"Was that the running you were getting into?"
A small part of it was, yes, although I'm still not capable of running for more than a few minutes and mostly walk (any exercise has helped though!).
Tbh the biggest thing has been cutting out carbs, sugar and snacking. Although I still have a cheat day every couple of weeks when the cravings start getting too much, then it's easy to just "reset" afterwards  |

Amazing. It’s mad how much weight you can lose just by cutting out sugar. Sugar is devil dust, tasty but very bad!
Massive well done.  |

"Well done you, it's been lovely reading your honesty in your journey. I hope (if you want to) that you carry on losing weight and are proud of yourself, x"
Aww thank you, I didn't know anyone was paying attention 
Yes I'll always be honest about my journey. About where I was before and how messed up my diet and my head were, how I am still fighting those demons every day, and how I will be through the many, MANY lbs I still have to lose. Don't ever trust anyone who says "it's simple, it's just CICO" (ironically enough, the 10 day break I took from keto to do CICO were some of the most miserable of my recent life and I actually ended up gaining weight). It's bloody hard, and I'll never lie and say that it's not. But it is totally worth it  |

Thank you!
Yep, cutting it out is super hard, but after a while you stop craving it. And actually, things which were not sweet to me before taste a lot sweeter now! |

"Awesome work. Very impressed. I'm struggling to hit my target of 7 lb ffs."
Tbf though I am far larger than you so 7lbs to you is basically 50lbs to me

Good luck! Although try not to set a time limit. It's far better to take your time and actually hit your goal while reflecting on your achievements and celebrating good habits, than get disheartened because you're running out of time (not saying you will, just saying it happens)  |

"WOW!!!! That's amazing Amber. I know how hard it is. One day I'll get my head space sorted then I can start. You should be so proud of yourself.xxxx"
Honestly just start with a walk, I did that before even looking at my diet.
My head was an absolute mess towards the start of lockdown and a good friend of mine made me promise I'd take a walk the next morning. I did (I had to send him proof) and from there just started walking more and more after noticing how much better I felt mentally, and how much more easily I could handle my emotions. |

Good for you!
Turns out I've lost two stone since this time last year without really trying. I'm still 18 stone, though, so plenty more still to shift  |

Following on from those who have mentioned they're on their own weight loss journeys, or those who are struggling - if you'd be interested in a Fab weight loss support group please feel free to PM me (dropping my filters for a bit), I'd be more than happy to set one up as a safe space for people to come for support, motivation, and swapping tips x |

Thanks
Turns out that, according to the scales at work, yesterday afternoon I was under 18 stone for the first time in years. It might only have been by half a pound but it still counts!
(And I say 'was' because at that point I hadn't eaten for two days but I did have a fair bit last night and may have put something back on again now) |
