The picture was my chart I kept in my kitchen to keep track of and give motivation for my weight loss! My version of a marble in a jar visual chart! On the fat-to-go section I used to add 14 pieces of paper representing 14lbs, or a one stone goal at a time.
Now I have reached my goal I am going to make a new chart! This one is going to be a traffic light system. Between 9st and 9-4 will be green light and I can have my full weekly calorie limits!
Between 9st 4 and 9stone 6 will be Amber! And I will add a fast day of just 900 calories one day of the week to hopefully quickly get back to my green zone lol. Over 9st 6lbs will be red - back to over weight and I will revert to the calorie plans I've been using up until now and one fast day.
I also set myself the challenge of keeping within my maintain range for a year! So this day next year will be my anniversary of this challenge! I just need to think up some rewards now! Perhaps a monthly reward if I stay under 9st 6lbs for the whole month!

Well done CrimsonMama that is a great achievement - and an excellent strategy to get there! I also like you new plan for maintaining, very sensible because when we reach our goal it can be easy to relax and slip back into old ways. I am having difficulty staying within my ‘ideal’ range (although I am still a healthy BMI), so if you don’t mind I will pinch your strategy if it’s ok with you? Even our weight range is identical so should work well for me. XXX
I’m so pleased to see you reach your target CrimsonMama 😊👍👏. Are you going to join the Maintainers Club? It’s due to be posted tomorrow for September 😊
