It really is that simple, 3 well balanced, filling meals and fruit for snacks. If I'm having a pudding, I have it instead of dinner (I love pudding) but that is only once every 4-6 weeks. Luckily for me I'm not a fan of takeaways and I can't stand fast food but cake and biscuits are my downfall so I don't have them in the house.Week 20: -2 lbs
Total: 3 stone 5 lb
No exercise again this week, but I did a lot of hobbling back and forth for appointments, so I guess that helped.
I've been thinking a lot about maintenance lately and how I will keep the weight off. One thing that's surprised me over the last 20 weeks is how well 3 meals a day, only snack on fruits has worked for me. I'd previously always worked junk food in because I felt like I needed it. Now, as long as I have hearty meals that I enjoy and keep me full, I don't really crave it. I'd like to make that my default setting, with treats/takeaways being kept to weekends/special occasions. Famous last words...
I think a big key to maintenance is having good habits and sounds like you are on the right track!Week 20: -2 lbs

Well done . Not all size 10 are equal depends on brand some come up small.My weigh day is Monday now but…had to come and say, if I’m the same then as I am today then I’ve finally beaten my lowest weight!! All those weeks posting I couldn’t lose etc, I’m over the moon.
In non scale news I bought a size 10 skirt which doesn’t fit so that’s a bit of a shitter. I think I’m about a 10 on top now but a solid 12 still on the bottom, really getting on my nerves that my hips just aren’t shifting
Thank you! Yes it was a Topshop 10, my 12 jeans from there are really loose now so I thought I might be okWell done . Not all size 10 are equal depends on brand some come up small.
Primark inconsistent.
Top shop , gap and h &m come up small.Thank you! Yes it was a Topshop 10, my 12 jeans from there are really loose now so I thought I might be ok
Definitely works for me, I have three meals a day and only need a sweet snack in the evening with my brew.so i’m making a few changes to how i’m eating atm - staying in a deficit but yesterday i had 1500 ish cals, 580 of which were snacks
today i’m aiming to have bigger meals rather than tiny meals and loads of snacks, has anyone else ever found this?
i can't eat at all after i exercise!! :OCompleted my third workout this week
The gym is having a weird effect on my appetite in that after I've worked out, I'm ravenous for food as I would expect. But in between meals I no longer feel the need to snack out of boredom, it's like something has been 'reset'.
I'm working out with a PT every week and running with a running club every week. I love it but I'm not losing any weight. I'm at 1400 calories a day, walking, running, gym etc. But the weight will not shiftWeek 9 61 days and counting
9lb lost lost 1 more lb but felt like hard slog.
Also hormones can have real effect on scales.
Tue 12 stone 11
Wed and Thursday run upto that time month 12 stone 12.
Got so pissed off yesterday thought I'm not weighing today but moved loads yesterday.
Where as Thursday it rained all day did hardly any steps and tue and wed failed meet step target.
Trying keep to 1800 cals a day
This morning weighed 12 stone 10.
Need to lose another another 5lb and get down to 12 stone 5 to have lost a whole stone and at a rate if 1lb a week 1 stone would take 14 weeks 3months basically.
So 12 stone 5 my next exiting target.
If I lost 10lb then that puts me in 11 stone bracket.
But realistically if still continued lose 1lb a week target for that will be last week of July is 10 weeks ahead.
My birthday mid July would love to have reached under 12 stone by then.
So end July to lose 10lb
End October Halloween to lose another 14 lb a stone which would put me at 10 stone 13lb in another stone bracket and maybe Xmas day new years maybe nearing target of 9 and a half stone.
just seems daunting but guess new year to hit target makes sense.
next summit I will have toned summer body.
Been making time sort wardrobe out and watch you tube style videos in clothes that flatter a larger or mid sized figure and got rid loads and made a small shopping list that hoping can find some at charity shops.
I deserve to feel and look good now whatever size I am.
Going to buy myself a treat once I reach that stone lost.
I think I need to do more high impacts exercise.
Seriously thinking of joining the gym maybe few sessions with personal trainer.
Any good recommendations beginner's on you tube for
Hitt sessions that focus on tummy.
Also any weight or strength at home beginners workout.
Something doesn’t sound quite right there, if you’re eating 1400 calories a day and truly tracking that so know for sure that’s what you’re eating & you are also exercising/walking etc then you should be in a calorie deficit and therefore losing weight. Unless there’s a medical issue that’s preventing you from losing weight everyone should lose in a deficit.I'm working out with a PT every week and running with a running club every week. I love it but I'm not losing any weight. I'm at 1400 calories a day, walking, running, gym etc. But the weight will not shiftI'm a size 8 but a stone overweight since having a baby and feeling crap about my size. I think what I'm saying is you will probably love working out with a PT but it might not make a massive difference to your weight loss. Losing weight is soo hard!!
