I was 20 stones 11....today I am 12 stones 10....
Over the years I have never given up, lapsed definitely, but never given up, and here I am again for the last leg of the journey.
I weighed in January 2012 at 14 stones and today I'm 12 stones 10 pounds. I am really hoping to be 11 something for Easter, which I don't think is too unrealistic.
I have issues with PCOS and double ovulations which can really cause havoc with my mood, and therefore diet, but hopefully they are behind me in terms of seeing the scales go up more than a few pounds.
A few glitches this time around, mean comments from people telling me my face looks bad where I've lost weight...but I'm still very overweight and in a size 16...my hope is for a size 12 but the reality may be a 14...either way, I have a way to go for people to be commenting on my face already:cry: Mum has just come out of hospital and so has my sister, so more stress than usual.
I'm posting here in the hope that I'll get some encouragement for the final phase as I'm not getting it elsewhere apart from my wonderful hubby and CDC.
I don't hit ketosis at any point so I'm switching between SS+ and 810 depending on my cycle.
I will have some great before and after piccies once I get to where I need to be, which is only a stone and a bit away ...although sometimes the last 2 stones has felt harder than the first 8 stone loss!
Hope to find some encouragement here, and a place to waffle about the diet and concerns without family/friends rolling their eyes
One shake and bar down already, off to gym in 10 mins before taking mum to hospital...really got to fit in the exercise!
Hope everyone is having a great Monday, it's freezing but the sun has just decided to show up !
