I've been hovering around 16 stone 1lbs all this week. Let's see what my official Friday weigh-in brings tomorrow. I did see 15 stone 11lbs one morning which was very exciting.
I'm not sure whether to drink or not on Friday night. I'm thinking 'not'. We'll be staying in because we can't afford to go out, so there's probably not much point to it anyway. I know it's my downfall, so it would be sensible to avoid it as much as possible.
I'd like to go for a really long walk this weekend, perhaps along the seafront, which goes on for miles and miles.

Sweaty Betty
It's so hot! Beautiful down here by the sea, not so nice in London I should imagine, glad we're not living in the flat in the middle of the smoke anymore.
The chubby thighs are still causing a problem, but it must be said that the thinner I get, the less troublesome they are. At 18 stone it was painful, and I remember them being absolutley rubbed raw one summer :-( this year it's not so bad, but there's a way to go yet.
We didn't do our long long walk up on the hills, but we have walked around the town quite a bit and my eating has been saintly. It's amazing how the weight falls off when I'm not derailed at weekends by booze and 'treats'.
Another friend of mine put some photos up on Facebook from a night out about a month ago. I'm shocked to say that I don't hate them! For so long I've dreaded Facebook fatty photos appearing after a get together with old friends. I hate the fact that friends of friends (boys I fancied at school, people who knew me many years ago when thin) might see how big I've become and I have no control on vetting them. I'm ashamed and embarrassed. Not for much longer. These photos were not too bad at all. Yes, I look chubby and bigger than I was years ago, but I look ok. I don't look enormously obese like I did 18 months ago. And it can only get better, and easier to look at photos of myself as my weight goes down.
The scales are being buggers again!! Yesterday I saw an extremely low figure.... and then an extremely high figure! I must try to resist having a sneaky peak every morning!

Weigh In Friday
The scales ranged from 16 stone 2lbs to 16 stone exactly this morning. Very pleased with either really. It's either 4lbs lost or 6lbs lost from last Friday so I'm thrilled.
I really can not wait to see 15 stone something again. It's been about 10 months since I last saw it, and even then it didn't last long! This time it will.
So my goal for next Friday: I'd really like to see 15 stone 13lbs.
It's going to be super hot this weekend, so I'm not sure what will happen to the planned walking, we'll see how it goes.

Temperamental Scales
I got on them this morning (weigh in is not until tomorrow, but I just couldn't resist!) and to my absolute horror they said 16 stone 10lbs! How so?, it can't be right! So cue getting on a off an few times, when they said 16 stone 4lbs, gulp, why do they do this to me! Off I went to have my branflakes and I couldn't resist AGAIN hopping on just to see if I really was 16 stone 10lb and the last few weeks of being virtuous were a dream. I got on and 15 stone 13lbs people! So only an eleven pound difference then, sod those bloody scales of cruelty!!!
I have no idea what I weigh now. But the way I feel I am most definitely not 16 stone 10lbs. I just know I'm not. I'd say probably around 16stone 3lbs/4lbs. We'll see what weigh in brings tomorrow.
I'm avoiding social activities and booze again this weekend, and hoping to get some decent hill walking in again. I know that booze and bbqs are my downfall so none of them for a while.

Walking up hills
Have just been for a 4 mile walk up and down some very steep hills on the South Downs. I am rather pleased with myself. Must ty to incorporate more of these kind of days into my lifestyle.
Really glad I am on plan this weekend, it's exactly the kind of weekend I needed, no alcohol, good eating, plenty of walking. Might go for a bike ride tomorrow.

Weigh In
The scale said 16stone 6lbs dead on this morning. Quite pleased with that. I weighed twice so I'll take it as being accurate (bloody scales)
That means I've lost in the region of 3 to 5 lbs since Monday! (hard to tell as the aforementioned scales are temperamental) Very pleased indeed.
I hope to be at 16 stone 3lbs next Friday.

Day Four
Things are still going well. I'm very pleased with myself. I have gotten back on track this week and it's not easy to do.
Yesterday I had around 1500 cals again.
I'll weigh in tomorrow morning although my scales really piss me off! I had a sneaky peek yesterday and was very pleased with 16 stone 3lbs (omg!) but got on again a few minutes later and they tell me 16 stone 10lbs. That's a big bloody difference. Maybe I need to weigh in at Boots or something- or perhaps leave the scales in the exact same position all the time, as maybe the floor is uneven?!
I must also start taking more photos of myself. It will help spur me on and will be good to see the difference as I become thinner.
