  • Hi! I just wanted to say good luck and you can do it! I was almost identical to you 1 year ago. I was 39 yrs old and weighed 210lbs. I didn't want to be overweight when I turned 40. I'm now 145lbs and so much happier about myself! It really wasn't as hard as I thought either, I'm quite competitive so the more lbs I lost…

  • I am guilty of very little exercise. I've lost nearly 4 stone on reduced calories alone. I am working on upping the exercise and have been doing more toning exercises but I should probably increase the cardiovascular too!

  • Sounds like you're doing just fine to me. You can't sustain a loss of more than 2lb a week. Lower your target, aim for 2-3 stone initially, it's a lot less to get your head around. As you approach your goal you can extend it if you feel ready to.

  • Only once around my birthday which lasted a few weeks but I was still losing even if it was only 0.5lb. I've only had 1 weigh in where I've gained and it was less than 0.5lb!

  • Totally agree! I'm almost at my target of 4 stone lost since January this year, I should reach my target in about 1 month averaging 2lbs a week throughout. I've not felt hungry, I've not craved and I can actually say I've enjoyed myself! I don't exercise enough which is something I'm working on so I've mainly lost but…

  • You're right and I'm trying to keep it to 1.5-2lb a week it's just some weeks have been more for some reason. My husband has told me to up my calorie allowance so maybe I should aim for 1400-1500? I've not been hungry so not felt the need to eat more and I'm in such a good place in my head at the moment (motivated and lots…
