I lost 2.5lb this week! Making my grand total so far a fairly impressive 40.5lb! Just 1.5lb away from having lost 3 whole stone since Christopher's birth.
I have now surpassed my original goal of 12 stone by October, so any extra weight lost is now a bonus! I would love to reach my target by my birthday but so far just taking it one step at a time. Next goal is to reach a healthy BMI, which is at 163lb (just 3.5lb away) and that will put me in the healthy weight range for the first time since 2004 or 2005! And it also marks a weight loss of around 20% of my original weight! I would like to get there no later than 3 weeks time!

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!
