So today I proudly announced to my colleagues that I am now under 17st 13.6lbs (251.6 lbs)!

The response from the youngest one?

"That's great - now you can go on the dodgems on Weston Pier - the weight limit's 18st!"

Yes - I CAN NOW RIDE THE DODGEMS!

    The best NSV I think I have *ever* seen!

    (although, strictly, it is a Scale Victory, of course!)

    Although I was never one for the dodgems (I'm more of a waltzer kind of girl)... great NSV!!!

    I'll be taking my daughter to the theme park at Southend this summer without worrying about those dam safety bars :)

    I think the only problem with these 'ere dodgems will be that I am 17st 13.6lbs WITHOUT SHOES.

    I am not going shoeless on Weston Pier. I think I'll have to lose a few more pounds first ;-)

    Thanks everyone for your comments :-)

    Well done, better to go without the shoes than other items of clothing!!!

    This comment from your associate brings to mind the day I realised I was not too heavy for the loft ladder, shush. The dodgems are more fun. I'm too practical.

    It really is great to have the support of everyone on here - even though I joined MFP well over a year ago, I've only really started to actively "lose weight" this year, and it was three weeks before I plumped up enough courage to actually start using the message boards!

    If there's anyone out there who would like to add me (especially British women starting from over 250 lbs, anyone with lipoedema/lipedema and anyone who is trying to reduce their meat intake) then please send me a request!

    Thanks again

    So what exactly is a dedgems? - I do understand that it is some kind of amusement park ride but more details would be good. And Congratulations!!

    Haha! The response from your youngest was hillarious! I think the next time you're at the Weston pier you should celebrate your weight loss achievements :)

    Electric bumper cars, and each one has two teenie-weenie seats (well, teenie-weenie to me!) and a titchy steering wheel.

    Nice one!

    Last time I took the kids to Thorpe Park, I couldn't close the shoulder harness on one of the roller coasters, and therefore couldn't enjoy that one ride. I had to do a walk of shame off the ride.

    Not going to be a problem this summer!
