Not sure what I just did, trying to reply to one person, so will do it altogether until I get used to this.
Thank you for all your replies
Maybe I am expecting way too much of myself, I'm not training but I am drinking my daily allowances and more some days, to the point, I may as well move into the bathroom lol.
Im 5ft tall and weigh 10st 7, so I have around 18lb to lose but then I think that will take me another 18 weeks to lose, that's when being inpatient kicks in and I just want to run the shop for the nearest chocolate cake lol, but I promise I'll not do that.
Wait. Drinking your daily allowances? Can you clarify this?0 -
It gets harder the lighter you are. Burning calories is a lot easier (and faster) when you're 200lbs vs 150 lbs. so if you are doing the same things you did last year you can't expect the same results.
1lb a week is good for your weight0 -

I always make sure to drink 6 to 8 pints a day, sorry I didn't explain better.0 -
If you have less than 20 lbs to lose, 1 lb or .5 lb a week is a reasonable, healthy rate of loss. Be patient.
