Just over a stone to go

Had a much better loss this week-would have been even better if totm hadn't gone and got in the way as usual. 3 1/4lb has taken me to within 6 1/4lb of a healthy BMI and 14 1/4lb of my goal weight. I also exceeded the 30lb target that I set myself to lose before Linda and Neil came over.

I hope it doesn't take too long to get to my healthy BMI-I can't wait to be back on 810 again. Celeriac is also back in season so I should at least get a chance to try it this time. All I need is a couple of good weeks and I'll be there. Then it's just down to getting the last 7lb or so off. Stupid as it might sound, I not only want to get to goal by my scales but also by my CDC's, so that would take me actually nearer to 9 stone because of the difference in our scales. I would secretly love to be 8 stone something but that might be taking it a bit too far. I have to know when to stop!

Nearly there

It's been my 810 week again this week and I must say I've really enjoyed it this time round. On Monday I had Quorn pieces with rocket, watercress and spinach salad. The quorn was lovely-the salad was yuck! Every other day I've had chicken breast, stuffed with spinach and had stuffing made from the chicken and mushroom soup. Only 10lb more to go before I can do it all again!

Never thought I would lose anything at all this week. Apart from it being my 810 week I've also been suffering with my IBS. I've gained most of the week and I was sure I was going to go back over 11 stone again but I didn't. I'm not speaking too soon-I have a habit of gaining again on Monday morning, but I would like to lose at least another 1/4lb instead which would make it at least a 2lb loss. I would be pleased with that after the week I've had. I should have been heading for a good loss next week except now I've discovered my period is due by the end of the week which is going to spoil it yet again. Damn.

My size 12 work trousers have started to feel a bit loose and baggy. Should be in the 10's soon with any luck. My favourite size 14 Next jeans also look baggy and horrible and I can't wear them any more. I fit into everything in my wardrobe now so I'm going to have to aim for Claire's instead! Already fitted into her size 8 cardigan from Primark! When I start going up the plans again I'm going to have to really work on toning up to lose some more inches. I've got 18lbs to go and I'm not quite where I want to be yet.
