10th Weekly Weigh-In

I have officially reached my first "silver seven" loss!!

They do things a bit differently in England compared to WW in the US. In the US you celebrate 5lb. losses and here you celebrate 7 lb. losses since they measure in stones (7 lbs. is 1/2 stone) and two "silver sevens" is one stone. So yay! My first milestone since I have been here (11 weeks tomorrow).

Stats are now at 12 st. 11 lbs. (which makes another 1.5 lb. loss) and I'm finally out of the 180s!! My weight now is 179 lbs. Counting what I lost in the states, I'm down a total of 34.2 lbs. and I'm so anxious to reach 40. I have even set up a mini-tracker on here to make my UK 10% (11 st. 13 lb.) by Christmas. That's 12 lbs. in just 10 weeks and I think if I focus, I will be able to do it.

I've been SOOO good about tracking my food every night and FH has been a great help when I can't remember. Plus, now he tries his best to guess how many points will be in a serving of something for me when we go grocery shopping. He never hesitates to tell me how proud he is of me and that makes it so much better because I feel like we're a team. He doesn't have weight to lose, in fact, he could stand to gain some...and food doesn't affect him the same (fast metabolism -- so unfair), but he doesn't miss a beat when it comes to helping me reach my goals. In fact, with us finally living together now, he sees how successful I am when I track and how unsuccessful I am when I don't or when I cheat.

Anyway, the wedding is now 16 days away and I'm so excited. Although I am happy about 3 lbs. loss in just 2 weeks, I do need to be careful as I want my dress to still fit and not hang off me. Wish I could say the same for my jeans, hehe.

At the end of the day, nothing can taste as good as "thin" will feel.
