Please help! I seem to be on the Anti Diet

[ObviouslyOblivious]

I've been doing WW since April last year and have lost 3.5 stone. I'm so happy, I have a new wardrobe of clothes that fit and I look good.

I got to 9st 6, my target was always 9st but I keep getting comments like "oh you really shouldn't lose any more weight", so I've kind of ground to a halt.

So I'm in kind of a weird place. I'm still technically on the diet, but doing it extremely half heartedly and am basically feeling guilty about anything that I eat which is more than the diet allowed IYSWIM. And I'm also allowing a few bad habits to sneak in and am snacking a bit more.

Sorry for rambling, I'm just worried that I'm going to sabotage all my good efforts. I think I need to crack on and lose the final few pounds and see if I really do look to thin.

It's always a bit difficult to comment when you can't see what someone looks like, but I would be inclined to stick at your initial goal.
I'm always a bit wary when the comments about "you shouldn't lose any more weight" start appearing. You do get the odd friend saboteur who will be only too happy to watch you gradually pile the weight back on.
Oh and bloody well done! Keep Happy!

Thanks Isla! I'm definitely going to make an effort now to get to goal and see how I look/feel.
The people who've made comments aren't really close enough to me to want to be competitive if you know what I mean?

I think it's sometimes more about people being worried that you are not happy with yourself,despite being a healthy weight. I know my friends aren't competitive at all but they worry about me worrying ifswim-specially because although I'm carrying a few extra pounds im not technically overweight. I think concentrate on getting to goal if that's what you want to do but maybe reduce rate of lose so that you can eat more 'normally' and don't beat yourself up about treats occasionally-it'll be more sustainable that way. Well done on your loss though

You've done great! I totally understand your fears about putting weight on. To a certain extent, you are very likely to put on weight if you go off the diet. WW is quite safe and healthy to stay on - not just as a diet, but as an "eating plan", if you know what I mean.

Depending on your height, perhaps 9st 6 is a good weight for you, I weigh the same, but in the autumn I was 9st and the weight loss was showing on my boobs, not good, as they were already very small! Just a warning that may not be applicable to you.

Do you exercise at all? If not, perhaps you could start, so that you build muscle and not just lose weight? A slim body just looks so much better if it is toned. I would recommend a kettle bell (try Amazon), as it doesn't take up much space, is not too expensive, and you only need to use it 30 min twice a week. Look up Timothy Feriss' advice on kettle bells swings. I have one myself (I have a 16 kg kettle bell, although you should probably get a smaller one, if you are new to exersicing), and I love it, it tones your bum and abs with minimal effort very quickly and is very easy to use.

I'm 5'2", so 9st 6 is just inside the healthy bmi. I walk the dogs twice a day (about 90 mins total) and run occasionally, and push DS in the buggy too!
