My DJ was playing Aaron Coplands fanfare for the common Man when I stepped onto the scales....lovely...and why....because I continue to be predictable, slow an sure....another pound of unwanted energy has been used up, never to return. So that's thirteen pounds of excess energy burnt away and it feels really good.
I am so enjoying the great choices of food that I'm now able to cook...thank you to Shellie, ruth., et al......and thank you to Lucca and Lizzy for the encouragement of the K challenges.
At 14 St 1lb, there's still a fair few stone of energy to use up but it's all is in my control...I am doing this with your support.
Thank you for making this journey so interesting and enjoyable. There are so many cliches about its the journey and not the destination...and that is so true here on this site.
Go us!😄. Let the drum sound...let the trumpets play! Yeah!

I've also noticed that celebrations happen , I enjoy the odd glass or restaurant meal..and I still burn off the pound a week....good luck this week Andy.
I'll need it. Two weeks in fuertaventura starting tomorrow so will be drinking which I don't normally do and eating more. Not going to deprive myself on holiday but will try and be careful. Usual ice cream on the beach is a big no no.
Have a wonderful holiday! So envious! On the positive...when eating out, there's no change of piling the plate and ...then going back for seconds. My downfall on a sunny pm on holiday is lager.....ummmmm....naughty of me to mention that...I'm in the wrong zone now😉
Congratulations on losing another pound, and to achieving a total loss of 13 pounds - you're getting very close to a stone, and to getting close to the 13's. Really exciting!
Whoop Whoop!!! well done PP. 13lb, that's nearly a stone!!.....and you're nearly in the 13's You're doing amazingly well and slow and steady is definitely the way to do it.
Hi Spader and thank you....I think that the surprising thing is that at about a pound a week, it all seems to add up so quickly.....am really inspired by the wonderful people here on the site ...😄
Just brilliant Portlandprincess 'another one bites the dust'.... your almost at your first milestone as well so 'ain't no stopping us now' so ' keep on moving' your doing great hun and I am really pleased for you very well done x
Trafford! Now I have three earworms! Thank you 😃...it's really funny when the earworms are trumpet fanfares too....do you get those?....I often have the 2001 space oddessey playing away..in my head....especially when I walk out of work and the Suns shining...
Sounds like 13 is your new lucky number, 13lbs burnt off for good, and 13s on the scales, imminently. Congrats on another consistent steady loss. Keep that positive attitude going 😊
Hi Portlandprincess, 'tis me, the unpostable lol. Love your post. I have been reading through everyones and the positivity on here at the moment could power an electric substation it is shining out that strong! Superb weightloss again hunny, you're journey is progressing steadily which gives you time to adjust and make changes that are sustainable and well thought out. I made Ruths granola recipe yesterday and put it into little tubs for my daughter, she picked one up on her way out of the door this morning ( prefers an extra 10 minutes in bed to prepping herself some breakfast). So I will be getting her feedback later on it, I did get a 'looks nice' as she hotfooted it to her car though, lol.
Thank you Shellie...what a lucky daughter...I too would have snuck the extra ten mins when a younger girl....but would have suffered the hunger pangs!...have a super week, let us know how the tasting session went.
Well the empty pot was plopped into the sink and 'I'll take one tomorrow' as daughter dashed past me on her way out to the gym a little earlier. I will probably be in bed when she gets back in. I am presuming the granola was good though ir she wouldn't take another pot, lol. 😊
Yeah - PP - was wondering where you'd been and have just found this post (thanks to trawling the news feed and you just posting !) Well done - you are doing fab-u-lous (especially as I think you said you've been busy with work loads ?)
Hi Lucca! Yep, pleased with my lot ....And went to mine head butlins for a 70s weekend too! So a bit tired after all that dancing around to the brotherhood of man lol....Although not totally to plan, did enough exercise to sort out the hiccups.
- Im in a similar place so if you dont mind - I'll feel proud too standing alongside - I have 2.6lbs to go before the 13s but it's been a tricky week and I dont expect to have lost anything next time xx
