VIRGO
August 24th - September 23rd
You're in a determined frame of mind, working hard to reach a specific goal. All it will take is a spurt of inspired action before you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Once you do reach your target - and this will be sooner than you think - you will stand back and be amazed by your achievements.

Well let's hope its true then

After 20 weeks on this mad diet I've lost the following inches.

Bust = 9.5
Chest = 9.5
Waist = 12.5
Hips = 15.25
Left Arm = 7.5
Left leg = 11

The photo below is of me in my (ex-favourite) jeans. Unfortunately they were so tight I broke the zip when I sat down

Well that's my excuse anyway

Much to the amusement of my darling family, I tried to get into a strangers car this morning. Not only that, but the man was also behind me. I heard a voice say "erm that's mine" and then thinking he'd probably got a nutter he added "it's easily done".

I wouldn't mind but I nearly ripped the door handle off as I expected my husband to have opened it.

As would be expected my loving family pretended not to know me and walked off to our car.

p.s. it wasn't even the same make of car. Although it was silver and it was an estate

2lbs gone this week.

I've been to a lecture about Diabetes this afternoon.

Was supposed to do 4 sessions, but being naughty I went to 2 and left in the break I don't know any more than I did before I went - so that was a waste of an afternoon.

Oh!! I did learn something - if you can't place the palm of your hands together (as in praying)it reflects soft tissue changes in the feet. Now what would you do without me to educate you?

Now I've come home to a parcel from Amazon (my favourite sort of parcel), so I'm off to read "Body Contouring Surgery after Weight Loss".

OK so my birthday is finally over for another year!!!

I felt better after I bought myself a pair of very impractical red stiletto boots I also bought some new Clarins makeup, new clothes, new shoes,new handbag, knickers and when I got home my husband had booked me a reflexology session

I also had 3 pairs of earrings, 2 necklaces, a slendertone belt, 2 teddies, The Rocky Horror Show DVD, Silent Hill DVD, add-on for The Sims 2, flower arrangement, money, angel, reflexology.

Had a great day shopping spent 5 hours spending money (my favourite past-time). Nearly didn't make it home My husband had phoned my friend in the week to tell her to make sure I was back for 4pm (for the reflexologist). We managed to get behind not just a funeral car, but one of the horse and carriages. We nipped up a side street to try and beat it but it was still in front of us. We went up another one and it just got to the island before us, we then went up another one and after driving extremely fast we managed to beat it by a whisker (don't play dodge the hearse on your birthday, it does nothing for your nerves!!). When we finally thought we would make it, a bloody learner lorry driver pulled in front of us down the lanes!!!!! We made it home with 2 minutes to spare.

So anyway my birthday wasn't so bad after all. But I STILL didn't get a bloody dog

Am I happy?? No!! I'm a miserable mardy-arsed cow. So there!!!

I'm off shopping now - hopefully it will make me feel better (bah humbug)

Lost another 3lbs tonight.

Hubby - it's been a nice day today hasn't it ?

Me - I don't know, I've had my curtains shut.

Hubby - Why?

Me - because it was too sunny to see the computer.

I really must put my brain into gear before I speak

hmmm makes me want to sing that Eminem song.

Anyhow - good mood today. Feel much better. Have been trying on things and clearing out things that are too big.

I don't know why, but I really have a hard time letting some things go, especially things that I really loved wearing. But when it looks like someone else should be in the clothes with you it's time to let go

So I'm now down from about 7 pairs of jeans to just a couple My wardrobe is looking decidedly bare (feel sorry for me yet??)

I've actually had a few people ask for my clothes when they don't fit me anymore. This is a first for me as I've always been to big for my clothes to fit anyone else I must be giving thousands of pounds worth of clothes away. Note to self - start buying cheap clothes.

Hope you've all had a good day. Just off to make pizza for the family - making crisps for myself

I've lost 100 (ish) pounds now (probably more than that, but due to being to heavy for the scales I'll never really know). Something I never thought I would see.

I don't know how I feel though. I know it might sound strange, but people keep saying to me "you must feel fantastic". I don't know. I look at myself in the mirror and I see the same person as I was nearly 100 pounds ago. I can see that my clothes are dropping off me, but my body still looks the same. When I look at photos I can see a difference, but in the mirror nothings changed.

There's also something else bothering me. I read that not many marriages can survive one of the couple losing a huge amount of weight. From friends that have lost a lot of weight I believe this to be true. I love my husband dearly, but will I change? Will I become a different person? Will he stop loving me?

I don't feel like a different person now, but will I in another 100 pounds time?

I don't want to be a different person because I've lost weight. I liked the person I was/am.

Hmmm think I've had too much time on my hands and doing too much thinking today.

That's what happens when you're too ill to move around

Glad it's my day off today as I felt really really ill this morning.

All I did was get up, make 3 lots of sandwiches and ironed a shirt and suddenly felt really sick and faint. I just about managed to finish ironing the shirt before I had to collapse into a chair.

Have sat with my head between my knees (just pause to get the full image ) for half an hour trying to stop fainting, and having the sound of whooshing in my ears!!

Feel ok now. Not 100%, but as long as I don't move round too much I'm ok.

My husband is convinced I'm doing too much at the gym, but I'm not really sure. Going to give it a miss for the next couple of days and see how I go.

For the first time in my life I managed to go on holiday and come back lighter.

I've been weighed tonight, and in 2 weeks I've lost, (drum roll please) 13lbs!!! Yep nearly a stone.

That makes me now under 18 stone and over halfway there.

:D
