It sounds to me like you are losing too quickly. Slow down!!! You don't want to boomerang back up as soon as you stop dieting.

In all honesty I am a massive comfort eater, I just love food. My husband spends so much time away with the army, and I tend to snack constantly but having reached 15st 5.5 I had enough. So on a low cal diet 3 sensible uber healthy meals a day,3litres of water a day and I take a multivitamin every night. I haven't had pop,tea/coffee,snacks or chocolate at all be super strict and I am so greedy if I start. I had two weeks off after week four as went to Austria and I ate what I wanted whenever and gained a pound,so was pleased to get bk on it last week!!! I don't have time for exercise as so busy. Thanks for your lovely comment....how's ur journey going? X

I get weighed with my nurse every week,and record what I eat. She said it's enough for me and I am getting everything I need. I feel better that I ever have, I have loads more energy. I knew it would come off quick to begin with but I am under no illusion I know it will slow down now. It won't boomerang back on as I have made a lifestyle change and am determined to change my relationship with food forever!!!
