Got there/here!
01 Aug 2013, 11:45
Well it's been about four months and today I reached my target which is two stone less than my starting weight. I'd reached the point where I thought I was doomed to be not terribly overweight but hefty and out-of-control and unhappy- a woman in her fifties who was tall enough to 'pass' as ok but really felt like it was all pretty much over in the looks department. I'd tried to say to myself that caring about that was shallow but what a joy to be able to dress for fun and even flit about the house with nothing on (when there are no guests, you'll be relieved to know) feeling like this body is ok.

On a more serious note, I do feel that this approach to eating has helped me get over the boom or bust (32E and growing at one time) diets and to feel I can make choices like those 'naturally slim' people who enjoy but aren't driven by food. Now I plan to keep going a little longer- trip to food capital of the world (Malaysia) coming up so I may need a little slack in the system...then I'll be seeing if I can maintain!

A big thank you to everyone here, and especially Moogie and Caro Rees whose support really helped me get here. :heart: And keep going and enjoy it to everyone else :clover:

Thanks Silverdarling. And it didn't feel like a diet most of the time so I suspect I will keep going with 5:2 but add more treats occasionally.

Congratualtions! Excellent weightloss and I'm so encourged by seeing that is actually are working the whole way even if you don't are extremly overweight.

I have about the same to loose (11,1 kg) and everything is going well more than half way there but lately I've started to feel a little bit impatient (4,5 kg left). :roll: I try to devide it into smaller chunks but I just want to be there nooooowww.

Anyhow thanks for sharing this and I'll just keep calm and carry on... :neutral:

Hi, my first post on here. I just wanted to say congratulations on reaching your goal Anaria, it's great to hear from people who've reached their goal weight and are now happy with their bodies. It's great motivation for the rest of us who are still on our way down but will also be there one day as long as we stick with it!

Well done, that's a great achievement. I will be there too one day, though might reach 60 before it happens.
