I am sooo hoping for a loss this week. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to start out the new year at under 13 stone, so ANY loss this week will give me that, as last Wednesday I weighed in at 13 stone exactly.
I am going to try and rifle through my wardrobe this week, and box/bag up any size 20, and very very loose 18s. Or maybe all 18s, depending on how much size 16 stuff I have, as I am now officially a size 16, both top and bottom!
I am thrilled, and it all seems a bit of a huge jump, as I have been an 18/20 for longer than I care to remember, but since Christopher's birth, I have been living in maternity trousers and baggy t-shirts. But yesterday and today, I have been wearing my size 16 jeans, and size 16 sweaters! I have a size 16 skirt (which I think is a little on the small side right now, but not actually tried it on yet) that I've not worn since my brother's wedding... AUGUST 2005!!! So not been this size in over 5 years!!
At first I was a little apprehensive about this coming weigh in, as we've demolished an entire tub of Quality Street chocs this week (except the toffee pennies haha!), as well has having other chocs, and treats. However, we have skipped lunch on a few occasions (not out of habit or wanting to particularly skip meals, but through being busy), and I've stepped on the scales a few times over the last few days, and after brekkie this morning, fully clothed, I was about 182lb (13 stone!) so with 2 days to go of watching snacking and treats (we've not got much more left thankfully!!), I am hoping for a 2lb loss this week, but even 1lb or 0.5lb would be GREAT! And technically, I am under 13 stone, as I weigh myself clothed.
When the Xmas decorations come down (probably this weekend), I will be asking Jonathan to get my size 14 clothes out of the loft ready for hopefully a month or so time when I should be able to fit in them. I'm estimating that I will be able to fit in them once I reach 12 stone, and if I lose 2lb a week, I hope I'll be in them by the middle of February :) And I think a size 12 should be attainable by the time I reach 11 stone (I was around 11 stone last time I was in a size 12) And then I aim to lose about half a stone more so I settle around 10 and a half stone, and get to a comfortable size 12, or maybe some size 10s. With 10 stone being I think the lowest weight I will aim for. (10 stone will give me a BMI of 21.3. I am currently a BMI of 27.7 (and was 31.5 after Christopher was born)
My weight loss chart I have in a spreadsheet on the computer reckons that I will reach a weight of 144lb (10 stone 4lb, which is 4 and a half stone less than what I weighed when C was 4 days old) by mid May this year. Based on my weightloss since the end of September that is. I would be thrilled if I could lose over 10 years worth of weight-gain, including two pregnancies, in 8 months. But I am prepared for it to take a little longer. Any weight lost below 12 stone is a bonus for me, because I initially made a goal of getting down to 12 stone by October 2011, so if I manage my ultimate goal before then, I will be over the moooooon!
Anyway, Christopher is waking up, so its time to get him up :)
