Day 136

So happy last night! I tried on a dress which I bought 2 years ago for a wedding in Italy that was a Size 16 from Miss Selfridges however it wouldn't close up at the back (it was a zip up) so I brought it to a dressmaker who extended the back to fit me about an inch or so on either side of the new zip. Probably would have been a Size 18, maybe 18-20 then. The last time I wore the dress was in September 2009 or so. I tried it on last year around March 2010 and it was really tight.

So I decided to try it on last night to see if it still fitted and was a bit looser but low and behold, the dress was far too big! So big at the back that it now has to be taken in again to be brought back to the original size of the dress! I'm so happy! I'm a  size 16 again! No more Size 18 for me!!!

I am more happy about wearing a size 16 than I am about achieving a nearly 3 stone loss! I also tried on a dress which I bought in a sale last November (size 16) thinking it would fit but it wouldn't even go over me it was that tight. Tried it on last night and it fits!!! It's still a bit short though, so I may have to lose a bit more weight for it to fit better!

Next goal! Size 14!!!!

Day 134

So I lost another 2.5lbs at SW tonight meaning my total loss is 2stone 11.5lbs. Not bad for 19 weeks! Can't believe I've lost that much already! I've been reading inspirational stories and see people who have lost less than me but they look loads thinner, I suppose cos I'm bigger it will not be as noticeable. However, I'm now 14 stone, so if I lose another 2st 11.5lbs, that will mean I'll be a bit bigger than 11st which has a BMI of 25.9 so it will mean I'll be in the healthy range for once in my life!

If it takes me the same amount of time to lose that weight, or even twice the amount of time, it will mean I've nearly a 6 stone loss! 6 stone in 1 year? Can it be done???

I dunno if I want to be 6 stone lighter (10st 11.5lbs)? I may look too thin? I see a pic of a girl who was 15stone gone down to 11st 5lbs and she looks fab! So maybe I'll wait til I hit my interim target of 12stone and then decide.

2 more stone to go til my Interim Target, which means if I lose half a stone a month, I can reach it by the end of September. :)

Oh and I got Slimmer of The Week :)

Mini Goals

• 31st May: 3 stone award (13st 11.5lbs) (2.5lbs to go!)
• 14th June: Be 13.5 stone (7.5lbs to go)
• 4th July: Be 13 stone (14lbs to go)

Day 120

My hard work paid off! I got my 2.5 stone award tonight at Weigh In. I was very good and did Success Express three times before WI. I am delighted. I had aimed for 1lb loss a day since Friday which would have meant 5lbs but I got 4.5lbs. Close enough I guess! :)

So now I got my new shiny sticker!!!

My next aim is to get my 3 stone award by the 31st May. I need 6.5lbs to get that which is an average of 2lbs per week. So if I aim for 3lbs next week, I should be on track for that loss. I will be definitely eating more veg and fruit as much as I can and walking more. 

Mini Goals

• 31st May: 3 stone award (13st 11.5lbs)
• 14th June: Be 13.5 stone (11lbs to go)
• 4th July: Be 13 stone (18lbs to go)

Day 114

Well just back from Weigh In on a Thursday which is different from normal! I was away in the UK for 5 days and missed my regular class in Blanchardstown on the Tuesday and cos I didn't wanna miss anything, I searched online for another class which I could weigh in to make sure I stayed on track and faced up to my gain!

I gained 2.5lbs. :(

Biggest and second gain since I joined. The first one was a measly 0.5lbs after a 5.5lbs loss, so I wasn't too fussed about that. This one was massive as I lost 4lbs the previous week but I was very naughty, eating muffins, chocolates, crisps, popcorn, oil, everything bad! So now I've only got 5 full days to go for Weigh In on Tuesday, and my aim is ambitious! It's a whopping 5lbs! I figure, if I stick to the plan 100%, then I can do that, it's only 1lb per day! So have been rigid and absolutely honest with myself and did a food diary and in two days it comes to a total of 53.5syns!

I have been getting lots of compliments on my weight loss which has given me a boost but at the same time, I'm not sure if I like getting loads of compliments! Prefer to surprise them all when I'm thin! Anyways,  here is my weight loss in graph formats cos I love it! :)
