I've changed my target weight!

My aim was to lose a nice round number: 75lb. That puts me at just over 10 stone, remember my starting weight before I fell pregnant was 15 stone 8lb. Since I have been doing well most of the time - and know exactly why I haven't done so well on the bad weeks - I thought "why not aim for a nice round number to finish on?" After all 10 stone 2 or 3 lb seems like an odd target, yes? 10 stone has a good feel to it. It will be a loss of 78lb in total and give me a BMI of 24, which is still the top end of "healthy" so I know I'm not over doing my weight loss - it also means I have the option to carry on going if I want to (9 st puts me in the middle of my healthy BMI range, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it).

I'm back on a positive after a rubbish January - mood wise, not diet wise, I think I did OK all things considered, I have just 1lb to lose to reach my Valentines Challenge and unless things go horribly horribly wrong over the next few days (can't see why they would) I should have that nailed on Sunday - a whole week early!  I am already planning my next challenge - a harder one at 2lb per week!

I have been looking over old blog posts on my main blog and found an entry from Dec 2005, the Christmas before I got married. I was trying to slim for the wedding and had dropped to 11 stone! The lightest I can ever recall being as an adult. It didn't last and I gained half a stone by the wedding.

I am 11 stone 5 lb at the moment. I feel so close to that 11 stone milestone that I can almost touch it! I am already lighter than I was on my wedding day... That feels amazing! When I get under 11 stone (and I WILL) I will be lighter than I have ever been as long as my Hubby has known me. That feels pretty awesome too!

I don't ever want to get over 11 stone again!

So here is my motivation for February: 

• Nail that challenge a week early! 
• Get a good start on the next challenge - 2lb a week please! (More walking!)
• How awesome would it be to be at my lightest adult weight by the end of the month???

You know, even with my new extended goal, of I lose 2lb a week every week I will reach 10st before going back to work in May! I would LOVE that! No one would recognise me :D

Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too. 

 You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook
