Hi guys!
I joined up here early this year, and my aim was to lose 4 stone initially, I've only managed 2 and a half, whilst I know this isn't hitting my target, nowhere near, I'm glad I've lost some and it's going in the right direction.
It doesn't seem a year ago that I started this diet lark, it's flown by, and to be honest it's been a REALLY hard year, personally. I've overcome a lot, learnt and lot and while my weightloss has kind of slipped, I feel so much better mentally, to tackle this head on. I'm determined that 2008 will be better for me. I'm not officially starting til the New Year, it seems daft to start so near Christmas, when I'd rather enjoy my Christmas and then have a fresh head for the New Year. Also, when I say 'slipped' these last few months, I mean not lost any weight, as opposed to putting on, so I'm happy enough with that.
I just wanted to say, this forum is great
And also ask people what their plans are for 2008? Do you need to lose more or is it at maintenance? What are your targets and did you fulfil those you set in 2007? Are you happier in yourself now that you've lost weight or will you not be happy til you hit your target?
As for me I'm happier in myself that I've lost some, it's been other things that have brought me down, but I'm learning. I'll be happier when I get another 2 stone, possibly 3 off, and it doesn't seem as scary as it did last year when I wanted to shift 4!
