Yes, I know – it should be 24 weeks, but I’ll be away on holiday next weekend. I’m not sure about Internet connection where I’ll be, so am opening this clubhouse a week early. Hope nobody minds the early opening!
Today I’ve lost another 2 pounds, making a total of 60 pounds. My fasting blood this morning was 4.2 (I no longer test every day as it seems to have stabilised in normal levels).
For the record, and for those interested in such things, my measurements when I started on 19th December were (in inches) 50:49:54.5😱 Today they are 42:36:43. My dress size has dropped from approx 24. Now I’m in size 16 tops and 18 bottoms, though will very soon be needing size 14 tops and 16 bottoms.
The medics have always said I should be around the 9 stone 7 pound mark, so that means I still have 32 pounds to go.
The prospect of losing 6.5 stone (91 pounds) was always daunting. During years of painfully slow weight loss at various slimming clubs the goal was never really in sight because of time it was taking.
But on the BSD I really can now see the finishing line drawing closer. 😃 It’s still a long haul. A marathon. But I committed to this for however long it takes.
So, this new clubhouse is officially open and I look forward to meeting you here ☕️😃🌻👋
