Getting to my meeting was quite eventful. I always go to the morning one but I managed to sleep entirely through it and was incredibly bummed – it’s such a part of my weekly routine and I schedule my week around it that I knew it’d throw me off. So I quickly decided that I’d head to the evening meeting instead (which is located in a nearby town)… the trouble was getting there.
I had to cycle at least 4 miles of country roads at 7pm without any lights, and barely able to see where the road was located. There was a huge hill (it felt like a mountain) and by the time I made it I was waaay late and very out of breath. It felt like I proved my dedication somehow by going through so much just to stand on a stupid scale. In the end – it paid off.
I had the single biggest loss since September – 4lbs. I knew I’d done well this week and probably should’ve actually been eating a bit more the past couple of days to keep up with how much I’d been working out, but I also increased my water intake, and I’m thinking the combination must’ve produced a big result. It’s rare at this stage to see this big of a loss so I’m keeping it all in perspective for next week, but it was a great feeling for sure.
Total loss: 53.5lbs
BMI: 22.6
Pounds from WW goal: 3.5lbs
Pounds from personal goal: 9.5lbs
I’m so close I’m actually getting nervous – what will it be like to not want to lose any more weight? That’s just a weird thought but I’m only weeks away from that reality.
Also, for the first time in my adult life I’m excited for warm weather to arrive – I’ve always dreaded tank tops and shorts weather. This experience has definitely been transformational in so many ways.

It really is such hard work and you are to be commended. I have only lost 20 and I am so stuck. I have lost my momentum. I admire your ability to keep it up once you moved to England. Your results are evidence of hard work and will power. Kudos!

If you’re worried about gaining any weight back after WW, remember you can get a good workout here by coming to my team’s softball practice. If you gain any weight back by then, you’ll lose it at practice :D
I don’t imagine we’ll need to do that though :) Keep up the great work!
