End of week 2

[Sd33]

Start: 13st 11lbs

Week 1: 13st 10lbs

Week 2: 13st 7.5lbs

2.5lbs lost this week - really pleased, much better than last week even though I've been doing much the same, perhaps it takes a while to get the ball rolling. I feel like this week is going to be tough - I have a stinking cold and would like nothing more than curling up with a packet of maltesers in front of the TV! I'm sticking to the grapes and strawberries though... Fingers crossed I'm better by Sunday as I'm running the Bristol 10k.... eek!

That is good steady progress, slowly means you are more likely to achieve your goal and KEEP IT OFF. So many people fail because they want to see a stone off in a fortnight or whatever, then they give up because it doesn't happen

I lost my excess 2 stone over 9 months, slowly ! And Im now maintaining my goal weight , BMI 23, and buying my new size 12 summer clothes. The best part is that I still eat cake, chocolate, wine but I now know when to stop and I allow for it in my weekly total. I still watch what I eat , but I only weigh myself twice a month now.

Good luck with your progress.

Thank you for the reply! Sometimes it does feel a bit slow going but when I think of it as loosing the 2 and a half stone by October it certainly doesn't seem too slow. Congratulations on your weight loss! I'd love to feel a bit lighter for summer and that's whats pushing me through. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels! It's good to know you can still have the odd indulgence, but like you say knowing when to stop or say no is the key!
