160.6lb

Whoop whoop!!!

And there it is. The 100 pounds loss I've been waiting for. 3.4lbs off this week. So now I've officially lost seven stone two pounds, which is a whole small person.

I now weigh eleven stone six and a half pounds or seventy-three kilos in new money. Definitely sounding normal. I think I was 73kg back in 2000  for a while. So, sixteen years since I've been this weight. Wow! That puts things into perspective. 

My BMI is 29.4. In the twenties!!! To get to just under 25 (i. e what's deemed healthy) I would need to get to 136lbs. That's 24 pounds away. And one app said my "ideal" weight was 126! There's no way I should loose almost another two stone, even for the sake of the numbers. I know that there are plenty of women of my height who are happy and healthy at those weights, but I genuinely think I'd look ill. In fact, I got my very first, "I don't think you should lose much more," from my mum. I've assured her that I'm not going much further, but I need her to trust me on that. I don't want to hear the negative type comments about starting to look too skinny.

It's my plan to get just below eleven stone, just half a stone away, and look at my goal and think about stopping. It all seems so possible now. Could I actually get to maintenance this time???
