Well I just looked back and its 2 1/2 weeks since I hit onederland, and I really couldn't imagine ANYTHING feeling so good as that did, but I guess it has been a good couple of weeks all in all, and it does!!

First I hit onderland, :cheer2: :cheer2: then my next aim was to be overweight, and no longer obese, which I hit a week ago :clap2::clap2: , and today I got back into the 13 stone bracket AND hit the 40lb loss marker :dance: :dance:

I'm 2lb off 3 stone loss, and 6lb away form being the same weight as my wedding day (After not seeing that for 8 years of self abuse, and 2 pregancnies!).

So here is my next set of promises to myself;

I am going to go back to basics for a week, back to liquid only and 90g Protein without fail, I am going to lose that 6lb within the next 8 days to hit my easter goal!

I am going to weigh LESS than I did on my wedding day by the time I go on holiday in 2 weeks, and I will not be afraid to wear shorts in public while I'm away.

I have a dress which is about 1/2 inch too small around my bust, it will fit, and I WILL wear it to my friend's wedding in 4 weeks from now.

And when I do? I'll be a size smaller than I have ever been in my adult life, and I will have lost 4 1/2 dress sizes. I will dance at the reception, I will not hide from their photographer, and I may (possibly) even let my own husband carry me over the threshold as I was too scared of hurting him on our own honeymoon night as I felt so fat!

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!:success1:

Congrats on your success!

Congrats and you're so inspiring!! Not just because of the weight loss but your attitude as well. Thanks for sharing and you Go girl!

:hippie:

congrats, very proud of you!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for your support everyone.

I'm not usually boastful, or particularly confident in such matters, so whilst I was having a good time I thought it would be good to post it, so when I struggle I can look back and remind myself why I am on this crazy ride.

I' going on the theory that for us all to be on this site, and to be at our various stages of surgery and weight loss, we must have had at least one defining moment of "I'm worth it!", its why we are changing our lives so drastically, so lets be nice to ourselves along the way, Celebrate the changes (both big and little) as they happen, and make the most of it.

We only pass this way once, so lets have a blast!

p.s. Coops - when I say I just crept back into the 13s, I do mean just (13.12 today), so I'm certain your stall will break, and you'll be letting me know what the 12s are like long before I see them for myself!

Thank your for the inspiration. Keep up the great positive attitude and go dance your a$$ off at the wedding.

Hey C...

I got into the 12s today... 12 13lb...lol... I posted a lil thread as means of celebration... I am still loving your positive attitude and adopting some of it for myself. I am hoping this is the start of a slow but steady weight loss again,... x

Congratulations, you are doing awesome
