Now to Stablise

[eve9]

Have being on a healthy eating plan since November and am finally at goal. I have lost 2 stone in total and now weight 10.11lbs. Not that it matters but bmi 24.2. Can easilt fit into size 12 and summer wardrobe not a struggle anymore. I have being here many times before so really hope I can maintain this time as I find this the hardest bit. Hope everyone having a great week.

Oh well done Eve, what a fantastic achievement!

I've never managed to maintain, but it seems, listening to our esteemed maintainers, that sticking around the forum keeps them accountable and therefore on top of any small gains.

Wishing you all the very best

I've been maintaining a while - it can be done! I kept up pretty much everything except calorie counting. So kept the exercise going, portion control, plenty of fruit and veg and weekly weigh ins. I recommend staying in the weight loss mind set a little longer while at the same time celebrating your amazing achievement. Slowly add in a few relaxed moments here and there, an afters you wouldn't normally have, a couple of drinks with friends, but don't make too many changes at once. I also recommend doing everything you can to embrace your new figure. I've also reached a size 12, I'm far from perfect, but so pleased to be here. Great new clothes, generally looking after your appearance, doing your hair nicely, fun accessories, new bits of sports kit etc will all help you stay constantly conscious of what you've achieved and how important it is not to put the weight back on. Oh and keep posting on here. Good luck!

Whoop whoop 😊🎉😊 well done eve9  

I have been at goal twice but not maintained as they were not the right eating plans for me, thus time I am more optimistic 😊 (Although not at goal yet)

Very best wishes, lots of positive posts on here, maintenance is achievable 😊 Good luck
