I need help!

I need help too ! I'll add you!

I've lost 40lbs too but in the last couple of weeks I seem to have hit a wall and put 2 lb back on. I lost it again but I've just weighed myself and have put half a pound back on. What with Christmas coming up I don't expect to lose it, in fact I'll probably gain a few pounds. I don't intend going without over the Christmas period! I'm not gonna cry buckets over it though - even if I put 5 or 6 lb back on I will still think of the overall weight loss I've achieved. The trouble is, it's not just 2 days of feasting - already I've had a Christmas meal at work, then I've taken the service users out for a meal and we've had our works do so it's not been easy to follow the 1200 calories. The way I think about it though is, I've lost this much so I can and WILL lose some more. I will add you as a friend if that's ok and we can keep encouraging each other. One thing I have learned though is that you have to exercise, so I've got myself an exercise bike and I do 25 minutes on it most mornings whilst watching breakfast TV. That burns off 200 calories, which I try not to use if I can help it. I've also got a Zumba DVD which is only 17 minutes long but it burns off 185 calories. You've done incredibly well and you WILL lose more so please don't beat yourself up over it, and don't worry too much about sticking rigidly to your diet over Christmas, life's too short! We can always start again properly in the new year!
