January 2011 I started my own diary, I was 11 stone 13lb and at 5ft 4 I felt over weight. I only managed to up-date for around 3 wks and kind of gave up on both the diet and the diary (I was constantly obsessing over food).
Then in Febuary I had an idea, stop stressing about food!.
I swapped breakfast and dinner for a CS shake and ate whatever I wanted for dinner, but have a slightly smaller portion (same size portion as my 15yr old size 8 dd, not my 18 stone OH!).
Also I quit drinking any alcohol for 6 months.
I stopped weighing myself every week, and just checked my weight monthly.
By february 2012 I weighed bang on 9st!
I now weigh 8st 9lb, and am very happy this weight, and seem to be maintaining this quite easily.
My main tips are dont skip meals (have a shake instead), watch your portion sizes, and cut out alcohol.
I have lost 2st 4lb in the last 15months! I can hardly believe it myself, I feel amazing
