209.8lb

A loss of 3.4lb this week. To say I'm pleased is a massive understatement. That loss takes me under fifteen stone, into the fourteens.  Only just, I'll grant you, but there nonetheless. Well chuffed.

Are the pills helping, even though I'm only using  them at one meal? I'd use them at a second meal if I ate a large enough one, but since I generally don't, it doesn't seem worth wasting one. I'll get longer before I buy more, using them this way. That's two full weeks of using them and beyond my stools being a bit looser on some occasions, there don't seem to be any bad side effects.  Of course, I don't always remember to take them half an hour before I eat, so I can be a bit inconsistent.  But so far, at least I haven't completely forgotten.

That's fifty-one pounds gone now. Three stone nine. Only five more pounds to four stone, and ten pounds to get under 200lb! Plenty of mini goals to aim for.

Update:
I love vegetables, which is handy when I'm losing weight. I have never met a vegetable that I didn't like. But even more so, I have yet to come across a vegetable that wasn't made even more delicious by the addition of onions, chicken stock cubes, water and a judicious application of heat. I'm talking about soup. Mmmmm. I made potato soup this  afternoon and it was gorgeous. So simple, so filling, so tasty.

Another Update:
I forgot to make a big deal of the fact that I hit the fifty pounds off mark today. Went over it a bit actually. How could I have forgotten that???
