Weight loss 42 lbs in 4 months
Woo hoo! I’m still losing. This morning on my home scales I was 257 lbs (2 lb off this week)
I’ve looked back and there was only one blip (5lb on) and that was Christmas and instead of that leading to a reversal of all the good work I’d done to date (as it’s always done before), I got right back to it…
I’m almost daring to hope that finally, after 15 years of morbid obesity, I have found my way….

I’m so glad to hear that you have tamed your old habits and that Christmas was just a bump in the road for your wagon, not an excuse to fall right off the wagon! I’ve been there too and it feels great to take care of myself.

Lesley- I know I will this time. It would kill me if I quit now- it won’t happen. I feel too good to return to being 300 lbs + where everything was such a struggle 😦 I really hope you get to where you want to be. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It is time!! Just been to the Dr’s who has doubled my blood pressure tablets!! In an attempt to get them lowered again I have just made a chuck-away-soup from the remnants of the fridge and some potatoes – it is surprisingly nice – Leeks, onions, mushrooms and celery – all a bit wilting but good for soup and hopefully filling and nutritious!
Housework is done to the dulcet tones of David Bowie – my ”me” time 🙂
