Tickets Booked
Even though the reason I am going to Adelaide is not a happy one, there is part of me that is getting quite excited about going. I haven't been since Christmas and no-one has seen me since I started this journey. I have only emailed one photo home and that was 3 months ago. DH's family have not even got that. I look really different now. And whilst photo's are one thing it is way more noticable face to face because it is not just my size that has changed. My attitude has changed. I am happier and more outgoing and this will be remarked on, but I hope that the main topic of conversation will be the shrinking state of my butt! I know that everyone is going to see Mum but that doesn't mean that they aren't going to notice the difference in both DH (-23kgs) and me (-17kgs). So I am prepared to dazzle. It will definitely give Mum a laugh anyway :)
Will be flying out tomorrow and back on Monday night. Will do a proper catch up then. Have a great weekend everyone and hope the scale gods smile on all your hard work.
Oh and the results of the Winter Walking Challenge are in. I guessed the item in Kate's Bum Bag correctly - it was an 'Espresso'. But I didn't win any prizes. It was all lucky draw but I was hoping that since I had so many entries in I could snaffle at least one. It was excellent fun and I can't wait till they start their Spring "lose a jeans size" Challenge in a couple of weeks time.
Points FTD: Didn't count properly but about 30 again.
Sugar Points:12
Exercise: None
TIAGF: Understanding

Take care while you are away - I am sure that you will WOW everyone down there when they see you and DH. We will miss you but we will be here when you get back.
Lotsa hugs and be strong. Look after yourself and enjoy the flight !

Make sure you look after yourself while you're away. I'm sure everyone will be "gob-smacked" when they see you and DH, you've both done so well.
Soak up all the compliments you can, you'll need some TLC while you're there and the compliments will help with that.
Take care and we'll see you back here soon,

Margaret, I have read the news of your mother now. Your courage and strength is an inspiration and the way you're dealing with the eating part of it too and taking care of yourself as a person. My thoughts are with you.
Well done on finishing the Steps challenge - the lose a jeans size one sounds really interesting. And yes, that's ace that you're off the immobility list! :D

Hi there, I've never commented before, but have been reading your blog for a few weeks now.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum, I hope she is not in too much pain.
Take care of yourself, and congrats on such a huge loss! Your family is going to be dazzled by the sight of you!

Your family will be so proud of you when they see you! And DH too (I didn't realise that he was losing weight as well... good on him!). I hope that you have a really special time on the weekend - I'll be thinking of you.
