I started the diet in February last year, but only had 5/6 weeks on it before I was made redundant, and then couldn't justify the cost. I then started again in August /September last year, and made it to just before Christmas when I chose to take a couple of weeks off for Christmas and New Year. I ended up having a 3 month sabbatical. I've been back on it since the beginning of March, and I count myself lucky is I lose 1 kilo a week, which is just plain depressing. I know the weight does slow down the less you have to lose, but I just want to shed 2 more stone. That's all. I just feel like I've been doing it forever, and I have a very low boredom threshold!
I sat down last night and did some proper calculations. I've lost 5 stone, and 32.5 inches on this diet. It's been a FANTASTIC thing to do,and I don't regret one missed meal, or having to skip nights out. The huge difference I see and feel has been worth every moment. I just have to remind myself of that when I lose motivation or get depressed. I am going to aim to stick to it for another 10 weeks, and see where I get.

Thank you I was really pleased and that puts me now exactly half way to where I am going. So, as summing I slow down to the average of 1st per month, and given that I'm taking a few days off next week I project that I'll be done in August!

Not a whole lot planned. In the last 2 weeks I've been to Ireland for a week and had my aunt come to visit from the US for several days. This weekend is about regrouping and relaxing. Unfortunately the weather is forecast to be cold and crap, so I'll probably do some housework, go to a garden centre to check out plants to replace those that died in the severe cold in Feb, hang with a friend of mine, walk the dog.
What do you have planned?

Welcome aboard Jenny. I'm told the first few days are the worst, though to be honest they were fine for me. The best time hit about day 5 when I just burst with so much energy I didn't know what to do with it and the weight has been dropping off since with no end in sight! Stick with it, it can't fail to work if u stick to it

Keep on going - the results are amazing, I am 50lbs lighter and loving it! My goal is within reach now

I remember reading this post 2 months ago and thinking how amazing, 50lb seemed like a lifetime away, some improbable goal that was a bit like the lottery.... Possible but not likely enough to think seriously about. Now here I am 2 months on just past 50lb and looking forward the the final 50 and far from being some unachievable fantasy, I know it's going to happen and it's going to happen fast! What a ride this is!

I know what you mean. I have gone passed the 3 stones point and finally feel that I may actually succeed. I have been on so many diets before that I got to the stage when I didn't really believe that I would get to goal. It just seems to be working and I think that my head is finally catching up. I'm actually starting to make a plan for maintenance - not something which ever crossed my mind before. It's all a bit weird for me!mikeyB said:
