Happy Saturday everyone! @OneCoralCat welcome!

@TragicMuse - congratulations 🎉

Fab news @TragicMuse!

Nsv. Just walked around a NT place that I used to know. All the benches and stops for AND use the mobility bus to get back!!

Still got that strange feeling of feeling lighter in myself but seeing myself in mirrors when our realise how round I still am.

SHORTS!!

Those shorts look fab, @TragicMuse. Well done. Maybe by next summer I will be able to do the same.

I am on another break away from home. I am in London staying at my daughter's, to help her out with the grandchildren. It's hot and exhausting!!! But great fun.

I have walked double my normal amounts each day and I have mostly been sticking to meals and not snacking.
The one thing I am beginning to panic about is that I have not weighed for over a week and won't be able to until I get home on Wednesday. I thought I would be able to hop on my daughter's ones while here, but she has some that are smart and linked to her phone. I would die of embarrassment if she got a text telling her she had put on 10 stone overnight!!! But my head is playing games with me and I am feeling as fat as ever. I know I have to just be patient until Wednesday, but I am hoping it's not too bad then.

Wow @TragicMuse ! !! I'm very very round around my middle. I really hope I cna look like you eventually ♥️.

@PositiveAttitude when I went to London for a week, I couldn't weigh myself at all.

I also ate much more than usual because I was on holiday.

I knew I'd have gained weight when I got back home, and I absolutely had (3lb).

But as soon as I was back in my own home, I got back in the groove immediately, and have already lost 2 of the 3lb.

It did make my laugh to think about your daughter getting a notification that she's suddenly gained ten stone.
🤣

@TragicMuse you look fantastic! Get on vinted and buy more shorts at once!

Thanks @PositiveAttitude and @FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden! I’m quite stunned that they look as nice as they do! That’s me at 15st 5.75lbs. Under 2lbs off a 4 stone loss. I am itching for that landmark!

I took my scales away with me - only possible through it being a visit to my mum’s and going in the car! I don’t ordinarily do that! I also find it hard when away and not able to do normal WI, but it’s a holiday and I didn’t totally lay off the fun stuff - there was ice cream and wine, absolutely!

I am tempted!! Especially when they’re listed for a quid!!

They look fab muse well done

Today's shower musings...

I almost feel like I have a normal body ( I don't but it feels like it) but with this very lumpy stomach attachment. I can grab fistfulls and move them around. It's very very wobbly. It's also very very large. But the top bit is hardly there at all now ( I mentioned ages ago it felt like it was sinking lower) and I think back to when my stomach was even bigger but just part of me - now it's feelign foreign and like soemthing that will mostly go eventually (hopefully). It's so strange how there's less of it and it's sunk and it moves and is wobbly compared it it being solid!

I'm also, as well as walking, just able to move so much better and more fluidly. For my mobility exercise days I can get on and off the floor now without thinking and can move around into different positions in a way I couldn't before.

Its exciting. I want it to be NOW but it's also exciting.

@FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden you and I are tracking each other I think. I know what you mean about belly fat. Mine is feeling very wobbly as well.

My theory is that as we are in diet mode our bodies start to soften up the fat in preparation to being used.

I like that idea :). I'm getting a glimpse of what for me will likely be a lot of loose skin that's very move-able but I'm sfi hoping the round-ness will reduce!

Its so strange to be thinking 7months ago I had solid belly and much higher up and now that's just not there!

Flipping mini milestone still tantalisingly elusive.

Weigh in day and another 2kg off taking me into the next kg bracket. Edging towards my first target and very pleased.

SW - 306.6lb/21.9 stone/138.8kg
W4 - 285.8lb/20.5 stone/129.6kg

BMI has come down by 3 as well since starting which is great. I think my face is looking thinner and my friend asked if I'd lost some weight yesterday too.

That's great @Elephantscantjump my first noticeable weightloss was around my face.

Weigh day and I'm -3!

A torturous 1/2 pound away from 5 stone. That's spurred me into action for the coming week!

@FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden I am impatient too. My tummy still feels big but way softer like you said rather than rock hard.

I took comparison photos last night in my undies and honestly think I look the same?! Did I just lose nearly 5 stone from my face? Maybe 2 stone per cheek. And a little extra here and there. Measurements don't show much movement either, a cm or so in some places. WEIRD.

The first five stone for me didn'take much difference either, but from after that it fair whizzed down. You are all doing so well. Nearly.caught me up.and one been at this over two years.!

Fantastic to read about everyone's progress! And agree with others - you look great in those shorts @TragicMuse!

I'm on holiday- I'd posted a few days before we left wondering if I'd need a selt belt extender on the plane...I didn't!! Took a chance and didn't ask for one as we got on and it was fine - was very pleased! Definitely more comfortable generally doing stuff while away - did a fair bit of hilly walking yesterday and it was fine, I'm lying on a sun lounger not worried it's about to collapse and I fit into the chairs with arms at the breakfast buffet 😀 One thing I am a bit disappointed in though is that I'm almost eating as I would pre-MJ - 4 plates of buffet, pastries and cakes for breakfast etc - not naturally inclined towards healthy options at all. I had been feeling like the effects of MJ had worn off significantly for a few weeks before I came away despite moving up from 7.5 to 10 so I'm not too surprised. I am definitely less hungry between meals but going for it old-style at meal times 🙄 Now that I've acknowledged that in writing I'm hoping I reign it in a bit!

Weighed earlier. Officially lost 90 lbs. Can't quite believe it.

Got quite a few social events coming up. Hoping that it won't derail me.

I’m on holiday too and although we brought our food with us and I’m not drinking I still seem to be eating more calories than usual when I input what I’ve had into MFP! Had a couple of ice creams but honestly if you can’t have an ice cream on holiday then what’s the point?

Double post sorry!

It's so nice to read everyone's posts and all the ups and downs, that keep leading to a downward trend. I'm feeling a lot better but I'm very tired after being ill through the week, so I'm going to focus on decent bedtimes and hydration. And under eye cream and concealer to try and make me look human!
