In January of 2006 I found myself weighing in at nearly 20 stone with a BMI of 34 (obese). I started a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) and, over the course of about 4 months, lost about 6 stone. It was fantastic to see the weight slip away and my body shape to change, almost weekly. I got down to 13st 7lbs - a weight I never thought I'd see again. Last summer was just the best I'd had in years - with my new slimmer self I felt great. (My VLCD blog - jamesb.iblog.com )
Well, I guess the old eating habits have re-surfaced and I took my eye off the ball. Some of the weight started to go back on and I kinda ignored it for a while just thinking that maybe that was to be expected. But it has to stop right now! This morning I've weighed in at 16st 5lbs and I am starting the VLCD again from today. If I do this properly, it'll only take a couple of months to shed the excess and get back to where I was a year ago. The real challenge then is can I adopt an eating plan that will maintain my lower weight...we'll see.
