Exactly a year since I started, with 6 and a half stone lost along with 12 inches from my waist. Determined to lose the remaining 3 I set out to, but it looks like I have to accept that might take just as long.

It feels liberating is the best word I can use. Being able to play sport like everyone else is a massive plus, but so is being able to fit clothes in regular shops and not getting out of breath climbing the stairs.That's some going in a year!
How do you feel? (Other than smaller?)

That’s how bad it had become

Football and cricket mostly. I used to play club hockey in my early 20s, might look into that againThere loads of football type things now, not sure if that's your sport. Maybe you love the squash or something!
I think the word ‘liberating’ covers that. Been stuck at this current weight for months now though which is really frustrating.what about mentally? I found that my moods & emotions were way better having got fit

I think there is some truth though in the advice to slightly increase my calorie intake given a whole year of a pretty large deficit.It'll come, don't get disheartened, when I lost my weight, I got stuck at 13.5 stone for a few months, then lost 1.5 stone in about 3 weeks. It just all came off at once, changed nothing regarding my diet or exercise.

Do uou feel comfortable at this new weight ? My ideal weight is classed as obese but it's how I'm built , if I was to be 11 st 7 like my doctor thinks then id look like I was dyingSo about 3 months on from this and trying to stick to what I thought was a maintenance figure…now put on a stone and back into being technically obese.
If I’m gaining weight on a low 2000 calorie diet, what actually is the answer? Have I screwed my metabolism? Clothes still seem to fit the same as they did in August which makes it more puzzling.
Would like to lose the stomach fat but to be honest it feels pretty demoralising to work this hard to then seemingly be punished for eating what seems sensible.Do uou feel comfortable at this new weight ?

Could be water weight, stress/hormone fluctuation or actual weight gain. Don’t panic and probably need to cut an extra 100-200 kcals off and increase expenditure.So about 3 months on from this and trying to stick to what I thought was a maintenance figure…now put on a stone and back into being technically obese.
