I have been doing fast 800 for just over a year. I’ve done four lots of eight weeks and then bits in between of just maintaining my loss for a while.

I started at 18 stone and am now 13 stone 4lbs. So from a size 24 to a size 14/16 and 4 stone 10lbs loss so far.

I am off on holiday to the US for three weeks, so will be looking to maintain for that time and then have a long weekend booked for my 20th wedding anniversary. So I will be looking for some support to get started on another 8 weeks at the beginning of September.

I am finding it a bit harder to motivate myself, as I move into more normal sized clothes. I really want to get back to 11 stone though – which was my early 20s weight when I felt good about how I looked!

Soapbox – you have done so well – what a fantastic weight loss. You will find this forum really motivational – it has been my lifeline over the year I have been on the BSD.

Thank you KrysiaD!

I have now had a good nose around the forum and the motivational aspects of the posts are brilliant! There are certainly a few times over the past year when I could have done with some of the wisdom here!

Still, onwards and upwards… keep on keeping on!
