Not quite there......but almost did it!!

Tonight was my last weigh in for 2008 ~ as we are heading off to my Mums on Sunday for Christmas and New Year!! (that is the plan ~ if I ever get packed and sorted out before then ha ha !!).

This week I lost 4lbs ~ which amazed me ~ as it has been slowing down quite a bit recently ~ but with a little extra effort I have managed to lose a total of 5 stone and 1 pound (71 pounds!) ~ which I am pleased with ~ my original goal was to lose 6 stone by christmas (which is 84 pounds) ~ so I almost did it ~ just not quite!!

I intend to ease off ever so slightly now and enjoy the festive season (responsibly tee hee) ~ I am having a total day off on Christmas day ~ that day is a diet free zone ~ but come boxing day I will be back to being careful again ~ there is no way I am going back up the dress sizes again (not if I can help it anyway!!!).

My next weigh in is on 7th Jan ~ and hopefully I will not have done any damage ~ the ideal would be to have stayed the same and not put anything on ~ but time (and a mince pies or two!!!) will tell!!

I haven't been up to much today ~ just busy with the same old stuff really! I have a day off tomorrow so I am looking forward to that sooooo much!!

Best go to bed ~ as it is after midnight and my alarm is set to go off at 6am ~ I will never get up otherwise!! XXX

Oh Tabitha I am so happy for you. You have worked so hard and have achieved amazing results. I admire your discipline and commitment, it certainly does require a whole lot of will power and determination when there are so many temptations.

I am happy that you are going to enjoy all the yummy food on Christmas day, a few extra walks and the scales will never know!! Well, that's my theory anyway.

Lots of love and hugs
Elise

Congratulations Tabitha on your weight loss! In the beginning I thought you had set an unrealistic goal for yourself, but see how close you've come!! You amaze me with your willpower!!!

I'm sure that those other pounds you mean to shave off will disappear in the coming year! I'm so proud of you already!

Love,
Tania
