New goal

Well it's now New Year, and I am down below 13 stone!!! I have started to weigh myself naked, as that is the most consistent. So I am officially 12 stone 10lb at 178lbs.

My overall aim now is to be down to my ideal weight by my birthday in July. I have 26 weeks to lose 34-38lb. Which is an average weightloss of 1.5lb a week. This is to my IDEAL weight of 10 stone or 10 stone 4lb, around that mark. When I say 34lb that just makes it seem like a drop in the bucket. I can do this! I really can! Even though I've had a bad few weeks what with it being Xmas, and the over-eating you get into the habit of. I have lost 29lb so far, and with only another 34-38lb to lose TOTAL, that's just over the same again. I can TOTALLY do this. And what a fab birthday present than to get to the size you want to be, and to do a massive shopping spree!

I will be asking for money for my birthday this year for anyone who gets me birthday presents, which I will spend on CLOTHES CLOTHES CLOTHES! I will revamp my wardrobe and take some pride in myself, and my body. By the time I get there, I will have acquired good eating habits, and hopefully good exercise habits too. Christopher will be 10 months old, and Robert almost 3, and I will hopefully have tonnes more energy to deal with 2 small ones! I cannot wait until I can say that I have worked towards my goal, stuck with it, and done it all by myself, and reap the rewards of looking my best, and hopefully a complement or two along the way. I want to be comfortable in myself, and I am well on the way to that.

I am 43% of the way towards my ideal weight. 10-12lb more lost and I should hopefully be in a size 14. I would like to be in a size 14 by March. And a size 12 by May/June. And some generous 10s by July :)
