I thought the time had come to make "an announcement". Since the 19th January, when I saw I weighed 93.6 kg (14 st 10lb) we have been following the 5:2 diet, more or less carefully. This morning I weighed myself as usual on Sunday, after my morning coffee but before dressing and my weighing machine told me that I was down to 82.4 kilos.That's 181.6 lbs or 12st 13lbs. My first target had always been to get below 13 stone. However, since I set that target about three years ago, I've been doing some reading and unfortunately, for my age and height, to hit the dividing line between "normal" and "overweight" I should get just below 80kg or 12 stone 6 lbs. Not too far really probably achievable before the end of August. So that's my second target.
However, to be well within the "normal" range and to get down to what I was at around 40, I need to lose just under a further 4 kilos or so to get to 12 stone. So that's my final target (assuming that my doctor doesn't start being difficult). I'm hoping to achieve that well before Christmas.
In the same period, Jacquie, who also felt she was a tad overweight has gone down from 62.5 kg to 54.1 (well below her target weight of 55kg). And best of all, throughout this period, we've not felt we've had to make great sacrifices.
