Firstly, thank you to all the kind comments.
Now to answer some of your questions;
How did I do it?
At my heaviest, I was 25 and a half stone, which meant I had a calorie allowance of 2800 cals a day. I When I started recording what I was actually eating I realised that things needed to change and when I changed high sugar and high salt foods for more healthy foods and cooked entirely from scratch I found that I really needed no where near 2800 cals. I also started balancing my food with the right balance of carbs, protein, fats etc. I think that's the thing - sometimes we don't think eating things like Fats are good for us but they are a part of a healthy life style and it's just about knowing about good fats over bad fats and everything in moderation. I am amazed at how much of my weight loss is diet alone, but I do walk more and have have become a bit more active each month. I do also swim (but not as much as I feel I should)!
How tall am I?
I'm 6ft tall. Currently I have a waist size of 47 inches. I really want to get my waist size down to something like 36 inches. I do think clothes help to make me look slimmer than I actually am (although I do realise I've lost a lot already). I used to have a stomach size of 58 inches. So when I say I need to lose another 5 or 6 stone - that's rather an estimate based on BMI and other things but I know I might not have to lose that.
Any secrets to weight loss
None at all - just having a better understanding of what I'm putting into my body and what different foods do etc. I find sugar free jelly is a good food to fill a hole when you're really hungry but don't need a high cal intake.0 -
