I have been a chronic yoyo dieter since I was 14 (31 now). I have a thyroid problem, under active, which meant I gained 3 stone in a year and it is still with me!
I have tried loads of diets. I had a lot of success with low carb (Atkins), but it made me binge like crazy and seemed to affect mental health.
I gave birth 4 weeks ago and weigh 16st 8lbs at 5ft 7. I was 15st 7lbs before I got pregnant.
I am sick of crazy dieting mentality and want to lose weight slowly and permanently. I am hoping to do this with exercise - I love resistance training and am keen to get back to playing roller derby. Diet wise I want to do the minimum so I don't release the crazy and also because I am breastfeeding.
At the moment I am eating too much grabable sugary crap because still living a bit chaotically with the baby. I'd like to try intuitive eating again.
Anyone else trying to lose slowly? I am aiming for a lb a fortnight. Which sounds lame but I've lost loads of weight quickly before and it always returns!
