GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got to goal on Monday. I'm now on my 2nd week of 1000 and about to move up to 1200 next week.

I actually got to goal a week ago last Sunday, but 1/2lb went back on for weigh in. Then once I was on 1000 the scales yo-yo'd up and down all week. I've actually been enjoying being able to have some pasta, rice and jacket potatoes. My favourite meal so far has to be the wholewheat pasta and quorn, cooked with spinach and a couple of light cheese triangles.

Don't know what I'm going to do for tea next week. I don't like any of the recipes in the Cambridge book. Might see if I can find some diet meals within the calorie allowance. I've got 2 weeks now of 1200 and 2 of 1500. That will take me up to Christmas.

IBS is playing up badly at the moment. Been to the doctor this morning. I'm not even going to think about weighing myself again until I've got over this. The doctor (who was a locum) told me that she thought she was looking at the wrong notes as it said 'BMI over 30'!

Aaargh-still not quite there yet.....

Damn! I was really hoping that I would have lost that 2lb by today, but instead I have to be content with 1lb. Not happy. Was wanting to start on 1000 today, but I don't feel like I can yet as I don't know if that 2lb would go in time. I'll have to see how things go this week.

Went shopping yesterday. Needed new ski jacket and salopettes. Got the jacket in a size 12 as I wanted it more roomy for jumpers, etc underneath, but got the salopettes in a size 10. Tried them on over my leggings to make sure there was plenty of room for thermals. Got a jacket and salopettes for me and a jacket for Brian-just over £60. Well happy with that price.

Did loads of walking around Staines so got plenty of exercise. Then came home and did 40 minutes of an exercise dvd-that did include the hard bits! Feeling really bruised and sore today-don't know why. This isn't my muscles feeling sore, it's as if I've been beaten up kind of bruised feeling. Wonder what causes that.

Am I ever going to get to goal? What worries me is that I'll get there and then put on again when I start on 1000. I must stop obsessing so much on what the scales say.

Frustrating!

Lost 2 1/2lb in the end last week-leaving me with just 3lb to go! Was hoping that if I managed to lose at least 2lb this week I would go up to 1000 next week, but do you think I can manage to get anything off at the moment? So far this week I have lost a measly 1/4lb! Think I am slightly constipated (tmi?), so hoping to lose before Monday morning. My CDC is going to be away soon so I need to get 2 weeks worth this time.

The inches are still dropping a bit. Lost another inch from my bust-making it 35 inches now (!) and also under my bust, making it 29 inches. Still need to start exercising so that I can tone up a bit more, but then my trousers might actually be too big again. My size 10's are now starting to get a bit roomy! Hoping and praying that next time I post it will be to say that I am finally at my goal weight!
