It's because I've done it fairly slow and patiently, results still reflect the amount of effort put in
And I did try super hard this week!

Thanks Tracy! Still feels like there's a lot of work left to do, but I'm 60% through now, I'm past the hardest part!

Thanks, Alex and Kira! I've had a naughty week, as planned, lol. Apart from Christmas, this is usually the only full week I have off work all year, so I set myself a calorie budget (sad accountant!), and made the most of it!! xx

Awesome! Nothing wrong with planning weeks off.

Here's something I want to share.
Since I started I've kept a log of every single weigh-in. It's interesting reading it for me, I can almost remember every single weigh-in because of it. It's nice just to keep a log though!
My plans for this week are to keep it very strict. I want to lose 3lbs. To get into the 16st's would be AMAZING. If I work out at least three times this week, and keep my diet fresh and within 1800, I can do it. I will weigh myself on Thursday to check how I am doing, if I am doing bad then I will go 100% for the final days to try and do it!
I'm helping someone move furniture into their house on Wednesday, that should burn a few calories. Plus a few games of football with my friends will do me some good! Here we go Week 45, I hope you're ready for me!

That would be good! And then only 16lbs from your core goal ...wow-freaking-za. How good does that make you feel? Although I'm 99% sure your success is down to your determination and willpower, 1% of me is hoping that its down to your environment and that there's something in the water ... Cos that'd mean I'd be drinking it too! ;-) ah, if only. Well done fellow west-sussexer.

It's a great feeling, I find it hard to believe that I've come this far. Just because I was (and still kinda am) the laziest person on the planet. I never believed I could do this before, but this time it's for real.
Determination has been a big factor, I was just tired of living in an obese body. This is the only human body and life I will ever have, I don't want to live that life in a body I hate.
But it really hasn't been that hard. Setting realistic goals, being smart with my calorie intake and doing some research on water weight. It was never a temporary change, this is permanent. I don't call it weight loss, I call it preparation for the rest of my life!
Haha yes, Sussex all the way!
Love the spreadsheet cos' I have one too!! Mine includes a daily weigh on it! Very sad I know!
Alex I think your determination but realistic approach has almost made what you've done seem like not a diet an I diet if you like. Clearly you've had calorie deficit but you haven't deprived yourself or done a fad diet which ends up for most of us being feeling we've failed because it's not sustainable. You will definitely sail through maintenance as you've learnt about what will cause a gain and what won't and already you know how to adjust what and how much you eat.
Yoummake it sound effortless!
