Thanks for all your lovely words.
I wasn't fishing for compliments. Infact I was a moaning to myself about how slow the weight loss was this time. But then I had a thought.
At the beginning of April I was 15st 2. Went on a crash diet before my Easter holiday and on the way home came across BIWI's pre Bootcamp thread. I started on 26th April at 14st 12. By my summer holiday at the start of July I was down to around 13 st. I more or less maintained this weight over the summer and started this Bootcamp on 1st October at that weight. Today I weighed in at 12st 6. If I can manage to lose 4 lbs in the next few weeks that will be 3 stone in 9 months.
It's hardly an earth shattering loss, but it is significant. It is certainly the most amount of consistent weight loss I have had in my adult life. If you lose a pound a week that is 52 pounds a year or 3 st 10lbs.
The best part is that I have lost this weight by eating, amongst other things, steak, salmon, cheese, cream and lovely veg. Not forgetting the nuts, dark choc and wine. Then there has been the occasional piece of nan or crusy bread, the odd spoonful of rice, the exquisite pudding etc. And lets not forget about those times when I have thought oh F it, and had the fish and chips or fudge cake!
In fact, when you look at the food I have had, you would think I should have put on about 3 stone.
I reckon I still have around 2 stone to lose. It doesn't really matter how long this takes because I know that it will happen and I know that I will have a really enjoyable time doing it.
