However.
It didn't happen.
Since the last update, I seem to have dropped yet another 5 kilograms. My sum total of loss is now 15 kilograms (ish) depending on whose scale you believe. I'll go with mine, it weighs lower than my GPs).
That puts me in the bracket of people who often look at themselves and say "I need to lose weight, I want to lose some weight", which is far better than the bracket I have left behind, which was "You need to lose some weight, I want YOU to lose some weight, your health is compromised".
I am happy with that.
I have reached my initial goal, which was the number issued for health reasons. My own number.
My next goal is only a few-ish kilos away, that's my pre-pregnancy weight.
Then I am aiming for the 'this is what I used to weigh' weight.
And a shopping trip.

Zat U, Rhubarb? You're amazing! I have renewed energy to get stuck into that last 5kg now!
PS a surprise 5kg weight loss perhaps can't be described as "INCHING downwards" but we'll forgive you.
Well done, and we're proud of you. (actually, just plain jealous of you, you skinny cow, but that wouldn't be nice to say :) )
Seriously, to me, it was a surprise.
I don't weigh myself more than once every 2 weeks or so, and I look the same to myself in the mirror.
Then I look at a photo and think - oh yeah, now I see it.
Being summer, I have lived in tank tops and baggy shorts. Today I went to put on some jeans, found 5 pairs that were too big so I weighed myself.
It was a surprise.
G - that 5k you need to lose? That will be my last as well. I can't imagine I only have 5ish k to lose now, whereas I started with 20+. Wow. And centermetering downwards just plain sounds wrong!
And Jen - I have never been skinny. Ever. And thank you xx
