Weigh In (Week 5)

By Groovybabe • Jul 13th, 2007 • Category: being motivated, celebrations, weighing in, weightloss

I can’t believe week 5 is here already, it feels like yesterday that I started this thing! And at least I am as determined today as I was the day I started - the battle won!

So, I am 5 pounds down this week. When I started 5 weeks ago I weighed 19 stone (266lbs,  121kg) and today I weighed in at 17 stones 10 pounds (248lbs, 112.7kg), how amazing is that?! I feel so successful this week! I still can’t believe I am in the 17 stones range! At17.10 I am now right where I was before I fell off the wagon a year ago and have lost more than I did that time.  A quote from my weightloss nurse says it all:

The difference is, last time you were waiting for the weightloss to happen. This time you’ve gone out and made it happen.

Of course, it is more complicated than that but as I said to her, I really think I might do it this time. I am still in awe of my loss. 248pounds. Under 250! I absolutely cannot wait to be in the 230’s, that seems so unlikely and yet it’s not, it’s 9lbs away! As usual you can see my stats here.

    Congratulations. Keep up the hard work, and you’ll keep losing and eventually - maintaining!

    I had a… moment of clarity? … last night and have rededicated my efforts and my perspective on weight loss. It’s never easy or uncomplicated, but it is doable!
