2.5lbs off! .. now 9 stone 10.5, lowest weight ever!!! 2lbs to my 5 stone award.. we'l see. xxxxx

Great stuff Fern, and there you were worrying that your big 6lb loss wasn't 'real'. Well this proves otherwise! Well done, obviously the efforts you're making are really paying off. *applauds*
 
Thank you so much :) I was very worried that it wasnt 'real' and was nervous all week. I was convinced it was a fluke and was praying to just stay the same, so that my 6lb loss was real. To be honest when i stood on the scales, i saw the number but it just didnt compute. After maintaing for a year i often step on the scales and see numbers im very familiar with now.. anywhere within 9 . 13 and 10. 3 as normal, so when i saw 9st 10.5.. i knew it was different, but it just didnt compute.. then all of a sudden i realised i'd never been that weight.. and i was sooo happy!


even now, il still nervous.. to have these numbers feels so bizare.. im waiting to wake up from this dream...


for now im trying desperatly to not hope for a 2lb loss next week. I need to stay calm and focus on my bingeing. I dont want to be distracted from tackeling my food demons. They are equally as important as the numbers, i see that now.


P.s .. how fabulous is your loss! xx

I think you've got exactly the right idea - the numbers are, after all, a consequence of the eating, not the other way round. Get the demons sorted out and the numbers will take care of themselves. :)

Thanks for the kind words, it's funny because every now and again it will suddenly hit me how far I've come and I'll be like 'OMG!! OMG!!', but most of the time I'm just so focused on the here and now I don't even think about it!

I know exactly what you mean, you almost 'forget' how far youv come. People say how well iv done and im like, yeah.. thanks.:) and think nothing more of it.. i guess i forget just how much iv lost (no where near what you have!) but when i think about it, if i were to think about having to lose it all over again.. it scares me.. and that reminds me!

Looking at your stats, thats just amazing! I havnt seen you around the forum much, are you new hon? or am i just being silly :p I cant believe your numbers, youv practically lost what i weigh :eek: Absoloutly amazzzzing.

No I've been around since I started actually, I joined the forum the day after - I was working from some old books/info given to me and this board was a real godsend in terms of advice. I haven't always been a regular poster but I read the forum quite often. Actually I read a few of the boards, I've been very interested in seeing how people get on with the different approaches. :)

I think I'm going to try and settle at 9st, just a couple of pounds off that now and I'll then have lost 10st in total. Before I put the weight on I was a little skinny of 8st, but I'm middle-aged now so I'll settle for being a stone or so heavier now. Less wrinkles that way hopefully. :D
 
Gosh thats just amazing isnt it? a 10st loss.

Can i be cheeky and ask.. will this be the first (and if so, hopefully the only) time you have lost your weight?

Im always interested in those who are doing it for the second (sometimes more) time round.. and what makes them successful this time round.


our height is very simalar so i can imagine how you must feel at your wieght now, .. i cant imagine myself being 8st!

my orginal target was 10st 1, a loss of 4 and a half stone. I was aiming for my 5stone award, to take me to 9stone 8.5lbs. However, it just wasnt happening. My losses recently mean im 2lbs off my 5stone award.. but as iv said before im trying not to concentrate on that, but i already feel a little bit more happier with myself for those few extra lbs off. Im happy at 10st but knew id like a little bit more off, however i find 10st very easy to maintain, so i hope.. if i find myself at 9st 8.5.. that it is just as easy.



you have done so incredibly well!
 
It's the first time I've gotten all the weight off, yes - I struggled for so many years, periodically doing WW or calorie counting, but the most I lost was a couple of stone before giving up and putting it back on, with interest. I was locked into a chronic bingeing cycle that lasted 20 years, basically.

I'd actually heard of SW a long time before I tried it, but I just didn't understand how it was possible to eat freely of things like pasta, rice and potatoes and lose weight. It went totally against everything I'd ever known. I only decided to give it a go in the end because I was literally suicidal over my eating, I was willing to try anything at that point.

If I remember rightly I lost 8lbs in my first week, so that kind of told me there must be something in it! :D
