You sure you are not at target?

You sure you are not at target?

I was going to suggest the same. It may just be that this is the weight you're meant to be which is why your maintaining? X

 

[suzyflo]

Hi guys, if I hadn't already been less then I too would have agreed with you but when I was going to class I reached target at 10st 3lb - that meant I could be between 10st & 10st 6lb to remain a target member, I did fluctuate between those weights and even got down the the lower 10st mark for a while, I remained at target for 18 months. Even when I went over it was only by 1/2lb which I'm sure I could have rectified but the problem I then had was I was on the wrong shift to attend class for a further 3 weeks, then I went on holiday, when I eventually could go back I checked on my scales (which tally with the s/w ones) and I had gone way beyond what I should have been - I didn't want to go back and pay so I decided to go it alone to get back to where I was - hence me being on here. I'm currently weighing in at 10st 7lbs so that still makes me 1lb over my upper range. I know it's not much and I know I'm really ok as I am but I just want to get back to that 10st 3lb target again.

Think you are going to have cut the syns, can't see what the problem is with your menu though. How about asking a wise one on this forum for some tips? It is frustrating suzyflo, feeling it with you.

 

[vintagepockets]

I completely understand your frustrations - especially because you've been at target before. My suggestion is to keep with it. Expect it to be slow but don't lose faith. I'm positive you'll get there but don't start depriving yourself and definitely don't let it get you down

 

[suzyflo]

Thanks Quins and Vintage Pockets, your comments help me to stay focused, I appreciate your support :thankyou:
I will stick at it, no point in going off the rails at this stage, that elusive target is almost in reach! I'll get there......eventually

What a gorgeous day it's been today, it's hard to believe that it was snowing last Sunday!

I've been out walking today and clocked up 6.5 miles, more than half way through my 100 mile walk now, slowly but surely. I also started the 30 day shred yesterday, did it again today so I'm on Level 1 day 2, it's my intention to do the shred every day, however, I'm back at work on Tuesday and I have an idea that I won't be feeling quite so motivated after a 12 hour shift!
