To be happy at being under 11stone for the first time since 2014?

I'm a shorter than average women and for the past 5 years have been obese - hovering around 13stone (I'm 5ft1). I've felt uncomfortable, my mental health has suffered as I could never seem to stick to a diet and exercise plan. In 2020 I've made a determined effort to lose weight and feel I'm finally making some progress at last.
I didn't have a good night's sleep so don't feel the best this morning just wanted to shamelessly post this to cheer myself up.

How did you lose it?

YADNBU! Congratulations, that's fantastic! Especially under lockdown when it's so easy to pile it on. Well done you!

Standrewsschool · 30/05/2020 11:33

Congratulations on loosing the weight!

seriousandloyal · 30/05/2020 11:34

Well done you, keep going!

Boomclaps · 30/05/2020 11:36

Woohoo well done!!
When I am dieting and I reach a target I treat myself to some luxury fruit.
Like I can afford apples and satsumas and grapes and carrots & cucumber etc normally but if I am celebrating I’ll go for berries or watermelon or mango or something maybe some Romano pepper things and hummus. Healthy but treats!

Congrats again! 🥰

If anyone is after watermelon treat, the foreign shops now have the oval ones. SO GOOD. So freaking good

Give yourself a lovely treat today Star

Thelnebriati · 30/05/2020 12:22

Well done! Star
Do you mind me asking what worked for you? I do calorie counting, weights and cardio but every so often I get 'stuck' and after a recent big loss thats happened again.

ShennaIsAPrawnCracker · 30/05/2020 12:31

Nice one OP. Really chuffed for you Smile

Wonderingwhy27 · 30/05/2020 12:33

Yes OP!! Fantastic job! Must feel so good to have achieved this especially with lockdown! Smile

feelingverylazytoday · 30/05/2020 12:35

Well done, OP. I lost weight myself, it's taken me years, but it's so worth it. Just keep at it, even if you have ups and downs.

SmallPinkBear · 30/05/2020 13:03

Well done you!!! That is my current target weight, I can’t wait to reach it, you have done brilliantly
