Morning.

I changed my mind yesterday and had a BLT for breakfast.   I know, weird, but it was delicious and satisfying.


I didn't take any other photos, sorry.

Weigh in:
Well, where do I start?
Firstly, three and a half pounds off.  Woo hoo - or words to that effect.

Secondly, I'm half one and a half pounds under the lowest I was before my world (and weight loss) turned upside down with my mum's death.  In other words, I'm on my way again.

Thirdly, I am into the BMI healthy banding again.

Finally, and really so important to me, although not in SW terms, since I started losing weight after my gallbladder crash, I have now lost SIX STONES (and half a pound).  I've gone from goodness knows what XXXL size to size 12/10, from whatever I could find in the way of clothing to being selective and critical.  I've gone from the point of totally giving up to real hope for my future.  Last week I was close to despair but, thanks to you and your encouragement, I have picked up.  This week I know I can do it again.  Sometimes it helps to take the lomg term view.

And to add to that, the trifle I took to the taster evening was quite a hit.  I am so pleased.

Ten and a half pounds to go to target.

      Bless you, you have been one of my biggest encouragers, thank you so much.
      It's so hard to get started. I needed a health crisis to boot me up the bum and into losing weight but I'm glad about it now, even if it was miserable at the time.
