Hi, just found this site, and it seems like a great community so I thought I'd say hello. I've been battling the bulge since I was 14 - I'm 27 now and it's been a long yo-yo'ing fight.
Sugar is my weakness. Chocolate. Ohhhh, chocolate. I've been on my current (and hopefully last) 'diet' for nearly 8 months now. I haven't had any chocolate, but I've substituted cereal bars and light chocolate popcorn/frozen chocolate desserts instead. Feels like cheating, but anything that stops me from demolishing an entire box of truffles has to be a good thing!
I don't know how much weight I've lost because I stopped weighing myself years ago. Yes, I'm an avoidant wuss, but I prefer to just take my measurements and go by how my clothes fit. So far I've taken 12 inches off my hips. I feel like I've hit a bit of a plateau at the moment, though, and with Christmas I feel slightly rocky times are ahead. I'd like to shed another couple of inches, but it's very slow work. My daily calorie intake has crept up to about 1500 a day. I don't do any official workouts because I'm a lazy gym-phobic, but after losing some weight I feel like I move around a lot quicker and get more physical stuff done.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself! I'm Lisa, by the way.
