You look sensational! It is such an INCREDIBLE difference! You look so young and peppy! And look at that gap between your thighs there... HEAVEN!!! Your hair is HOT by the way. Really, you look incredible. You look SKINNNNNNY! Can't believe you aren't a healthy BMI yet. This is evidence for me that BMI isn't the best measurement of body weight!
Seriously. Awesome.

A Thanks so much you lot, your making me blush
I love the chink of light at the top of my legs Joh. Still a bit jiggly, but when I'm wearing jeans they pull in the wobbly bits, so my legs no longer rub against each other when I'm out, unless I'm wearing a skirt.
Princess.... I actually want a big bum haha.
I can't wait to be posting photos in 15lbs time
The swelling has gone down on my eye bags now. I think that some of the improvement definitely was swelling, which is a shame. But my left eye looks loads better with only a bare hint of a bruise. The right eye bruise is quite bad still tho. I just want the bloody bruises to go!
Only one whole food day left till weigh day. I am really excited about it actually cos I've been so good this week. I'm always desperate to weigh myself early when I've been good. Also been thinking of getting scales, but I don't want the stress of my weight rollercoastering around from day to day. I need to weigh lily for a bike seat though.... Hmmm....
I stopped putting stuff on ebay because of all the stress recently, but I'm going to get started again tomorrow, and buy this with the proceeds...
I got the idea from someone else's diary actually. I've been reading the whole back catalogue of diaries, and basically comparing peoples attitudes on the unsuccessful and successful diaries. People who sound more stressed about it all are definitely more likely to give up. Anyway... this is a solid dance mat for the playstation, not one of those plasticy ones that moves about under your feet. I hate playing on those ones. The dance mat used to be my favourite hobby lol, I spent so much on them in the arcades when I was 16/17. Playing that for half an hour or so every night will be mucho fun. I have the dance central (with the motion sensor), and I like it, but I can never be bothered to play it.
Here's tonights dinner.... Was lovely, and very simple.
Food
Tracker bar, apple and half a peach 238
Wasabi coated peanuts 177
Cod with chorizo and tomato sauce with new potatoes and green beans 556
4 plums 120
3 coffees 75
=1166
Exercise
7 minutes trampoline
Over 1 hour fast walking.

I LOVE the progress pics.
You are such a stunner...and getting more stunning by the day!
(My only criticism of the photos is that you're wearing too many clothes)
Your idea of analysing the diaries was quite clever (the girl is not only gorgeous, but smart! ) and thinking back over what I've seen over the past couple of years, ITA with what you said. Stressing out about weightloss only sabotages you, as no one can stand being on razor's edge day in and day out for long periods of time. Something has to give at the end.
That said, it's hard to keep zen when all the rest of one's life seems to be falling apart.
It makes your ongoing success even more impressive....

ATake it back. you do NOT want a big bum. Liar!!!
I know so many people who went through phases of being obsessed with those dance mat things - I think it would be so awesome! And good brain training to, eh? Your dinner looks REALLY yummy. I'd use chicken instead of fish (you probably can't find one skerrick of seafood in my food for all this time, actually....Salmon doesn't count. It's awesome. haha) but YUM! And I love beans - you have a nice plate balance going on there!
x sending you love, darlin.

