Accepting that we are all different and our advice doesn't necessarily apply to everybody I do believe that we can share common experiences. I decided that I was overweight nearly two years ago. It was obvious. I decided to try to lose weight and to treat it as a project. I either abstained or cut down dramatically on the usual suspects, added sugar, biscuits, sweets, chocolates and lost nearly tirty pounds. Hurrah you might say but I simply could not reach my target of 12 stone. My body is now quite old and I am not fit enough to exercise without damaging myself. I hit the wall. And remained at 12 1/2 stone even on around 1200kcal a day. I realised that weight loss becomes more difficult as it progresses. It's a bit like keeping a car stationary on a steep hill using the clutch alone. It is so easy to slip back. I found that I got rather fed up with the situation and couldn't motivate myself. It's as if we are on a journey and forget what why we wanted to reach our destination. Sorry, this is all a bit wordy. I suggest that you are in a very natural place. It's all a part of weight control. The battle does not end. I am now trying to set a smaller target for weight loss and I am seriously thinking about getting some advice or counselling from a registered dietition.
Thanks for the advice about setting smaller targets never thought of that. I'm going to give it a try. You said you have got older now, as i am 56 the pounds are certainly harder to shift.I used to cycle 15km every day on the exercise bike while watching television had to sit on two cushions
Hi Gwen. I hope you are well. I am in a similar situation as I lost about 2 st and after lots of problems in my relationship and final split with my partner I went back to my previous weight. Weather is getting better now so there is a lot of opportunities for losing weight but there is also flip site as barbecue season has just started and resisting the temptation will be difficult.
My favorite time for losing weight is after Christmas or Easter then I can see fastest results on my scale
