Thanks guys, I'm absolutely over the moon. I'll point out though that I didn't get weighed last week so this is my result for 2 weeks losses! Either way I'm absolutely delighted. It means I've achieved a couple more mini goals too:
- Got out of the morbidly obese range - BMI is now under 40!
- Got my 5.5 stone award!
Only 1.5lbs to go now until I see the back of those 19's forever. Can't wait!!
These last 6 weeks or so have been pretty tough. Low losses were really trying my patience. Feel so relieved that I've got past that now and back onto decent losses again. It's a long enough journey without it being 1/2lb a week!
I've decided to stick at fortnightly weigh in's from now on. It's so much more rewarding to see a big chunk of weight gone, and it also means I won't be stressing about * week WI any more as I should still see a loss. Of course if I notice myself slacking during the first week I'll change back to weeklies, but hopefully it'll be something that works well for me. I have such a tendency to get stressed before WI that anything that reduces that has to be a good thing! Plus it'll give my body a bit more time to get into the new gym routine and sort itself out with the water retention. The one thing that puts me off exercise is the fact the results on the scale might not be as good, but at the end of the day this is about my HEALTH. Not going to use the scale as an excuse to avoid working out any more, end of story!
Can't believe I've lost 10lbs this month, feeling so chuffed! I thought the months of big losses like that were behind me now, its awesome to know that I can still achieve amazing results if I work hard!

Off out for lunch today for an off plan meal out with Chris and his Mum. I've known about it for weeks so not gonna stress about it, had fruit salad for breakfast and got salad for tea, so one meal won't make a huge difference. Off to go and dye my hair and get ready! Have a lovely day everyone!
