I had the most lovely surprise this morning, two in fact!
When I got on the scales, they said 69.9!!
Wooooohooooooooooooo, I'm a 60s girl at last, AND into single digits now too, as well as almost into normal BMI.


It is so worth hanging in there! The results are fantastic!

Thanks for dropping by everyone! You are fantastic too!
You all help to keep me going!
Maria, Dedeemay, Katie, S2BS, Elabelle, GO and PS!
Katie, yes they noticed my water, and I just said I'm being good, and that was accepted.
GO, I never dreamed at the beginning of this journey that I'd be fitting into size 10 pants and tops. I expected 14s perhaps 12s to be the smallest I'd achieve. Good on you for also being so good at the Chrissy Party!
PS, we do have a lot of similarities, and you are soon going to be where I am, and you'll love it! I'll keep you to your promise and I'll do the same for you!

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Vee

Woohoo Vee,

Got a head of steam up now !!! Woo-Hoooo (train whistle )

You are positively CHARGING down the track to goal now !!!

And hasn't your self-talk changed too, over the last few weeks, as your visits to the mirror (and the dress shops) give even better and better news? You are now SO positive, I'm certain you WILL reach that destination - and in style !! Watch this space eh? Soon to come:-

Normal.... Size 8.... GOAL .... refeed !!!

Lap it up, Size 10 girl - you SO deserve this (it will be your gift to yourself for your stoicism)



Hugs,

Koh

Hi All!

I had a fabulous day today! Not only am I a 60s girl, and in single digits, but my partner and I got to meet the lovely Mette and her just as lovely man today! We met up for a coffee in Brisbane and then we decided to go for lunch, so showed Mette where we get my Cohen meal out! It was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the great company! Here is a pic of Mette and I from today (this afternoon)!

Thanks to Shanara, Shell, Koh, JennyC and Katie for all your celebrations!! I love it when you guys join in the celebrations!! In fact I love celebrations!!

Koh, I had to remind you that 5 Dec was a special day. I thought about it on the day, but didn't really get a chance to post and ask about it, and seeing as I haven't reached goal by then, wasn't too sure about asking. I decided to ask anyway, and would also love to catch up with you when you are in Brissie!

Shell, thanks for your constant support and for sharing all your knowledge. You have helped so many of us here on the forum!

Katie, love your enthusiasm! You sure can perk a girl up heaps!

Shanara, thanks to you too for just being you and for all your sharing!

Vee

JennyC you sure have caught me up and surpassed me! You have done so awesomely on this program! You deserve all the rewards it brings!

Hi Vee

Great Photo - thanks for sharing ! You both look fantastic.

Oh, would love to have been there with you to enjoy meeting you and sharing a Cohens meal.

Wow, vee that ticker is sliding down into refeed - not long now.

Vee - some of my friends and I have a greeting we say to each other - "Thank you for being" so - I thank you for being.

Enjoy your day

Shanara

I ran out of time this morning, so posting now quickly!
All is good on my front, not too much to report after my momentus occasions on the weekend.
Thanks for all your visits! Koh, S2BS, GO, Ellabelle, Shanara, Dedeemay, Shell and Louise.I have to admit, it was really lovely meeting Mette and catching up with her! When you are enjoying yourself, time just goes too quickly!!

Great post Shell, I don't think I saw that one before, so it further explains things.
Shanara, we would have loved to have had you there too!
The forum was with us in spirit!

Mette will probably get back home either Wed or Thurs when she can post again!

Hope everyone has a great fat busting week!

Vee

Hi Vee. Just popped in to say thank you for visiting my diary! I really appreciate it.

I hope you have a wonderful day and here's a nudge back at you. Let's see if we can't get your scales to be super kind to you this week.

Default wk 39 day 5

Scales are still the same this morning, and I'm still happy, cause I'm still a 60s girl. I was working out that the last time I was in the 60s was before I got pregnant which was 16 years ago!!!! That was long ago!!

Thanks to everyone dropping in, S2bS and Tara!
It certainly does get rather exciting at this stage of the journey even if the losses seem to go oh so slowly. But as I've said before, the body is probably trying to get rid of that fat that's been stored there the longest now, so it only makes sense that it will take longer to break it down and shift it!

Hope everyone has a great fat dropping day!

Vee
