1st Christmas Party of 2010

Total weight loss now 4 stone 2llbs (58llbs).  Down 4 dress sizes and still my clothes are a bit loose!  This is great. Keeping up with the aqua fit and even the instructor has pointed out the difference in what I can do compared to when I started.  I am just all round feeling so much healthier and fitter.  If this is the difference the first 4 stone has made I can't wait to see what difference the next 4 stone will make to me.  I am really enjoying the compliments, its been so long since I had any thing other than 'you've got a pretty face'!!!!


After the halloween party I remembered just how much I liked fancy dress but it got so difficult the bigger I got.  So now its a little easier, I thought I would start organising some more. Last night I had a girlie party with a Christmas theme.  A fabulous time was had by all, everyone made such an effort to dress up and I, for the first time since I can't even remember, wore a dress!!!  I had so many compliments.  I am again feeling very lucky to be surrounded by such good friends.  Thought I would share a few photos...

 

A Welsh Weekend

This last week has been very up and down..literally!  pound on... pound off... pound on.. you get the picture!!!  But the good news is overall I have lost another 3llbs,  53llbs in total now.  I am definatley into a size 20 and still hoping to get into an 18 by my holiday in 27 days time!! don't think I will make it but I am going to have a dam good go.

I had an excellent weekend this weekend.  Its my Mums birthday this week so I went to Wales to take her out for the day.  We managed to get tickets for the CIA where they were showing Wales v South Africa Rugby on the big screen and had 7 bands playing over the course of the day.  The head liner as far a s I am concerned was Goldie Lookin Chain who were just brilliant, hadn't really heard of the other bands but the audience seemed to know who they were.  Maybe I am getting old!!! Anyway, I would like to wish my Mum a very Happy Birthday for the 19th and say what a fabulous time I had with you on Saturday.  3 months ago I would never have been able to stand, and jump and dance for that long... my legs would not have taken it!  Maybe next time we do a whole weekend festival???? lol!

This weeks Woman Magazine, issue 46....

Thats me.......

Time to SHOP!!!!!

Just had a wardrobe clear out!!!! my previously bulging wardrobe has been reduced to this!!! It is great that the few items left are ones that I have not fit in for years some of them still have tags on as they did not fit when they were bought, but I have nothing to wear!!!!!  So I have spent the last hour or so trying to replenish my fading cupboard.  Not to mention I am going on holiday in December so I have had to shop for that too... So far I have purchased 17 items today.  Must get the  ones that are to big for me there to sell so I have more money to buy MORE clothes... this is fun.....  I LOVE MY SLEEVE....

The Big 5 0

Not a huge amount to report this week.  Been working hard, work seems to be picking up after a very quiet October... dam the media!!! Been to Aqua Fit on Tuesday and Thursday and I am now thinking of joining another class at the weekend.  I have felt my clothes getting looser but only a loss of 3llbs this week.  Not to worry as that brings my total weight loss over another hurdle.... the 50llb mark.... YEY!!!!  I have now lost 4 clothes sizes!!! I feel amazing, everyone has noticed and tell me how great I look.  I seem to have developed a false sense of confidence which is funny, I feel slimmer than I am at the moment! Weird thing to say, I know!  I walk down the street and I don't get as many people staring at me as I used too but if they do, I wonder what they are staring at!  forgetting I am actually still fat!

I am appearing in Woman magazine next week (issue 46) which is exciting!  I won some money on bingo and they called to ask what I was going to spend the money on,  well I just happen to need a whole new wardrobe! so they have made a feature of it.  If you do buy a copy, be aware that my idea of sexy beachwear is losing the giant sarong!!! lol!!!

I  am going out for a meal at a friends house tonight.  This is going to be a new experience.  Not done this since the op, so I will try to mind my table manners and not burp too much!!!

Well until next time...... happy losing xxx
