My Christmas target


I've decided that I need an ambitious target to get me though to Christmas. I am going to take a deep breath and aim for 12 stone 7lbs. This will take me to within 4lbs of being simply "overweight" so I would be absolutely delighted with this. 11 years ago I got to roughly this weight before I gave up so I'd be delighted to get here as I know I was looking good.

I am trying very hard to lose 2.5lbs this week as I know it will take me to the 13s. Also, it will take me to less than 50lbs to go until a healthy BMI. A healthy BMI is something I have only ever dreamed off and have never had, although I did get to within a couple of pounds of it in 1992.

After I get past 13 stone 13.5lbs I'll be aiming for 13 stone 7 as this will mean I have lost 12 stone. Then I'll aim for 12 stone 13lbs to get me into the 12s and 12 stone 9lbs which will see me having lost 50% of my body weight. WOW!!!

On 20th December we are having our works Christmas party at the Jury's Inn hotel. I am determined that I'll be looking good for then. My boss told me yesterday I should buy a "frock" (who uses that word anymore?) to wear. I've never worn a "frock" in my life so I don't think so!!! However, I have got a top in mind that I would love to wear. I'll keep you posted.

Jack1703 from the ww+5 board here. You STILL never cease to amaze me vicky! well done on your recent wiegh ins. I'm feeling a bit fed up at the minute as I keep only losing 0.5-l1b a week despite swimming and sticking to my points. I'm not giving up though as I really want to get this wieght off sooner rather than later, so I'm still using you for inspiration!! :). do you mind me asking vicky have you much loose skin, I have a lot at the top of my arms? don't see you posting much on the +5 boards now, have you left us? Keep up the great loss and well done again

Honestly buy a dress - it's hugely liberating and you will feel SO FEMININE!!
