At long last.... smaller sizes!
Oh, I'm doing the happy dance - I've just bought some new clothes, in size 26 instead of 30/32!!!!!!!!!!! I can't remember the last time I got into a 26! Onwards and downwards! **carries on with the happy dance**

I've lost them!!!!!!!
Where are they? Have you seen them? My friends said they couldn't see them at the weekend, they were the first to notice they'd gone!!!! My boobies have disappeared!!!!!!! OK, not disappeared, but diminished LOL - after my friends' comments at the weekend I decided to get out some of my old bras, and some new ones that I'd…

Do you feel guilty?
OK, hands up if you are having the guilt trip about gaining over the holiday? Out of the last 5 days calorie counting, 3 have been over my daily allowance, 2 of those by around 1000 calories each day. The only exercise I did was a 1½ mile stagger home on Christmas night. A sneaky peek at the scales showed a rather large…

Officially back in twoderland!!!
At long last, I'm out of the 300s! Been a long time coming but I made it, and before my target of December 31st!
-
I finally did something right!
At the beginning of this year I set myself a target of losing one pound a week, a total of 52lbs for the year - I didn't gain weight overnight so realistically I knew not to expect an overnight loss. Today, with 5 more weigh-ins still to come before the end of the year, I hit that target! I've had my ups and downs, good…

NSV - free clothes for me!!!!
I just went to my local shopping centre with hubby to get some Xmas gifts. While I was in my usual clothes store, looking wistfully at clothes that I desperately need in a smaller size now I've lost a bit more weight (but couldn't afford) I got a phone call from the Centre saying that I'd won one of their 3 monthly prizes…

NSV - I lost pounds!!
Oh yes!!! 150 of them to be precise! But not pounds in weight, pounds as in £££££££££££££ !!!!! I just went out and bought a whole new winter wardrobe in lower sizes, ranging from 26/28 down to 22/24 - same store, different manufacturers, hence the size differences, but oh boy, did I have fun! What I've bought today should…

A lesson learnt.......
It's my birthday tomorrow. We went to a hotel for the night on Friday to a dinner dance, and had a 4 course meal, followed by a full English breakfast the next morning. Last night we had friends over, and went to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. At the hotel, I made good choices for the 4 course meal, and was pleased…

Can you see any change?
I didn't have much luck trying to upload pictures, so I've just added a screenshot to my photos in my profile if anyone wants to have a look. The little picture looks a bit squashed but if you click on it so that it becomes the larger picture you'll see the full screenshot. Just thought I'd see what 68lbs difference looked…

NSVs coming out of my ears today!
Today has been a real turning point! I had two colleagues come up to me today and comment on my weight loss, and another (male) colleague complimented me on my new hairdo! Woohooooooo, it's only taken 66lbs but at long last it shows!!
-
Really want to scream!!!!!!
I'm 66lbs down, people are starting to notice, even I can see a difference when I look in the mirror.......... so why, why, why am I still in the same size clothes - tops, skirts, underwear.............aaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhh! I'm swimming 20-30 lengths 3-4 times a week, doing 3 aqua aerobic classes, and fitting in other…

A third of the way there :)
I weighed today, and then realised that I'm now a third of the way towards my target! I'm happy!
-
Non Scale NON Victory :(
OK, as I'm 57lbs down and not seeing any difference visually I thought I'd take advice and measure myself. I really wish I hadn't :( I've gained an inch on my neck, and it's not exercise muscle. I HAVE lost an inch from my waist, but I've GAINED over 2½" on my hips???!!!!!! I won't give up, but this has really kicked me in…
-
I'm a little sad right now :(
I should be jumping for joy, I weighed in this morning and I lost 5lbs this week, making a total of 4stones 1lb (57lbs) lost - but I STILL wear the same bra size, the same clothes size, and not one person has said I look any different, in fact my own mum said to me I'd done really well but wasn't it a shame it didn't…
-
NSV, I checked my BMI.....
....and it's dropped from 69 to 58.5! It hasn't been in the 50s for a long, long time so I'm quite happy!
-
I ran! HUGE NSV for me!
OK, it was only for about 75 yards, but I RAN - for the first time in over 15 years! We went to the coast for the day, and of course, as soon as we'd got a fair distance from the car the heavens opened, and I mean it fell down! We started a brisk walk back to the car, but I was getting saturated, so thought, oh well, let's…
-
A small NSV but for me, huge!
I've just returned from a 10 day all inclusive holiday in the Canary Islands, during which time I managed to gain an impressive 11 pounds! :( I'm not too concerned, as I know a lot of it is fluid retention, and even now, hardly 1 day later, I'm already 3lbs down, but my NSV is that for the first time ever, I've got…

Where did I go wrong this week?
Over the last 3 weeks I've lost 7lbs. This week I felt able to start exercising again, so I've completed four 20 minute cardio sessions at light/moderate level, plus a little extra walking. I'm very heavy, currently at 330lbs - I was 375lbs at my all time heaviest so it's going in the right direction, albeit slowly. I'm…
