Hi everyone, I have just registered this morning. I am hoping that with support I can lose a stone before Christmas.
At the moment I weigh 142 lbs, which on my little frame is far too much. My weight always goes on my face so there's no clever hiding the extra pounds! At my slimmest (for my wedding) I was 114lbs, but it clearly wasn't a natural weight for me as I couldn't maintain. I think around nine stone (126lbs)may be my perfect weight, and still quite curvy. But I just can't get there!! I've tried every diet on this board, and each time I end up bingeing and putting everything back on again. A stone may seem not much to some people but I'm stuck in such a rut I can't seem to budge a couple of pounds without putting it all back on again. I am feeling sooo down about it all. I look horrible in my clothes and my hair and skin look awful too, probably due to my yo-yoing. I'm going to be 40 next year and don't want to feel like this then!
Sorry to go on, I'd really appreciate some support or help with this and everyone seems really kind on the threads I've read.I work full-time and I have two children, so I don't have much time to myself.
I'm thinking of trying to limit calories, so that I'm not cutting anything out completely (and allowing myself my evening glass of wine!) and doing exercise 3/4 times a week. Does this sound ok?
Hope you can help! Any tips welcomed.
