Hi Everyone,
I got a bit confused about my WI day because the online program I'm
doing lets you WI at any time. So I've decided it's Monday and although
this is my second WI, it's week 3.
Anyway, I've lost more weight, another 2.5 pounds, a total of 8.5 pounds
since 3 weeks ago. I'm very pleased with my progress but as I'm eating
quite a lot of food I'm not at all sure if it's going to continue.
The other bit of good news is that I'm now officially within the "Normal
Weight Range" BMI, on some charts albeit at the top, so I'm no longer
medically overweight! Hurrah! But my goal weight is still some way off -
mainly because of my asthma. I'm supposed to be at the lower end of the
health BMI range as it means I need less oxygen to move around. At least
my doctor can't nag me any more though - his chart says I'm not fat any
more! ;)
Since losing 2 inches the first week, this week I've actually gained a
fraction of an inch, although it's still much less than it was.
My personal goal is to get into my UK size 14 jeans - at the moment the
blubber flops over the top of the waistband in a most unattractive way,
and doing them up is impossible. Maybe I need to lose another stone for
that to happen but I'm determined and I'm not buying myself any new
clothes until I reach goal!

Yes you are at the beginning of week 3. Week1 is actually the day you start
so I can understand your confusion.

Great job. Isn't amazing how the program works when we stick to it?

I had a LOT more to lose than you (70 lbs), so getting new clothes part
way through was a must - as well as fun! I bought stretch knit stuff
that was a leeeeetle sausage-skin like when I first got it, but some now
hangs in elegant folds, some fits neatly, and some has gone on the
Little Orphan Annie pile already! Several pairs of trousers I got from
a friend last summer have done that one! The stretch jeans I got then
are still ok on average! Still a neat fit on legs and hips, but getting
loose in the waist! I now have and wear things in sizes ranging from
Small to Large, depending on the make and style! My goal is to fit back
in my wedding dress.

Yes, it is great, but I'm still annoyed at myself for having to do it.
One would have thought one round of slimming would be enough for anyone,
but no, I had to ignore everything I'd learned and eat like a Sumo for 6
months :(

That's two who moved their body mass this week. Congrats on achieving
that goal.

what great progress. I have been extremely fortunate in the clothing
department. As I have lost I was able to borrow clothes from my mom and
sister, and felt great returning them before I wore them out. I am getting
close to goal and am dreading having to actually settle on a goal/size and
then buying clothes, Lee, proud for you

That's always my first choice. The spousal unit says my punishment in
the hereafter will be a room full of the latest and most up-to-date
gadgets - and nothing to power them with. He is truly an evil man.

Oh, I certainly would not want to be accused of store-bias. Home
Depot is fine with me. It was more fine when I was remodeling the
kiitchen. Can't have too many tools even if they will never be used
again (G)

toolos=toys according to my DH and me. Between the 2 of us when we got
married we had almost every power tool out there. I also had a chipper and
a sicklebar mower, just the thing you need in an apartment, but after I sold
my land I was not going to sell my toys.

I hate shopping in general and completely redoing is overwhelming, but then
at this rate it will still be a hundred years before clothes are an issue,
