Britney's Back!

So basically I am back after many months of being off the wagon. Feb 2013 I started 5:2 and lost the most weight I have ever lost on a diet (well, the only substantial weight I have ever lost on a diet) and was over the moon! I had a bad few weeks during my finals for Uni, and basically let it all go. I then went to America for a few months and put on all the weight, and then some. When I came back I tried 5:2 but my heart wasn't really in it. I then tried Slimming World but it didn't really work for me (I think SW is best for people who have an unhealthy diet to start with; I don't really) SO now have decided to get back on the wagon and start 5:2 again! It's the only diet thats ever worked for me and I find it relatively easy only things that get me are:
1) Not overeating on eating days!! Stick to 1600-1800 calories, and only eat until full/satisfied, not just to finish whats on the plate!
2) Not underestimating calories on fast days - measure stuff and weigh stuff so I know exactly what I'm getting.
So my stats are:
Start weight: 11st 4.5lbs
Goal 1: Under 11 stone!
Goal 2: 10st 10lb
Goal 3: 10st 6lb
Goal 4: 10st
Goal 5: 9st 10 < ultimate goal weight!
I'm 5ft 5 ish so that would be a nice healthy weight for me.
Got my first fasting day tomorrow, have planned to have a cuppa soup for lunch (trying to eat this as late as possible), then a nice big chicken salad for tea. 500 calories, no problem!
Lets hope this time it lasts, because I'm going to see my OH in 4 weeks and would love to be under 11st to see him! I am determined!!
