Good for you on the 8-10! That's good work. I've managed to do about 5 in one sustained go; it's good when you start, because the positive reinforcement of "hey, it's working" does wonders (at least for me).
The last 5-6 I put on are bad and deflating, but I put them down to stress (desperately wanting *something* comforting and wanting to avoid drink or spending too much money, food can seem like an attractive option or at least the least of evils). One thing that's good about having a log of past efforts is that I know I've been here before and worked my way down.
I *have* to lose some weight before the weather gets hot; ARing two games at the height of last summer nearly did me in--I want to be in better shape before *that* comes around again!
