My Journey - Warts and All

Well I lost 5lbs this week!!! I'm delighted so vital statistics below: Week 1 - 17st 1lb Week 2 - 16st 6lbs Week 3 - 16st 1lb TOTAL LOSS THIS WEEK: 5lbs I've lost 5st 13lbs in total now. Woop woop!! I never ever plan to get it back again. Next week I hope to break the next stone barrier and get over 6st lost. I've got my wee jars of peebles representing pounds and it's almost half and half now. I've also posted a picture of me this morning as I realised my clothes are way too big for me lol. So to treat myself I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow :-) Its so long that it should be another few pounds off lol

Well tomorrow I'll have been in Manchester for 50 days and they have flown by. I can't believe it's been so long so quickly. Some days have been a lot harder than others but all in all it's a great place and I'm finding my way about a bit more. Even though Matt and I don't do Valentine's day, I missed him :-( but not long until I see him again. It's also weigh in day tomorrow so fingers crossed I've managed to lose more weight. I'm moving into a wee house at the beginning of March with another nurse and I'm really looking forward to it. I've met some lovely girls staying in halls but I need more space than a room. I miss having a house to potter around in. I'm also hoping to go back to the gym next week. I know I said in a previous post that I didn't think my hip would be up to it, I've been feeling a lot better lately. Getting the weight off will do that though and I've always known that. So thinking back on the m

Well it was my first weigh in today after being back on it properly. I should have weighed in yesterday but was working all day. Initial weigh in: 17st 1lb Weigh in 1 - 16st 6lbs LOSS: 9lbs!!!! Woo hoo!! I know it's all water weight but I don't really care lol. 9lbs is 9lbs. So to reward myself I went to the library. I've got 3 days off so I'll get through a few of them. If a book really gets me, I can get through it in less than 24 hours. I can read a James Patterson in a few hours. Another source of inspiration is the fact that my best friend gets married in October and she's asked me to be one of her bridesmaids. I don't want be up in her wedding photos as the blob on the end so this weight is coming off!!!
