Week 119 of my weight loss journey

Yes I can't believe I have been losing weight for this long.... A friend of mine on a weight loss group we have on facebook got me thinking about my overall journey and the time its taken to get this far.

I've been on this journey for over 2 years, well 119 weeks to be exact (just worked it out) and during this time I've lost just over 29 kilos and whilst I'm happy with that its by no means fast but its my journey and I have to be happy with that. WW tell you that you should try and average your weight loss at 500 grams per week, well mine is a little below that at 250 grams per week... I still have another about 21 kilos to lose to get to my goal weight and I'm hoping that I can spead things up just a little to get there in the next year.. If I can increase my average to 400 grams per week then I will lose the 21 kilos in 52 weeks...

My point is that it doesn't matter how long it takes you as long as you don't give up and that the whole process fits into your life style. I still go out, I still eat chocolate and I still drink wine and bourbon and I still go away interstate and overseas ... I really wouldn't change much as I'm living my life at the same time as losing weight. It will just take longer the way I'm doing it that's all...

The above picture was taken last Mondy at the Lindt Cafe in Melbourne... This was my breakfast... It was very yummy but also very rich.... I also weighed in on the saturday at 88.4 kilos, so I'm using it as my 88.4 kilo picture....

Today was WI and I lost 100 grams... I'm pretty happy with that. During the past week I have been to melbourne, where I ate and drank more than normal, its been TTOM, and I now have the flu... Very little exercise has been done this week and I still lost... I now weigh 88.3 kilos and am very much an 80's girl... Bring on the 70's is all I can say...

Our leader today challenged us to lose a kilo this week, so I'm going to focus on that. A few weeks ago she challenged us to a 6 week weight loss challenge and I wanted to be 84.9 kilos at the end of it.... I think we have 4 weeks left and I have 3.4 kilos to lose... Time to get focused again I think... I can do this if I really want it.... I'd love to be a 70's girl for spring this year (September)... which would then see me needing losing 5 kilos in 2 months....
