Piggy no more

Well 3 years later and I did not succeed. In fact after Covid I ended up the biggest I had ever been and finally 3 weeks ago decided I had to do something or I would end up bed bound as I lost a lot of mobility and now have to use a rollator to walk and even then I can’t manage much. I decided to do Cambridge again but on step 4 so I do get to eat food too and I’m finding that is working well for me. The water can be a bit challenging but the nice weather has helped with that.
I’m moving house soon so that’s a bit stressful- just waiting for the house to be ready( moving into a council house after getting evicted from a private rent. I’m quite happy mind you as the landlord here has been terrible and not fixed things for years and we’ve had issues with damp and mould to the point where the kitchen sink cupboard has started collapsing). I’ve not been able to do much of the packing myself because of my mobility and pain levels so I’m hoping as I lose weight I can start to do more.
I’ve lost 1stone 6 so far and very happy with that. Next goal is a nice easy one- to lose 1lb to get to 1stone 7 loss.
Keeping myself busy with knitting so I can’t snack

Also here are some progress photos for 1st 6 loss. I can’t see much difference tbh

Was feeling a bit wobbly earlier so decided to read through my old entries and that’s helped a lot. I’m really tired today. I was honestly considering having a nap and I don’t generally do naps.
I really hope the house will be ready soon. I’m so ready to get out of this one. I haven’t been happy in this house for years really. It’s entirely possible this has been affecting my weight too. The stress, the damp, the mould…all that can’t be good for someone can it ?
I managed to get some very faint photos of the Northern Lights yesterday. I couldn’t see them at all with the naked eye but my phone camera managed it.

I survived the day and avoided getting a takeaway so yay me. I’m proud of myself

3lbs off this week so I’m happy with that. Had to get new scales as my old ones went really weird and new batteries didn’t help. I weighed higher on the new scales at the beginning of the week so I was concerned but today was a nice weigh in. I’ve lost 1st 9 so far in total in 4 weeks on step 4 so I think I’m doing ok.

I always used to like doing these comparison photos… is there a difference?

Lost 2 this week. I actually had a really bad week because I had a huge fibro flare and was in so much pain I had to resort to taking tramadol and I don’t usually like taking it. I thought I’d have gained weight tbh so to lose 2 was brilliant. Hope this next week is a bit better pain wise. I’m getting the keys to my house on Friday so I’m really excited about that and at the same time I’m so stressed about it lol

You’re top is definitely looser in the second photos! Well done on getting back to it and I really hope it works out for you this time
