Well done Auriga! Are you going to set yourself a new lower Valentine's target now?

Hi @callyanna and thank you. I think I shall see how I go for a bit first because there isn't a lot of time left....getting close to the ultimate goal means things slow down....I shall maybe decide on Friday's weigh in.

Very well done Auri.

I seem to be losing weight quite rapidly this week now and wonder if I ought to reign it back a bit. (You can lose too fast I think?) My ultimate goal of 55k isn't far off. I am beginning to wonder if that goal is going to be right for me or should I go for less? I am 5'3" and very small framed...I still have quite a bit of fat around my middle. I suppose I can make that decision when I get to 55k. I am not young and don't want to overdo it.

I have been zig zagging again between 57k and 58k....plateau stepping I think I shall call it! I reach my 57k new target and then it slips away from me the next day. Drat it.

You are doing great Auri. No idea how much I weigh at the moment. Need to buy some scales

Hello @rawkaren thank you for your post! You need to get those scales for next week's Valentine's Challenge weigh in! Get shopping Karen.

I am so close to 57k now it's driving me mad! Something similar happened when I was trying to get to 60k before Christmas....my body is having a game with me. I really don't mind though....just logging my thoughts for future reference.

Did it! the scales show 56.7k today....yay!

well done Auriga, your perseverance has paid off!

Oh Auriga. I'm really quite envious. Right that's it..... I have just ordered my scales. They arrive next week

Thanks for the support @callyanna I appreciate that a lot. @rawkaren I am so pleased you've ordered the scales! yay!
P.S. I am still 56.7k today....

Congrats on your loss Auriga! Your progress is inspirational!

Thank you for that comment @cblasz....I've never thought of myself as being inspirational...wow!

I am pleased with myself today...I didn't want to post on the Valentine's Challenge page as it seemed inappropriate somehow.....but I am a size 8/10 now and I can't believe it.
I went into M&S yesterday as hubby has lost 4" off his waist and was in dire need of new trousers! (Which we purchased in case you think I forgot) I tried on a size 10 top whilst in there and it was too big and so I came out with a size 8! Oh the joy of that moment. Well M&S are quite generously sized. Off I went to John Lewis and was just browsing the coats in the sale....tried a size 12 on & it swamped me....I am not used to this. They didn't have a size 10 and the size 8 was a bit long! I have shrunk. Who left me out in the rain!

I have maintained 56.7k for three days now....wow! I had thought when I started all this back in September that it would take forever to get to 58k, which was my original goal weight, and now I am at 56.7k and heading for my newest goal of 55k....but I am now thinking maybe that's not quite low enough, should I aim for 54k? There's still quite a bit of fat left on me, so maybe....hmmmmm?
