Thank you hon! It is quite exciting, if a little scary - not sure how I'll be at maintaining, never really got to that stage before, lol.xx

Lol, thanks Lexie, I do hope so!
LisaM1977 said:I am hoping I will find maintaining easy considering I have only lost 0.5lb in few months haha
You both have done fantastically well

Yes it definitely does.. I think it's Defo better in the long run to lose weight slowly, especially towards the end, as you say it is then more like a way of life xThanks, Lisa! I think I'm going to more or less carry on with what I'm doing now to be honest, which is pretty low in the week and a bit more at the weekends, as I'm very used to it now so it doesn't feel like dieting, it's just my life, if that makes sense, lol.

It's really worth hanging in there and plugging away at it, in my case for over two years, lol. xx
Pretty good thanks Sharon! Been feeling a bit sorry for myself this week because I've had terrible pain in my face, all in the left side. Went to the dentist, she did xrays and thinks it's sinusitis, so I'm on penicillin now. But all good apart from that - I even feel reasonably prepared for Christmas for a change, lol.
Diet wise it's all fine. I actually took a "selfie" yesterday, whilst trying on some clothes in Matalan - I don't have a full length mirror at home so don't often get the chance, so here it is next to a "before" shot:

I do look old and tired (I've not been well, lol), but at least getting slimmer!
I've been reading all your posts - you're super organised for Christmas by the sound of it, and I think I did comment that I love your tree! Hoping to put ours up tomorrow, just an artificial one but it always looks pretty. We're off to my sisters this afternoon for mince pies and mulled wine - yum!! Doesn't bode well for my weigh in tomorrow, lol.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
. Made such a huge difference to your life hey. It does get difficult with Xmas get togethers this time of year but hey I'm sure we're all more in control than we've been in the past. Always feels nice to get the Xmas decs up, though Dave has insisted on putting up some musical bells outside that are motion sensitive which are really annoying lol Sorry to hear about the sinusitis, Dave has had that on occasions so I've witnessed how painful that can be, hope it clears up soon xx

Getting there re Xmas - just needed it to fall into place in a chilled way this year so no last min rush. I picked up some party bits in iceland earlier that were £1 instead of £2. Enjoy the mince pies and mulled wine, sounds yummy.
And we won't even go into the mince pies and homemade chocolate truffles! Still, no more naughtiness on the radar until my work Christmas lunch on the 18th, thank goodness. xx

Really amazing losses, and those before and after pics just say it all (and you don't look tired at all, just like someone in the middle of the delight called Christmas shopping
Did you keep a food diary or anything like that? I'd love to know more.

Thanks Sharon! I've been well and truly plied with mulled wine at my sister's - 3 glasses!! Considering I haven't had a drink for months and am on antibiotics, it went ever so slightly to my head, lol. Hic.
I'm the same with drink these days - a cheap date as they say sometimes it does us all good to throw caution to the wind and indulge a little - back with renewed enthusiasm then to our diets huh. You've done fab Tracy xx
