It has been a while since I contributed anything, so I thought I would I would start by stating my original aim was to get to 80 Kilos (around 12 stone 8 pounds), which is what I was before I got ill some sixteen years ago. During 2020 I managed to reach the heaviest I have been as an adult, 94.8 Kilos (14 stone 13 pounds).

Thank you to Minniewinny’s constant encouragement, and the many other posts I have read, I am happy to say I am now back on track, being only 83 kilos (13 stone 1 pound). I started back on the 4th August 2020 to walk once again and watch my calory intake. I know it is a marathon, not a race, but I feel I am heading back in the right direction once again.

Sorry for letting myself down, and here is a song for those who are looking for some encouragement …

Now that you're out of my life

I'm so much better

You thought that I'd be weak without you

But I'm stronger

You thought that I'd be broke without you

But I'm richer

You thought that I'd be sad without you

I laugh harder

You thought I wouldn't grow without you

Now I'm wiser

Thought that I'd be helpless without you

But I'm smarter

You thought that I'd be stressed without you

But I'm chillin'

You thought I wouldn't sell without you

Sold 9 million

I'm a Survivor (What?)

I'm not gon' give up (What?)

I'm not gon' stop (What?)

I'm gon' work harder (What?)

I'm a Survivor (What?)

I'm gonna make it (What?)

I will survive (What?)

Keep on survivin' (What?)

Well done and thanks for the strong words . Weather doesn’t help but I keep warm with a hour in front of lounge TV with You Tube Zumba and it is working . The 2kg binge at Xmas has gone . Lost it doing 8 hours of Zumba plus upping my walking as my legs are painful but breathe through 3 miles . Eating about 1400 Cals. Back to 62kg and buzzing .

Excellent and well done ... I started at 1600 calories and whilst that started the loss, I levelled off after about eight weeks so I too dropped down to 1400 calories a day. I find that does it for me . I know we are all different and am always told males should be 2500 calories a day, with 2000 a day to lose weight. I personally would be 20 stone (127 kilos) in no time if I was eating 2500 calories a day!

Like I say we are all different, so good luck with your target, and remeber it is a lifestyle change. By the way, you look fantastic whatever you wiegh.

I did it for health reasons too . I am not comfortable physically or mentally being very large as at 5 ft 1 my height goes against me . My friend who is a lot taller than me looks fantastic but I couldn't believe it when she told me her weight . We just need to be comfortable for us . I use calories as a guide as 1400 can be spent on rubbish or decent food . I portion size and menu plan too which helps . Try and stick to 3 good meals say,350 , 350 , 600 plus 100 for drinks etc . Just very simple so I tend to buy the same range of food every 5 days . Like you say - a lifestyle not a diet.

Not what you're looking for?
