Looks like this bus ride may be over soon.

Well, despite (or because of?) of a rather chaotic and stressful home move - which should really have been pretty straight-forward, but wasn't - I've slightly got ahead of my weight loss schedule.

I'm afraid my eating and exercise regimes (and sleep patterns too) have been shot to pieces over the last couple of weeks, but whatever ...

Anyhow, I'm now under 13 stone (just!), so about another 2.5 Kgs and it'll be time to get off the weight loss bus and get on board the weight maintenance/ keep-it-off bus.

But I haven't 'comfort' eaten and everything has been too frantic for any 'boredom' eating.

So, that says to me that the real basis of it all is about getting into some sensible moderate eating habits, (and out of some bad ones!) which, five months on, I have pretty much done.

Good luck with your weight loss journeys.

Congratulations! You have achieved what I am looking to do. Change my bad habits into good healthy ones and really understand my relationship with food so that I make better choices for myself long term.

Its tough getting it right all the time but I think I'm getting better at each day. This forum cetainly helps.

Well done and let us know how the maintenance goes once you're there.

HI SVR28,

No-one gets it right all the time! What matters is to get into the right habits so that you get it mostly right, most of the time.

And yes, I'd certainly admit that it is a 'learning curve' - I've got to understand so much more about my relationship with food than I did six months ago!

Good luck with your weight loss journey.

HI Lowcal,

Thanks for that.

This may seem odd, but even I can't quite believe how much slimmer my body is!

I look more like a professional dancer or something like that, rather than a professional chips and chocolate eater!

This put a smile on my face,

Well done with your weight loss and good luck maintaining it.

Well done Doikosp you must feel great. How much have you lost in Stones & pounds? I'm hopeless with kilos.

[Hidden in reply to tubby2]

I make it about 3 st 9 lbs - I' ve got about another 5 or 6 lbs to get to "normal" BMI.

I just want you to know that you've been a real inspiration to me over the last 10 weeks and when I've been having my down moments, I could come on here and read your posts of sensible advise & down to earth solutions. Thank you.

Over the past 6 months you've created a new, better & healthier relationship with food that will last a life time.

Be proud of yourself, we certainly are.
