193lb

Three and a half more pounds bite the dust, and I'm now well into the thirteen stone mark. I feel amazing. Thirteen stone eleven pounds sounds like "normal" fat to me, rather than "obese" fat. It doesn't matter that I am still technically obese. After being over eighteen and a half stone when I started five months ago, and nineteen and a half when I started WW On line in 2011, and twenty and a half stone when I started WW a few years before that, believe me when I tell you that thirteen stone and odd pounds feels nothing like obese. It feels fabulous. 

Today marks the five month mark of my weight loss efforts (this time around. My last time around. I promise to myself that this is it. I'm staying healthy this time.) I am two pounds away from having lost five stone in those five months. And isn't that something! It's amzing to me that I've come so far, so quickly. I'm a wee bit in love with myself today :-) I've looked at myself in the mirror today, and I genuinely like what I see. That's not to say I'm not still a work in progress, but I can almost see the end in sight, even if it is still a wee bit off yet.

I'm getting a lot of support and encouragement from the new facebook page that I'm a part of. It's a real shame the Weightwatchers are shutting down all or some of their community website, but as that's what was behind the inception of this new FB group, I can only be grateful that it happened. I'd long since lost touch with quite a few of my old WW contacts, and now I'm chatting to loads of them again. There are updates on how everyone is doing, what sort of plan they are using to lose weight, whether people are losing, gaining or maintaining, and pictures and recipes of food we're all eating. I even showed the photo above, to show that my bones are finally staring to show through my blubber. That's an honest to God clavicle, right there! Who knows, maybe I'll even eventually find my ribs!

Thirteen stone eleven. I still can't quite believe it! I'm amazed. And I just haven't been able to stop grinning :-D
