Well it can now officially be said I am no longer "Severely Obese"!!!!! This week I have lost 4lbs taking me to 17st 12lb. This makes my BMI is now under 35 wow! The last time I was under 18 stones was before I got pregnant with Megan, who is now 7.
I can't quite believe it as it hasn't been an easy week. We went out for my father in law's birthday on Thursday (day after my weigh in) and had a lovely meal. I chose hot salmon salad with a soy and ginger sauce which was delicious. I had chosen before I went but had to guess at the points as it was not listed in the Eat Out guide. I am suprised how my attitudes towards food has changed since starting Weightwatchers. Back in January (just after I joined), we had been planning to go to the very same restaurant for a meal for my birthday. After looking at the points on foods out, I had decided that the only thing I could safely have was a salad and was NO POINT in going out for a meal and "only having a salad". So we didn't go. Now, a bit better educated and taste buds having changed, I was really looking forward to "only having a salad". Everyone else was having a dessert and I decided I wasn't going to torture myself by not having one. So I ordered Eton Mess, which was strawberries, meringue and double cream. I tried to order what I thought would be lower in points and since strawberries and meringue are low and there was no pastry, I thought it would be ok. This was followed by a full fat costa hot choc. I know I shouldn't have full fat but it had been ordered and paid for before I returned from the toilet. This said I think I went over my points by about 3 that day on my estimates. So a good outing all round I think.
I have had plenty of salads this week as it has been warm and I wanted to be careful after the meal out, especially with only estimating the points values. I have only been swimming at the Splash Club on Sunday this week due to my knees flaring up again but I have tried to keep moving at home. I have also been much better with controlling picking this week and this has clearly paid off.
I now have 5 more weigh ins before we renew our vows. After my first 10 weeks my weightloss average predicted I would be down to 17st 2lbs by the Renewal. Now after my 20th weigh in, I am still on track for that. Five weigh ins to go and 10lbs to lose for that target. I don't mind if I don't reach it, but it would be nice. My average works out to 2lb a week so I couldn't be happier. I have 1lb to lose to make 3 stone gone at Weightwatchers and that would make 5 stone in total since last September. I have to say I am really pleased with my loss and thankful for all the support that has helped me to get here.
This week, the plan is to continue as before but now dropping to 22 points a day and to try to excercise more (knees permitting). If not, Megan and I will be at Tesco's on Saturday taking part in a bag pack to raise money for our disability swimming club. At least that will keep me moving.
Keep up the good work everyone,
