I hope over the next few weeks to really push myself, like really really as it would be great if I were able to get down to my next mini goal of 12.8 before my birthday on March 20th. It was my birthday last year when I started on this journey and it would feel like a great accomplishment to be able to say that I have lost 3 stone in 1 year. I feel like I lose weight really slowly, and I do, I can go for 4 or 5 weeks working my booty off and only lose a lb..or sometimes even nothing….so I always feel down on myself, like I should be doing better, like I am not doing enough, like I could be losing faster – especially when you see other people talking about dropping weight fast on various web sites online, or watch shows like the biggest loser where they drop a stone in a week!

But when I look at it like that, 3 stone in 1 year, 42 lbs in 1 year….that seems perfectly acceptable.

That means losing 4lbs in 5 weeks however, almost a lb a week…eep, when you are a slow loser like I am that seems like an awful lot. But I am going to give it a real go
