Goal Weight

Still to go: 5.0 lb
I am 65 and retired from the NHS in November 2014. I am married with 2 grown up daughters and 1 granddaughter.

I have dieted many many times before and actually reached 130 lbs in 2012 (whilst on FS) but fell back into old ways and the weight crept back on. I decided at the end of July 2016 to start again (having gained a total of 2 stone), and somehow managed to get to 118 lbs by April 2017.

However a succession of holidays has had me falling off the wagon again, to where I am now at 146 lbs in May 2018 (gaining 2 stone again). Methinks a pattern is emerging.

May 2018: I am now starting again, aiming for 9 stone or thereabouts. At 118 lbs (albeit for a very short period!) I felt great but it was almost certainly unsustainable for me.

Wonder where this next journey will take me?

UPDATE: February 2024 age 71 and currently 149 lbs :(
Clearly I spend most of my life on/off dieting. I have been on FS for at least 12 years but am still here, and trying yet again !

5:2 diet
Just started this last week, and lost 2 lbs on the new version (up to 800 cals on 2 days a week). I have just about reached my target and looking to create a "buffer" so that I don't have to watch every mouthful for days away/holidays etc.

There is also a 5 week Challenge, which I have joined, starting next Monday for those trialing the 5:2 - why don't you join too! 😀

A *seemingly* unimportant victory......
Well done!!!!! I know exactly what you mean, I'm chuffed the towel wraps around me now!
Also have been making numerous trips to the "bra bank" as keep buying ever smaller sizes - thank goodness!!!
