I am pleased to announce that another pound has waved bye bye this week ~ this was not really a great achievement after 2 weeks of losing ZERO!!! But ~ I have come a long way ~ so I should expect it to slow down a bit! Also, I have decided that after being overweight for such a long time ~ the fat and my body are really good friends now and don't want to leave each other Bahahahahahah ~ well, that is my story and I a sticking to it tee hee!!!!
I have now lost 5 stone and 9 pounds (79 pounds) ~ so I am almost where I want to be ~ originally I wanted to lose 6 stone (84 pounds) ~ so I am 5 pounds away from that now. I think that I will lose that 5 pounds and then see how I feel at that weight ~ and decide where to go from there!
I also decided to update you with some dieting before and after pictures ~ so here goes.....
BEFORE..........


AFTER (ISH!!)

ALMOST THERE!!

When I get to my target weight ~ I will do a final before and after picture post ~ and then the real fun starts (NOT) of keeping the weight off (maybe I should just have my mouth sewn shut tee hee!!!!).
In other news...............My little lad is all ready and packed and excited about his trip to France tomorrow ~ he has everything that he needs ~ and he is all set! I bought him some travel sickness tablets today, as I am not sure what he will be like on a ferry, I just pray that it is a nice and gentle crossing (for Dan and his stomachs sake!).
Lauren is patiently waiting for her dance exam results ~ they are due any day now ~ maybe this weekend ~ the suspense is killing us all (literally!) ~ she goes on and on and on and onnnnnn (you get the picture ha ha !!). Needless to say, I will be glad when they arrive!
We are currently having glorious sunny and warm weather here ~ it is great!
Only one draw back ~ I have no summery clothes that fit ~ none, not a single item ~ so I had to swelter today in jeans and a jumper ~ if this weather continues, I will have to brave the shops again and kit myself out with some summery stuff!! I may even buy a skirt (shock, horror ha ha).
Well, best be off ~ had a hectic day ~ chasing 3 little children around the garden (I love my job when the sun is shining!) ~ so am off to bed!! Must be that old age (according to my darling daughter!) catching up with me.

Tabitha, you look so great :D
I'm so proud of you!!
oh my god you look fucking amazing!
like an entirely different person
BRAVO!!!! Your hard work and determination are paying off. You are a beautiful gal and I am so proud of you!
You are just too sweet for words. Everything about you is precious!
I'm proud of you also, and I know you've worked so hard, Tabitha. (hugs)
Tabitha I am so excited and proud of YOU. You are not only smaller but also so young looking in that last picture. I think that one of the best things about losing a very noticable amount of weight would have to be running into people who haven't seen you in a long time and seeing their reactions.
Be careful, you are quickly approaching "Babe" territory!
tabitha, you've ALWAYS been beautiful!!! i am delighted for you, though, that you have taken off the weight. it is so much more healthy for you. and, i'm so proud for you that you have stuck with it (i battle the sticking with it part;)!!!
i really hope dan has an awesome trip including the ferry ride and that lauren gets her results VERY soon (tee-hee!!!). however, given that she was moved up in her dance class, i'm CERTAIN that she will have exemplary marks:D
love,
dani
Oh My you look stunning...
I had'nt "known" you when you were "chunky"
And now look at you.
Go girl...Grrrrrr
Congrats, Tabitha!!! I love your scarf in the last picture :)
Aweh, Daniel is lucky!!! I want to go to France
Hi Tabitha
I laughed when I read about your theory on how your body and fat are good friends. Tabitha, your after photo is amazing, you look like you are in your early twenties and glowing. You really do look amazing. Your strength, determination and obvious comittment to your weight loss is so admirable.
Exciting times at your house as Dan is off to France and Lauren is anxiously awaiting her results.
Ahh, Lauren makes me laugh. Florence Nightingale??!! I remember when I was younger asking my mum and dad if they used a feather when they were at school. When you are young you seem to think that your parents were from the olden days. Anyone over 30 is ancient in the eyes of a child. Too funny.
Lots of love and hugs

Look at you!
You have done so well and you look fab!!!
You have lost a huge amount of weight and i admire you.
I can't get away with the difference between the before and after pictures. Amazing.
I'm sure it will be plain sailing across the Channel for Dan ~ he will be having so much fun with his pals that he will be in France before he realises the ferry has left England!
And i just know that Lauren has passed her dance exams with flying colours!
love,

Tabitha,
You are as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside. Sending you big hugs and a huge Contratulations for your weight loss. You are one determined lady.
I hope Dan has an awesome time in France. Can't wait to hear how he liked the chocolate.
Good luck to Lauren and I hope you hear something "very soon" for sanity's sake!!
Much love from NJ,
Sue

Again, congratulations, you are doing so well!! I'm sure you'll lose those last few pounds as well. Can I just add that I think you look a lot younger in that last picture.
I hope Dan didn't get sick on the ferry. He's probably having 'beaucoup' fun right now!! And for both your and Lauren's sake I hope you get those results back quickly!
Love,
Tania
PS: I'm really behind on blogging and I plan to do a post real soon to thank you for my lovely bracelet (I love it! Thank you!)and to continue the pay it forward.
How beautiful you were and are!!!
And I hope the pills work for your little one!!!hughugs
Looking good mama!
Tabitha! OMG OMG OMG! U look FANTASTIC!! YOu look soooo much younger in the last close up!! WOW!!!
I was thinking that maybe you should just visit Oxfam or some other opshop to get some clothes until it's time for the final big buy. You've spent such a fortune on getting clothes to fit over the last few months!! It might be better to go 2nd hand for a while! LOL
I ROFL when I read your' Friends with Florence' post. Kids are toooo funny!
Have a wonderful weekend, dont miss your little man too much.
