28 pounds and counting.......


I have finally lost the 4 pounds that I wanted to, meaning that I have now lost 2 stone (28 pounds), in 7 weeks!! I get the feeling that the next 2 stone will not come off as easily or as quickly!!
Losing the weight has alot of advantages ~ I feel so much better ~ I feel fitter ~ it is making a real difference.......BUT ~ it has it's down side too ~ mainly that none of my clothes fit me and my trousers are all falling down ~ I nearly completely lost my jeans on the school run this morning (believe me ~ that would have been shocking!!!!). I have also started to have weird dreams about giant bars of fruit and nut chocolate (compared to dreams which involved Brad Pitt!!!), so that is a bit strange!
I have completely worn out my trainers from the power walking ~ and am getting fed up of listening to the same songs on my ipod as we walk around!
SO ~ I have formulated a plan of action ~ that being ~
1. Buy some trousers that fit ~ before I have an accident and scare lots of children....
2. Buy a new (decent) pair of trainers.
3. Change the music on my ipod ....
4. Try my hardest to think of Brad Pitt every night before I go to bed ~
in the vain hope that fruit and nut chocolate can be banished from my dreams FOREVER!!!!!

Well Done Tabitha!!!
You are an inspiration to me to encourage me to lose weight. Or should i say thinspiration!
When you go to bed at night just think:- nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
You are looking great in your photos.
Well done again.
Love Amanda xx

i'm so excited for you, tabitha:D that is incredible!!! i haven't even been able to start mine, yet. so, i still have plenty to lose... and, i bet you do feel better. i always do when i'm on the thinner side.

dani

Hi Dani ~ I still have a long way to go (believe me!!).
I have been following a diet plan, it is basically calorie counting and I have cut out ALL junk (which has killed me ha ha!!!), also the power walking has helped and I have found muscles in places I never knew existed!!!

Thank you so much for the 'thank you' on your blog ~ I am glad it made you happy ~ I decided to send out some snail mail and get the ball rolling!!!
have a nice evening ~
love to you ~ Tabitha XXX

Hello Tabitha!

First of all: thank you so much for the snail mail (see my blog)!!

Secondly: 28 pounds is already amazing. Are you sure you wanna lose another 2 stone?? You'll fit into Lauren's pants (though they may be a bit on the short side)!

Be sure to get some well-fitting trousers by Sunday, who knows, Brad Pitt may be knocking on your door (or at least he can visit you in your dreams bringing flowers - not chocolates).

Love,
Tania

Hi Tania ~ You are so welcome ~ it was such a great idea of yours and I couldn't wait to try it out ~ I still have a few more snail mails to send!!
Believe me, there is still plenty to lose yet ~ I could do with probably losing another 3 stone ~ but am aiming for 2 at the moment!!
I was only about 8 stone before I had the children and then the weight sneaked on over the years (ha ha ~ nothing to do with the chocolate I ate of course!!), Now it is time to get it all off again!!
I am waiting for the door bell to ring any moment ~ but I think Brad has his hands full with Angelina and all those children!!!
love to you ~ Tabitha XXX
