I can’t believe that some how I managed to not post to announce that I made it to 12.8, I think it is because I weighed in right before bed and my computer was off, I had planned to blog about it in the morning but I forgot. I do have that habit, if I fail to do something ‘right now’ I will forget, curse my old brain.

So yes, I did it…in a week when I hadn’t worked out at all due to a migraine (which is still lingering by the way, is it normal for a migraine to last 10 days, jeez) and wasn’t expecting to have lost any thing, I lost the 1lb I needed to bring me down to 12.8. That’s 3 stone lost in almost exactly a year, that’s 42lbs. I’m happy with that, I watch shows like The Biggest Loser and get insanely jealous when they drop a stone in one week – but really, those aren’t ‘real people in real situations’ – I think that a steady weight loss of 3 stone in 1 year is acceptable

I only wish I could tell more, it’s crazy to think I have lost so much but I can barely see it on myself.

I have called my next mini goal 12 stone, that’s 8lbs away and means I will have lost a total of 50lbs – it’s a pretty big goal for me as well, 12 stone was a number I had in my head when I first started out, it sort of symbolises the time in my head when I turn from a big fat blob, into some one who is just over weight. I’ll still have a long way to go, but I will feel a lot happier about myself at 12 stone.
