Another mini goal achieved, I wanted to get to 200lbs or under by New Year and I have done it - 199lbs! 3.5lbs this week. Happy New Year everyone - may you all reach your goals easily

 

[tizzy51]

Congratulations!!! Very impressive - especially given that you stuck to it over the holidays!!!

 

[sophiem123]

lol, I think if I hadn't had that goal so firmly in mind I may have cheated a little!

 

[tizzy51]

Hi Sophie - hope you're doing well and enjoying the start to this new year.....

 

[sophiem123]

Yes thanks Tizzy, how are you doing?

 

[sophiem123]

Another 3lbs down this week! Hopefully next week I will be in the 13 stone bracket, it's always good to cross those psychological barriers!

 

[tizzy51]

Wow Sophie well done! No question you will be in the 13s next week - not to mention I think you're going to blow right by your goal weight for 14 Feb. Excellent - I'm chuffed for you!

 

[sophiem123]

2.25lbs off this week and yep I am in the 13s!!! Now to get me into the 12s! From past experience, when I am in the 12s I look "normal".

 

[sophiem123]

3.25 lbs down this week plus I am at the 3 stone lost milestone. I still can't believe how quickly the weight is coming off, I hardly have any clothes that fit me any more - even the ones from my once 'skinny' bag that I hadn't worn forever are now getting too loose!

 

[Theresa1966]

Well done! I have enjoyed reading your diary! You have done really well to loss 3 stone 8.6lb this is a fantatic loss!

 

[tizzy51]

Great feeling, isn't it? Time for an inexpensive, interim wardrobe ...

 

[sophiem123]

After a couple of weeks of bad water retention/swelling, resulting in a slower weight loss on the scales (but NOT in fat loss), the swelling has gone down again to more 'normal' levels - but I am still swollen in my calves and ankles I lost nearly 7lbs on the scale this week - which taken as an average over the 'bad' weeks means an average of 2.5lbs a week of late. It also means my BMI has now gone under 30, meaning I am officially 'just 'overweight' and no longer 'obese'. Yippee! And now to hit the 12 stone bracket!

 

[tizzy51]

Seriously well done!!! And 2.5lbs per week on average is a nice rate of loss that also gives your body a little time to catch up! You're well on track for your March goal!

 

[sophiem123]

Thanks Tizzy

3.75 lbs this week off so now in the 12 stone bracket (yeh!) but my legs/ankles are still blooming swollen

It gets better after the first week. How you finding it now, Abby?

 

[sophiem123]

My BMI is now normal wooohooo! My weight loss has been obscured by terrible water retention, but this has improved of late thanks to some pills from doc.
