Week 16 - Better late than never!

Sorry it has been a manic Chrissy week.  I am chuffed to report that I managed a 1.3kg loss on Monday bringing my weight to 78.5kg and a total loss of 24.5kg.

We have had a lovely Christmas - lots of wine and small amounts of delish food.  I really don't feel like I have missed out at all.  I got to eat the things that I really love only in much much smaller portions.  I didn't have to cope with the stuffed to the brim feeling after a long lunch.

I am due to do some comparison shots but as my Mum is away you will have to settle on this Chrissy photo of me and the kids : )

Week 15

OK - update time!  I have managed to stay in the 70's!  Today I weighed in at 79.8kg.  That is a loss of .9kg this week and total of 23.3kg.

Lots of Christmas parties this weekend so to be honest I think I am lucky to be where I am.  Having all dry weekdays this week to keep myself in check.

My work Chrissy do was a fancy event on the Brissy River, cocktail style, outdoors with views to die for.  As promised here is the LBD that I bought.  It felt so good not to be the huge girl and to show how far I have come.  My delicious date loved the dress and we had a wonderful weekend and stayed over night on the 30th floor of a city hotel.

Will try to post some more photos later when they upload them : )

Goals Update!

Well I hopped on the scales this morning and I am so excited - 79.8KG!!!!! 

I can't even remember the last time I was in the 70's!  The feeling is fantastic and I am on a high and so very very happy even though I am a couple of weeks off my goal.

Time to have a think about assessing my targets and what is realistic for me.

Anyway just HAD to share : )

Week 14

I know I am a few days late and tbh my body is driving me crazy!  I had my smallest loss ever this week only.4kg.  Bringing my weight to 80.7kg and a total loss of 22.4kg.

I have tried to shake things up a little eating a few less calories and less protein.  I so want to see the 70's on the scales but just can't seem to make it happen.  I am feeling frustrated!

Week 13

Well things really seem to have slowed down for me atm.  I have lost another .7kg this week bringing my total to 22kg and my weight to 81.1kg.  It seems that I love the 80's and my body is resisting any effort that I make to shift the scales significantly - but it will happen!

Life for me is great atm.  My confidence is soaring.  I love wearing my new clothes and getting compliments for people.  I feel happy.  Happy with my life, my body and my whole outlook has changed.

I have bought a beautiful single shoulder cocktail dress for my fancy work Christmas party.  I feel so beautiful in it and I can't wait to post a photo from the night.

Food wise I have been eating all sorts of different things.  Alot less quantity of course but I have tried a kebab, some Indian food, risotto and toasted sandwiches.  Slow and steady and it all goes down fine.

Going to be pushing hard to get into the 70's this week....  fingers crossed!

Friday Photo

A little different this week... with Abby and Zac.  I remember how I used to avoid the camera at all costs and hence there are few photos of me and the kids.  So very sad really. 

Happy weekend everyone!

Photo Update - 12 Weeks Post Op

Well I finally think you can see a difference!  I still don't love the current photos but what a difference in my face and tummy and legs!   Just got to keep going!
