BEBE sorry to hear your throat hurts, have a gargle with salt water
TRIMMER no maintence plan, just hard work and keeping an eye on it - still weighed every week and if had put on a lb or 2, i would then eat 20p for next 2 days to counter balance it
after a while i weighed monthly as didnt want to get obsessive - if i wanted a pizza, i would eat it, but then good for next few days etc
i swapped all my stuff for low fat, ie diet coke/low fat flora/salad cream light - it really did make a difference - it is also portion size, it may be healty, ie homemade spag bol, but i was having far too big portions - again doing ww made me see that
60g pasta/rice is enough - where i was prob having at least double if not 3 times that
i also was a bit of a pint girl, and now i drink wine or gin&slim
i also give away ALL my size 18 clothes to charity, so again when my clothes got tight, i knew i needed to diet as my size 12's were tight - so i cut back, pointed my food and lost the few lbs that crept on - and stayed like that for 5ish years
i didnt want to buy a size 14 (tho did once or twice ) and i just thought if i didnt do it now, i would be back to where i was 7years ago - fat
some of my 12's fit, others are bloody tight and some (like my soooooooooooooooo sexy suede trousers) dont fit
tbh i am prob a 14/15 - but clothes stretch
