At my Xmas goal!

OK so I have been naughty and weighed in yesterday morning, and this morning as well. I'm not going to weigh in again til next Wednesday - promise!

But in the last two days I have lost 2.5lb! I have been eating what others (who are already slim, so probably have a better sense of what is a reasonable portion of food) say is a good amount for a day, but have tried to limit my snacking to just fruit, and then only when I am hungry.

I've had a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea already this morning, and for lunch I plan on having maybe a cuppa soup and some fruit, or a big plate of tuna and egg mayo salad.

I now weigh 13 stone 7lb, which was my goal for Christmas, which is still 3 weeks off! I have lost 18lb since Christopher was born (well, more than that most likely as I didn't weigh in til he was 4 days old, and a lot of weight was lost in the early days with water and whatnot). I am maybe hoping to lose another 7lb (ok thats an ambitious goal, but one that might be attainable!) by Christmas now, so I'm down to 13 stone exactly. That's less than 2 and a half lbs a week. A minimum weight I'd now like to be by Christmas is 13 stone 4lb, which is a 1lb loss a week. And that should give me a buffer to still be at or just under 13 7 by the week after Christmas...

I looked at my profile in the mirror on the landing yesterday and thought "wow, am I slimmer?" I'm not really sure, but hey, I should be, right? I took my measurements yesterday too. Waist, arms, and thighs. So when I lose another stone, here's hoping the measurements will back up the numbers!
