This time I will do it!!...

I have thought about it hun but I seem to have this number stuck in my head that I want to be and I don't really want to stop til I get there.
Equally though I'm starting to worry less over how long it will take to get me there. As long as I don't gain anymore than what I am now then I'm happy to plod along with the rest.

Maybe I'll do this September challenge and then re-think it x
 
Good on ya for throwing the scales - your so right about the pressure we put on ourselves. They do become an unhealthy obsession.

I know what you mean about your target cos thats exactly what ive been saying - i want to get to 11 stones and feel ive failed if I dont.
 
Exactly! That's exactly how I feel.
I think once that number is in our head, it's difficult to call a stop before that point.

I've probably gained a fair bit over the last few days so I'm guessing I have 12-14lbs left to lose.
When I think of it like that, there's not that much left. I could do it.

Will try to do my 100% September and then will see where I am and re-think it if needed. X
 
Ive got 12.5lb to get to where I wanna be - then may change it when I get there. Ive not written anything down this week and im trying to mix things up a bit see if it makes a difference - fingers crossed
 
We're both in the same place - same to lose...

Anything is worth a try hun. I thought about combining SW with 5:2 but am worries fasting days may lead to a binge.
Have been the same since March -losing and gaining the same 5lbs. May give it a go to see if I can break that barrier x

My dad lost 4 stone on the 5:2 diet. He didn't do a full fast day really but it did work for him.

He would have his main meal early on an evening and start his fast at let's say 7pm...then the day after he skipped breakfast but had a cuppa and then at a late dinner time he had beans on toast...drank lots of water during the day too and ended his fast after 7pm but he never binged. Often had a pasta dish or one with rice (sounds very green SW day to me) It actually sounded like some of my eating habits apart from I would prob b drinking coke and eating biscuits all day!!

Anyway it took him about 6 months to lose 4 stone and on the other days he kinda ate what he wanted! I can't say its not worth a try!! X
 
May be worth considering then! Well done to your Dad.

Will do September and then see - I'll be desperate come October as I want to be target by Nov when we go on hols lol x

I like the idea of not stressing about what you eat for 5 days but I no the fast days would lead to me binging

Well done to ya dad though

I know what ya mean about having a number in ya head I think myns unrealistic but if I can't get to it ill feel disappointed.
