Into the 12's I go!

Well after Weigh In on Saturday I was THRILLED!!!!!

I weighed in at 12stone 12.6lbs! I can't believe it. I lost 2.4lbs this week and finally made it into the 12's! This means that I have lost a total of 55.6lbs meaning I need 0.4lbs to get my 8th Silver Seven - yup the big 4 stone!

So I made the decision this week to change my "goal" weight from 11 stone 1lb to 10 stone 12.2lbs. This way I get to lose 6 stone exactly and be only 3lbs lower than the top end of my healthy weight range. 

Currently my BMI is 29 - Yep folks I am now Overweight :-)

Here is how my stats have changed in 28 weeks...

Weight 16stone 12.2lbs -- Now 12stone 12.6lbs
Body fat % - 40.4% -- Now 33.6%
BMI - 37.9 -- Now 29
Muscle Mass % - 31.1% -- Now 33.2%

I love seeing these little changes happening alongside the scale changing. It just adds to the satisfaction of losing weight.

* still can't believe that I am TWELVE stone something. I mean, is does not feel real *

Today I fitted into a size 14 pair of jeans - it just feels great.

Anyway, nothing much to report in other aspects of life! I am on nights (again)! This weekend, so will be weighing later than usual once I have woken from my slumber on Saturday. Just have everything crossed for my 0.4lb loss!

This week I was craving a take away and wanted my usual... Vegetarian Kebab, Pitta and Chips. In my *old* life I would have not even thought twice about ordering this. However, I did not. I still have not had one chip this year or any take aways come to think of it! (Too much of a slippery slope). So, I went to the shops, bought some peppers, mushrooms, courgette and some WW pitta. My OH fried the veg in frylite and served up the biggest plate of veg ever! (See pic!) It tasted amazing, was cheaper and better than the take away would have been and was very low in points.

I also discovered the Pizza Express Lighter Range of Pizza that you can buy in Tesco. I was so happy to find that they are only 11pp each for the whole pizza and all I can say is WOW. I have found my new obsession. 

I have continued each and every day to do my exercise. I have been doing some mega fast and long walks with my OH and running as always. I have been doing Jillian Michaels' DVD I am currently on day 11 of the No More Trouble Zones DVD. I must admit I have not done this one every day as I have her others as it is all weights so I tend to do it every other day and do plenty of cardio in between. 

I guess whatever I am doing is working so I shall carry on! 

Thank you for reading... Good luck in all of your journeys! 

Today is day 200 on the wagon for me. I have exceeded my own expectations.
