I've got 3 1/2 stone to lose, and seem to have platoud already, was doing quite well to this week.
Over the last year only lost about a stone, as each time went on holiday put back on the stone had worked hard to get off. The year before (2) years ago I lost about 6 stone after having emergency surgery operation when very ill. Had another surgery operation before xmas, which put me back a bit and I put on over a stone, I have taking over 1/2 of it off. So still got 3 1/2 stone to go. But determined I will do it this year. However feel I need support and encouragement.

Being on a plateau is still better than gaining weight, maud A stone in one year is great progress and you know you can do this because you have done it before. Take it one step at a time and just remember to be consistent and that you're in it for life, not just a quick loss. Best of luck!
Good luck with your journey. Try to think of it as changing to opting for healthier lifestyle choices and forget the word diet and time it takes. Its taken me years of 'dieting' to realise that to loose weight and just as important to keep it off, that this is for life! Nobody is going to be perfect all the time obviously but its an unfortunate fact that majority of the time you have to eat the right things then you can get away with the odd naughtiness rather than being either on or off a diet. Trust me l have learnt this lesson the hard way through endless attempts and disappointments. You are in great company on here. Lots of support and invaluable advice, use it and succeed.
