2007 Achievements

In 2007 I set out to achieve the following:

lose 10% of my starting body weight;

keep losing weight through to June, when my husband and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows and having our marriage blessed in Rome;

keep losing weight through to my 50th birthday in August, when I go to see Aida at open air opera in Verona; and finally

keep losing weight through to March 2008 when I go to the British Virgin Islands and Antigua.

I achieved:

In January 2007 I weighed in at 26st 2 lbs.

June 2007 - weight 23st 10lbs - loss of 2st 6 lbs. For my wedding blessing and renewal of vows in Rome I wore a dress that last fitted me in August 2005.

July 2007 - 10% weight loss (23st 7 lbs - 37 lbs). Just in time for my holidays I achieved my 10% goal! Every 10% you lose increases the quality of your life.

August 2007 - weight loss (36 lbs, I know, gained a pound but I had been on holiday since July!) I still had a fantastic time in Verona for my 50th birthday, and thoroughly enjoyed Aida - it was magical.

Additional achievements:

February 2007 - passed my Diploma in Body Massage.

May 2007 - passed my Diploma in Reflexology.

October 2007 - fitted into the airline seat without the extension belt.

December 2007 - 3 dress sizes smaller!

Achievements to come:

Due to the OH starting a new job we are going to Antigua in April, I cannot wait. I am nervous as I will not be a target, but there will be a lot less of me and that thought keeps me going as strong as ever.

Now I will have to come up with my 2008 achievement list - look out for it!
