30 weeks and 35.9kg gone.
Time for a bit of navel-gazing.
Here's a collection of random thoughts...
This is the longest time I've stuck to a weight-control programme. Which bears out the feeling I had when I started - that this is the right time to change my lifestyle; this time it will stick.
I feel great. I'm fit, my skin is clear, my eyes are bright. If I could find my tail, I'm sure it would be bushy!
At times I've felt a bit selfish and self-absorbed. But it's worth it. Sometimes you need to take time in your life to concentrate on yourself. In the long run, it will be good for everyone. (I haven't articulated that very well, hope you get my drift)
I love all the support, encouragement and compliments I've had from people.
But in the end, I love how I feel about myself even more.

I know what you mean about feeling selfish and self-absorbed - but is it really that or are we just focusing on what we want to achieve - LOL does that make sense?
Great work on losing that much weigh in 30 weeks - that really is amazing!!
30 weeks! YAY. Well done.
I have tried to figure out lately as well why this is working for me when in the past it has failed. You are right - it just must be the right time.
I also know what you mean about the self absorbed bit .. I think I maybe am rather obsessive about weight loss ....
Have a great weekend
:o)
You have had fantastic results. I know what you mean about the "me" time. I think we spend so much time looking after others when our children are younger that we forget about ourselves. It is "your" time now and you are making the most of it. Well done!
I thought for sure today would be the day that you give us your latest progress shots!
Congratulations on such an amazing journey so far - you're an incredible example of the right way to do this!
WOW, it's great to acknowledge your success Sue! Well done. I am so impressed with your journey and find you so inspirational. I really like the way you think and your can do attitude. Bushy tailed and bright eyed, whoot! :-)
I truly believe that we also need to get ourselves sorted, to be of any help to others. A little selfishness is good for us. I don't subscribe to the martyr concept.
Congratulations Sue- with an attitude lik eyours no wonder you are being so successful. Totally agree with you about teh "puttingme" first philosophy. We have to in oredr to succeed in this.
I'm a big believer in windows of opportunity.
I quit smoking four years ago when, after getting soooo drunk at a friend's wedding that I couldn't eat or smoke for three days without vomiting, I caught myself, at 2am, coat over PJs, walking to the servo to buy cigarettes (it even looks like a dirty word!). I stopped walking, turned around and have not smoked since.
Your weightloss seems to be like that - it hasn't always been easy, but you have stuck to your plan and the weight has come off relatively quickly.
Congratulations Sue. You have worked hard, stuck at it, set good goals, put your money where your mouth is and just plain got on with the job.
Here's hoping that the next 20kgs goes in a similar fashion.
Hope you have a brilliant weekend :)
