Hi MM - my profile is out of date unfortunately!! LOL! I am actually 10stone 10lb. My first goal when at LL was 10.5 stone. I then decided to lose a little more and my new goal was 10 stone. Without really trying I lost a little more in RTM and found I was at 9st 3lbs at one point, and found myself with the novelty of having to put on weight as it was a bit low for me! So, long story short, since March I more or less maintained until August when I went away on holiday, and then put on a few pounds and found myself over 10 stone for the first time. This has then gradually crept up a little more, but then only because I am having far too many treats and wine. I need to stop this and need a complete break again to get the focus back.
I have definitely learnt lessons from LL - I know I need to get control back and not ignore it, and I am no longer 'afraid' of being hungry - in fact I quite like the feeling! I eat very differently and my tastes changed a lot. I love stuff that I hated before and eating healthily is no longer a chore. I know where I have gone wrong - I think you need to live and enjoy yourself too, but think I've gone a little bit overboard, because I can. But I've also stopped it here before 1 stone heavier becomes 4 stone!
I also can't afford to replace my wardrobe with bigger sizes.....
