I've lost 16lbs! I've got another 24lbs or so to shift but I'm SO HAPPY with my loss so far. It's been gradual over 5 months. I started with low carb but I struggle on that as I'm veggie and I end up eating loads of cream and cheese. I.posted in here a little while ago because my weight was static at around 183lbs and some helpful posters told me where I was going wrong. I'm now counting calories, which I was quite reluctant to do, and exercising 5/6 days a week, drinking loads of water and seeing my weight steadily and slowly keep dropping again. I'm 179lbs as of this morning.
Thanks to all the informative posters on here - been a huge part of my reeducation!
Onwards and downwards!
