Annabelle Joy's diary

[Annabelle Joy]

Day 4, Week 10
These plateaus Same as yesterday. All that heat yesterday didn't melt any fat. At the moment I'm 2 stone down from my starting point, and 1.8 kg from 90 kg. I think that getting through both is proving a hurdle.

On the positive side, I put on a favourite pink T-shirt that I've had for years. It's spandex, so expands and shrinks with me. It's actually loose at the moment. I haven't lost much in cms recently according to the tape, but it seems to be a lot looser than it was a bit over a week ago. My hair is thicker and healthier than it's been for years. People keep telling me how well I'm looking. I said to my husband this morning that even without the spectacular losses, this diet is so easy that I don't even think of deviating.

It was great yesterday to meet with hexi, Lauren and Becca. Photo in Melbourne Get Togethers. Don't hexi and Lauren look lovely and slender? Becca and I will look like them next year Only downer was trying to find a parking spot in the Chadstone carpark. I was just getting ready to wait at the exit and offer someone a ride back to their car in exchange for the spot when a lovely man gave me a thumbs up Becca will be in Geelong probably Tuesday of next week. We're going to try to arrange a late (5:45 or 6:30) coffee meeting for anyone down this way who is interested.

Thanks, Irene, Bubbles, Cheral, Jeannie and AlmostEden for posting.

Next time you are flying through Melbourne, Irene, be sure to leave a couple of hours between flights so some of us can meet with you.

Surviving the heat reasonably well, Bubbles and Cheral. We (I'm straight across the bay from Avalon, can see it from our house) were the hottest in the state yesterday at 41C. However, it's quite pleasant here at the moment, despite another hot day expected. Heat is different at this time of year, cools down overnight. I had the air conditioning on all the time in the car yesterday, hardly noticed the heat. It's cooling down again after tomorrow.

Lovely to have you on board, AE. We need more men on this forum. I didn't know hexi until recently, but she certainly looks terrific now. Hope to meet you when we arrange the next Melbourne meeting.

Jeannie, reminding me that it's not long since I was 11.2 is certainly a confidence boost. Thank you for that. I also thought I looked much younger than my age in that photo. I think Lauren might have done some strategic cropping to show me in the best light

Have a great day everyone.
