I'm unaccustomedly proud of myself weight wise! 🤗

[JFDIYOLO]

I'm so pleased - 2 summers ago I hit my heaviest ever, 15.5 stone. I'd settled into a lovely but sedentary contract and got into breakfast pastry / meal deal / afternoon cake / big dinner / treat habit and finally made myself get on the scales. The shock ...

Lost a few pounds then lost heart. Fast forward to this July and felt I should pick it up again, then found I'd dropped a few more. Encouraged again!

Counting the loss since it began, I'm down two stone, a jeans size and a bra size - about 1.5 stone to go.

I sort of plateaued over the last month without much coming off, but my new jeans feel and look so nice that I feel it's real milestone achieved. And I'm seeing them as interim jeans, intending to be in another size down and my target weight of 12 stone before new year.

@JFDIYOLO I just wanted to say thank you. I am just at the start of another weight loss attempt and have been doing the thinking today. It’s hard to believe I can actually do it but reading your posts makes me realise that it’s in my hands. I have 3 stone to lose but I can do this and I’m determined to be an active granny.

@midlifeshenanigans Well done!!! And absolutely do start with the thinking. Visualise you at your ideal weight, how you'll feel and look, and how much healthier you'll be in your later life, how much more active and involved you'll be.

Consider any health problems that will be improved with weight loss ( I had a slipped disc a long time ago and feel
SO much better for being lighter).

Make these images very strong and vivid and play them in your mind often, especially when you're considering what to eat.

Also so your food shop in person or online when you aren't hungry so you don't impulse buy.

This is a project, and a one way trip down to the destination you want. Plan that trip!
