I can and will do this!
Hi Darcy,
Just checked out your weight losses. You are just 3.5lbs away from the halfway mark!! Wow. Are you going to go all the way with exante? I'm planning to switch to diet and exercise once I get to 25BMI cos I know I'll have loose skin and I want to lose the last two stone or so slowly to avoid bigger problems.
RE: Clothes Bags: You could have OPENED a charity shop with all those clothes! Did you throw all the big sizes away? I've been trying to do that but it is hard. Last time I lost four stone I put it all back on and had nothing to wear. Now I KNOW thats not gonna happen this time (once bitten etc) but still its hard... I'll keep one trousers in each size as a example of who I used to be maybe. To laugh at in 2030.
BTW. THere is an obvious trend going on in your life - a clearing out of the past - the house, the weight. You are motivating me to clear out my house now. Gees. The pressure to keep up....
Four stone is a big loss. Everybody must be noticing now. Are you getting lots of comments?

Hi Belle
You are quite the psychologist you know!
I am clearing out the past, you're right. It didn't consciously start that way, but one thing led to another. I have a scary birthday later this month ( how did I get that old!! ) and I think that is part of it.
I have lived in the house for 30 years - it is the family home - and stuff just accumulates somehow. I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed with running the house for some time - I have a challenging job, and caring for my Dad is hard work - and part of that is the amount of stuff on every surface in sight, and having to move so many things to clean anywhere. I plan to get a cleaner once I have the house straight, to give me some 'me' time once in a while.
I plan to stick to Exante until I reach goal. It works for me, albeit slowly! I know I have to introduce food eventually, but I want to be at goal before I do that.
The amount of clothes for charity is because I hoarded every size you can think of - and most of it was really old, even if unworn. I want to be left with a simple, streamlined wardrobe all of the same size!
