Day something or other - mid way through week 8

Have been tardy, again, with updating the blog; what can I say?! Busy, busy, life gets in the way, etc? All excuses....I suspect the real reason is that I've absorbed, normalised, got used to CD and the novelty has worn off a bit. I'm a great one for a nine day wonder (aren't I, C?!)

Anyway, here I am part way through week 8, two stone and three and a half pounds lighter than I was seven weeks ago. 31.5lb. Which is astonishing, really. Some people wouldn't lose that on weight watchers in a year. The weight of a - what - two year old? older? No idea. I think I'll do the 'piling up the lard in the supermarket' trick again so that I can see exactly what 31.5lb of fat looks like. I suspect it isn't pretty.

Dress size wise, most things are hanging off me and have been consigned to the charity bag, but my frock for the September wedding remains firmly and staunchly out of reach. I am starting to think I need a back up plan. (Alternative plan A, thank you Moo, doesn't fit either) Or do I hang on until a week before the wedding and then have to rush out and buy a whole wedding outfit - dress, jacket, shoes, hat? Either way, actually, I have to rush out and buy a few things closer to the wedding, as I'm holding off the shoes/bag/hat for the existing (and out of reach) dress for now as well, no point buying a whole suite of things in brown/cream when I might end up in something else entirely.

Still, its a nice problem to have.

Today's stats:

Weight -12'9.5
Total lost - 31.5
To goal - 24.5

Oh - and am celebrating being merely overweight as opposed to obese, as BMI has dropped below the magic 30 for the first time in years.
