I finally broke through the 11.7 barrier this morning with a WI of 11.6.4 
The words 'ten stone something' are whispering somewhere in the darker recesses of my brain... at the rate I'm losing it will be a long time yet, especially with a big holiday looming, but that's fine. I reckon by the end of the summer my wardrobe will be ready for another prune; perfect timing as some of my summer frocks are many years old and looking less than fresh.
I am living proof that if you keep plugging away, moving on quickly after bad days (and I've really had some recently) and keeping the faith, the weight will eventually go. I'm feeling good, getting lots of compliments and am especially delighted to have found bone structure in my face. Who knew that was there? It must be an age thing as my face was plumper years ago at this weight.
Mr Winsome is also doing really well. He's done 5:2 rigidly since he started, and is now within his target zone. One more lb to go before he stops 5:2 and goes into maintenance! His too-tight trousers are now loose so he's a happy chap. Incidentally, he feels that key to his success is saving some calories every day for some strong cheddar cheese to nibble on in the evening. We both passed up canapés and cava at a school event last night, which was TOUGH, but at least there was cheese at home We perhaps wouldn't have been such martyrs if not for the fact that we are away for a long weekend now!

Slow and steady wins the race
