Kerry and Terri thankyou soo much xxxxx I cannot wait to crack the last 5/6 stone and add my end result pic

Hi Neen, are you still moving down the scales or have you completely stalled?

 

[Neen]

At the moment I am the same but I did regain half a stone round August and have just about got it back off again.
It's my own fault because I am treating myself at the weekends and behaving in the week.
Trouble is , because I am a bit smaller, the amount of treats I can "get away" with is a lot smaller than I would like it to be so I sometimes don't lose any in a week.

I am determined to plug away at it though and hope that I can get on this week and lose some so I can move my ticker down to a new lowest weight.

What I cannot afford to do is give in to feeling failure...because I am not going to keep trying til I find the combination of food and exercise that snaps me into some good results.

Hi Neen how much have you let now - you look great xx

 

[Neen]

Hey hun, I stayed the same most of last year well I lost and regained a bit actually. However, hoping very much to get under 200lbs at least this year!! I think I finally have my comfort eating solved which is what slowed me down, so any coping strategies I have picked up I can pass on to you lot xxx

Thank you Jan! My weight loss has been very slow by most standards on here and I often feel like a bit of a failure when I compare with how fast some people are shedding the pounds, however, I will keep plugging away as I feel a lot more normal looking now and definately have better mobility etc.Thanks hun xxx hugs xx

Wow Neen you are one gorgeous girl! BUT did you really say that you feel a failure compared to others? You've lost 130lbs - that is such an achievement. Yeah you still have more weight you want to lose but slow and steady wins the race AND you're probably less likely to regain the weight. You look fab and if you keep working hard I'm afraid there is something you're going to have to accept... it may take a while but when you reach that goal weight, you are going to be a knock out x

 

[Neen]

Thankyou hun! I definately have been on an up and down journey !
I have slowed down a lot as I comfort eat/compulsive eat etc and had quite a lot of times where I have felt sorry for myself and unable to get any further.
I think lately though I have accepted that I can't eat what I want and still lose weight and I hope I have found a happy compromise now.
Still have around 6 stone ish to go, not sure how much of that is realistic to shift as I am well into the 40's now so I guess there's a limit !
Thankyou for your lovely comments , I definately needed cheering up this evening xxxxx

Neen u r GAWJUS! u look way younger in ur recent phot.

cant wait to lose weight...im the youngest in the 'mums group' at school but everyone thinks im one of the eldest!

bring on the band!

 

[Neen]

Well anything we can do to help you , I know we will try xxx

 

[msunique]

Hi Neen

You are doing really well xx yes you say you still have 6 stone to lose but you will get there!! It might be taking you a little longer as you have had your old eating habits creeping back, BUT you know this and can address it so now you are ready to move on and tackle the next stage.

Ok you had a blip BUT you are still 130lb down so thats still a huge step in the right direction and will continue to give you the boost you need to get the weight shifting again,

Goo luck xx

Thankyou very much Debbie x I sort of faffed around a lot last year and I am cross with myself!
I tend to comfort eat out of anxiety (two autistic kids = very anxious all the time!) and hopefully I am beating that now. I am hoping to really crack on this year and help anyone else who has the emotional eating issues as well as that never gets fixed with surgery alone!
