Thanks girls! I think I'm especially chuffed because I feel like I've made the mythical lifestyle changes rather than put myself on a short-term diet and I really feel like I'm totally in tune with my body now. I weigh myself every morning and I think that has really helped me to understand what makes me put on weight and what makes me lose weight.
For instance, I know if I've had no exercise and have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, I won't lose any weight the next day. If I have sensible portions and no wine, I lose weight. If I've been for a big walk that day, then I can decide whether to have a bigger portion or a couple of glasses of wine that night and see my weight stay the same or I can say "no, I'd prefer to see a 300g loss tomorrow". I don't deny myself anything - still have chocolate when I feel like it, don't have low fat anything, still have the odd cake. Basically, I'm not "on a diet", I can keep going like this forever.
