lost 3 stone last year with cambridge, made the mistake of coming off it before goal and never got there

i maganed to get to 11 stone, 7lbs above target which i thought was ok and i wasnt too bothered about reaching a the healthy weight as my bmi was 26 ish.

However, aweeks of stress at work and tiredness from toddler means i have been comfort eating/over eating again! and i am now 11,10 on my scales.

This really scares me as i dont want to be 12 stone ever again

i know i need to contorl this long term but what can i do short termt o boost my confidence/fit into my summer clohtes

i have done ww points, cabbage soup etc etc and always seem to self sabotage within a week

need a kick up the bum and sensible plan i can stick to, not necessarily counting calories or cutting out certain foods eg bread, altho can see it ay be a good idea to cut out chcolate crisp etc

I am actually really proud of myself. I only had ONE cookie - woohoo! normally I would have had about 5 and a load of the dough :D Didn't snack at all yesterday.

How was your day yesterday?

WIll you be coming back to the thread after your holiday fimbles? (if so, I'll make sure it's kept bumped up) It'll be like I'm talking to myself lol

Definately I'll be back, I am always trying to lose weight and need all the help I can get. If you need some company whilst we are away hop across to the (Need to lose two stone - Starting September thread) we have been going almost a year and Fedda is fantastic, she will keep you motivated and has some great recipe ideas. She has inspired me and by Easter of this year I had managed to lose the two stone, unfortunately have now gained half a stone hence trying to lose this to get back to goal. I am sure she will keep you on track whilst I am away. Fantastic work with the cookies by the way - I don't think I would have been able to resist.

Ok then, Great stuff, will keep this one bumped up for your return lol.

I'll hop across to the other thread too I most certainly always need a boot in the backside!

Where are you off on hols to by the way?

Had another good day today, healthy all round. No snacking and haven't eaten the entire contents of the cupboards! lol. And managed to do about 20 mins of excerise.

How about you?
