This time two years ago I weighed more than I ever have before in my adult life, I was a whopping 15 stone and 10 pounds, that’s 220 pounds — and I am only 5 foot tall — I was biiiiig.
I am currently weighing in at 10 stone 9 pounds and am well on my way to getting to my goal weight.
I have lost the weight the slow and sensible way. I work out 5 days a week and consume around 1400 calories a day. It can be really frustrating losing it this way, because I can go literally months without losing any thing — but I also think it’s the most sensible way to do it because it’s a sustainable life style change. I have no fears that I will suddenly come off the ‘diet’ and pile all the weight back on.
I give myself mini goals as they help keep me motivated, my next mini goal is 10 stone 5 pounds — this will put me in the same stone as I was 5 years ago when the husband and I got together and it will mean I have lost a total of 75 pounds.
I am unsure of my main goal weight — according to statistics my ideal weight is around 7 stone 7 pounds but that seems insane to me, I think I will be happy at about 9 stone 9 pounds but I guess I just have to get there and wait and see how I feel.
