10 Weeks + 5 Days - FAB RESULTS

I am thrilled this morning.

I have lost 3 and a half pounds this week!! I know a lot of it will be to do with the fact I was on fluids for 3 days, but even so!
I am ecstatic.

I weigh 16 Stone 4 and a half pounds now (228 and a half lbs).

This is just SUCH a great feeling to be so close to the 15 stone zone.

I could feasibly be 15 something by the time I go on holiday! YEEEAHHHH! Oh YYEEEAAAHH

I was trying to think about the last time I was 15 stone something. It was when DS was born in 1999. I was 17 stone 11 when I booked in with my midwife when I was 11 weeks pregnant and I was still 17 Stone 11 the morning I had him.

I weighed after having him that evening and I was 15 stone 2. So I lost 2 stone 8 pounds (36lbs) just having him!! That was great, but at my post natal check when he was 6 weeks old I was back up well into the 16 stone range again.

So I haven't legitimately been in the 15 stone range even then really. The last time I was weighed before that was at slimmingworld which I joined one week about a year before I got married. I can't remember if this was before I broke my knee or after...
I broke my knee cap on my 20th Birthday whilst decorating and I put on a great deal of weight in that time. I remember trying on my wedding dress in October 1996, wearing Levi 501s and crutches and a cast and the dress being MASSIVE. It was going to be taken in about 6 sizes.
By the time I actually got married in August 1997 I had to diet to get into the blasted thing. I think it must have been about April or May 1997 when I joined slimmingworld in a last ditch attempt to get the weight under control for the wedding. I was still on crutches then you see!

So if that was the case, the last time I have truly been in the 15 stone zone (and on the way up) was back in 1997. I know I was shocked. I did the diet for a week and got weighed and only lost half a pound so I just jacked it in. I was about 16 stone something when I got married.

I am going to try on my wedding dress again and see what happens. That way I will know if I am smaller or larger than my wedding day! Good idea huh!

I will update this page later with the results.


Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the results. I am Over the proverbial moon!!

I must have been the exact same weight when I got married.

I tried this on 2 years ago and there was about 6 inches gap down the back where the zip should have done up. This time, it went on like the day I wore it.

My DS is holding our original wedding photo up next to it.

10 Years on and I can get into my dress! What an anniversary surprise!
