I am a small person, but I am carrying hip and thigh pudge. I want to lose 8 more pounds so I can fit into my summer dresses, which didn't fit me last summer either.
I think my fatty thighs are hard to slim down, because the pudge has been there for over a year. My thighs and bum feel cold to the touch!
After the diet, I reckon if I eat normally
(each day: 1 toast and butter, 1 sandwich, 2 fruits, a sensible supper, 1 glass of wine)
then I will gain weight. How do you eat only 1484 calories, which is what my total daily energy expenditure calculates to be? Never eat out, never have scones or syrup sponge or even pizza, and give up red wine and chocolate completely?
I have been on a diet and have lost slowly, only 1 or 2 pounds a week. I have missed my period and wonder if this is connected to dieting.
I don't like exercise much and have been really tired on the diet, but once a week I try to walk or jog.
Will I have to severely calorie control to lose the last bit of weight?
How do I motivate myself for the hardest last push to lose the next 8 pounds? How do others get on with getting to their target weight and not just stopping with half a stone to go? Can anyone tell me if its slower to lose when you aren't very heavy, and why that might be?
Thank you. It's harder to ask for advice because I am only pudgy and not fat, and it's more boring to talk about the small gains (but will mean so much to me if I achieve it and will halt the year on year dress size increase!).
