42.5lbs lost....WOOHOO

I think the title says it all. I had my weigh in last night and I had dropped a massive 4.8kgs since my last weigh in, which means I have lost a total of 19.4kgs, or 42.5lbs or 3st 0.5lbs depending on which you prefer :o)

This is fantastic for me, I've NEVER lost this much weight before and I feel on top of the world. This just continued to inspire me to keep this up and drop to my ideal weight.

I've also managed to survive Christmas. I new it was going to be hard and it was. Sitting at the dinner table on Christmas day watching everyone eating their lovely Christmas dinner with all the things I just love to eat was hard, but, I did it. I sat there and had my chicken soup and joined in the fun. Same at tea time and on boxing day. I would never say to anyone that it wasn't easy, but it is possible to stick to your guns and not join in with the food and drink. I felt so good when I woke up yesterday knowing I had got through Christmas sticking to my food packs.

We are going to my wife's parents for tea on new years day, but this is something I'm sure I will be able to deal with given I've got through Christmas.

To say I'm pleased that I've lost just over 3 stone in 6 six weeks is an understatement, I could not be happier. I've also found some old 36" waist shorts I wore over 13 years ago. It is now my aim to get into these again. When they fit and will know I am fit again and have reached my target weight.

So hear is to 2008, a year in which my life is going to change in many ways....all for the better as well.

Happy new year to all and speak again in 2008.

Regards

BJ
