It does stop when you stay the same for about 6 months or more. I've been steady for the last year, 1st time I'm my life I haven't gained and gained!! Total loss 18 stone.

OMG....absolutely fantastic cicca. You must feel like a completely new person. I'm hoping to lost about 16 stone and be a comfortable size 18. Will i have any control over this hun x

I'm afraid it stops when it's ready. Or in my case if you eat the wrong thing and it doesn't have an adverse affect healthwise...

 

[xxsarahxx]

well i was thinking that if i could eat alittle of the wrong food when i'm ready to stop losing that might do the trick. This could sound silly, but i suppose when i reach that point i'll be able to see if that is an option. i really don't feel the need to be too slim and it frightens me abit.

I can assure you that there will come a time when you can eat pretty much what you want when you want. I had the DS and in the last year as I've said I eat the same as anyone else but of course just less and maintained my weight. I only weigh myself every couple of months and spend even less time concerning myself about my weight. I'm a 12/14 from a size 32 at my heaviest.

 

[xxsarahxx]

you've done so well. could i ask if you have issues with loose skin or have you had plastics?

 

[Cicca]

I started swimming straight away, my skin went back apart from the aporron of skin round my middle/tummy. Had a tummy tuck last year and that's it. I meet people and they wouldn't know that I once weighed 30 stone.

 

[xxsarahxx]

if you don't mind me saying , you look half you're age cicca. People say that i look alot older so i hope the same happens to me lol. I would love to go swimming but i'm a size 36 and very self conscious. Wish i had your courage x

 

[Cicca]

It's not about courage, I'm a coward. You have to embrace this oppertunity we've been given and do everything you can to help get your body back. I went to ladies night at 1st and then the times I knew it would be less busy. It helped my arms and legs to tone up. I'm 40 and people tell me I look early 30's now. At my heaviest I felt 100 and looked late 50's.

Happy to talk I can send you my mobile number.

I haven't swam for about 6 months and I've never been to the gym. I work full time and have a family, so the exercise I get is through that now. I do want to start swimming again as its very relaxing.

With regards to age and looks and all that, it takes time before you start to fit back in to your skin. A year on and I've finally stopped losing weight, so my face looks okay. I eat the things that give me energy and natrually don't eat too many carbs because they don't really give me anything. My rule now is, if you want it have it and if you don't then don't. I don't stress about going without because it's not forbidden but a choice I get to make.
