Hi all, just noticed this thread, and would like to join you all. I am currently 12 stone 9lbs, not been in the 11s for quite a few years, my starting weight this time is the heaviest I have ever been, I had joined SW a few years back but my starting weight was quite a bit lower, I think I might have gotten into the high 11s then and of course got complacent and left, and piled on the pounds again.
I have set a few short, medium and long term goals for myself, my immediate goal is to get my Stone and Half award, I am hoping to achieve this at my next WI only 1.5 lbs to go, have worked so hard this week so will be very disappointed if I do not reach this. After that my next shorter term goal is to get below 12 stone. So those are the things I am working towards at the moment, I do not find it easy at all, I start obsessing and think of nothing else when I am in determination mode. I have been writing a dairy on here just to keep me sane and write down my thoughts, challenges and disappointments, it
can be quite cathartic to read back on, identify triggers, show achievements etc, I really hope everyone continues to keep going, and get into the elusive 11s, will check in and see how everyone is doing and if I can offer any words of encouragement or support I will be happy to do so.
