Wow, you've done amazingly well already, well done!
Originally I was 14 stone 13. Lost 4 stone with WW over the past 8 years I've lost it and put it back on again, had another baby yadda yadda!
I tried WW this time last year and i was so unbelievably good but the losses just weren't there, I was getting up 5 or 6 times a week to do cardio and/or yoga and all I'd lose was half a lb a week, SO, it all went on again.
In June I started CD at 13 stones 12lb and about a size 18(all my 16 clothes were TIGHT) as I'm only 5 foot 4 and apple shaped :-(
This morning I was dead on 12 stone. I want to be about 9 stone 9 or thereabouts. I've bought the Dukan life plan book and I think I'm going to do that until, well, I die or lose my mind and don't care any longer (or scientists invent a pill that makes me expel calories by breathing!) I can't go back to WW as I can eat whatever I want in moderation and I just can't do moderation, I'm either extremely good or embarrassingly greedy, with Dukan it says one day a week is pure protein, you can have ONE treat meal a week and can have carbs occasionally, this is the kind of structure that appeals to me but I know l will have the occasional burger and chips or pizza (I'm thinking once every 6 months?)
BUT, I've got a couple of stone to go to decide what I will actually do lifelong. Weasey is doing a low GL plan which sounds sensible but I will need to look into more 'refeeding' (I hate that term) and maintaing when I get there.
I think the problem I've had in the past is I've been so obese and unhappy that as soon as i start to feel a little good about myself e.g a size 14, I think I'm ok and start eating again. I need to learn to stop this, it's affecting my health this treating myself with food.
Phew, long post!!