AKate I let myself go big time on the dance machine lol. No awkwardness for me. Just a mad frenzy of stomps and jumping. I'm alright.... Nicks still on his bestest behaviour. I still can't mentally let things go, and I have that fake feeling that I talked about earlier. But he is listening to what I'm saying and replying. We are having CONVERSATIONS baby! Haha. My food this week has been excellent. I am proud of myself
Joh I do so want a big bum! I did all those squats and Bulgarian bum lift thingies for at least two months in the hope of getting a fabulously round big derrier on a skinny body eventually. But, alas, I stopped doing the blimming exercises, and I think my arse has definitely lost volume.
Rox You are the master of keeping your food great when everything else is going down the pan! And you are such a huge inspiration to me.
You will have to lean in close everybody.... because I have got a secret.... shhhhhh..... Well... I said to rox that I really wanted to see her saucy photos, and she sent me one, and ohlala, she is HOT! Anyway... that was the same night that Nick lit the whole bedroom with candles and scattered rose petals, and I thought I'd take a picture of it.... So I had the camera in the bedroom, and I was naked, and I thought about foxy roxies sexy pics, and I got Nick to take a few dirty pics of me! I said to Rox that I had taken some pics because of her, and I almost felt like sending her one back, and she convinced me too
So you know what this is ladies.... Its a BREAKTHROUGH, a big fat naked breakthrough lol. I know my body is far from perfect, but I had the bloody confidence to bare almost-all to another girl, which is probably worse than a bloke! So just thought I'd share that with you lol If you had said to me two days ago that I would even let Nick take a naked photo of me, or I would share it with anyone, I wouldn't have believed you!
Can't believe I've told you all that now, I will never show my face on here again
Random.... I had a dream last night that I was a supermodel, with a big smile of my face walking up and down the runway at a fashion show. I was hovering at a party as well, standing in groups of people but not saying anything, just grinning a big grin. So... I woke up, showered, got dry. Then I went to put my make-up on, and I had sore red lines like brackets either side of my mouth! I had obviously been grinning in my actual sleep lol. I thought the average dream only lasted about 20 minutes, so how the hell I got sore smile creases from 20 minutes of sleep grinning I don't know! Although if I were to get the figure of a supermodel, not that that is even possible, I would definitely smile that much lol. In my dreams!!!
Random numero twoi... I was queuing up to get cigarettes, not looking at the chocolates, when a bright orange packet caught my eye. It didn't even belong there, someone had obviously picked it up from the main part of the shop then discarded it. Why do coin shaped things always tempt me when I'm lining up for fags, arrggghhh. Anyway, you'll be pleased to know there was no stealing involved this time. But it was Hersheys peanut butter cups which Tete and Joh have been raving about only the other day. I said to them how on earth can I be craving something I haven't even tried lol. And ohmygod nomnomnom, they are the nicest chocolate EVER.
I went shopping today for winter clothes/coats/footwear for my kids... spent an absolute fortune and came back with an unmanageable amount of bags.
This is tonights dinner, red thai curry. The rice wasn't great as nick didn't rinse it properly (he came down to help as the kids were overexcited), but it was still superniiiiiice. It tasted like something you would get in a restaurant. And not a bad one. Which is nice.
Food
Shreddies 288
3 peanut butter cups (could so eat 50) and a cappuccino 350
Thai red curry with basmati rice 585
3 coffees 75
=1298
Exercise

AI dream about boring days all the time too Tete, I dream that I'm getting up and having a shower and getting breakfast and then I wake up and I'm like- oh I didn't actually get up lol. I have some horrible nightmares, so count yourself lucky you don't often dream. The last one was really weird.
Thanks princess, yeah they do! Lily loves all her little girly bits. I went to tk maxx, never really shopped there before, but its brilliant. I got Charlie a Bench coat reduced for £80ish to £25! And lodas of other bargains too. Yeah, I know 585 calories for all that is brill, and I had loads more rice than usual as well so it was really filling.
LADDDDDIIIIIEEEESSSS, I am in the 160's, AND MY BMI IS BANG ON 25! So only another pound to lose before I'm officially a healthy weight!
The weighng machine at boots was broken, so I took that as a sign that I should definitely buy some scales. After the great week I had last week I didn't want to not weigh myself! So it could be off a bit, but I lost 4.5 pounds Think I'll still use the boots weighing machine at the start of every month though, I've got mechanical scales, they look good but are hard to read accurately.
Gonna treat myself to 500 calories of Thorntons chocs tonight, then I will eat superhealthy again for the rest of next week.

AThank yooou, I am so happy. I have actually almost done it! Yipeeeee. Like you said the other day Joh, I felt instantly slimmer when the scales went down. Then I stood on them after dinner and they had gone up two pounds. And I felt fat again
You can get the low fat coconut milk here but I much prefer the full fat one, so I used that. I only had about a third of a tin of it, so I thought I'd rather enjoy it more and to hell with the hundred or so extra calories.
Just a quicky cos I need to put the kidlets to bed.... Then I'm going to read my book whilst munching on my weigh day treat Need to check Joh's page for news first tho!
Tonights dinner.... Was a lot of oil and butter which made it quite high in calories. It looks a bit like a dead fish on the plate, but it tasted good....
Food
Eat natural bar and fruit salad 319
Pan-fried sea trout, peas & chorizo fricassée 764
Chocolate 500
4 coffees 100
=1683
Exercise
1.4 miles walking.

I'm SO happy for you!! In the 160's and nearly at a healthy BMI?!!!! That's definitely a reason to celebrate!
I remember back when I finally hit a BMI below 25...I was SO excited and pleased. (In fact, that was when I finally felt like I could go to the doctor again. I hadn't been to an ob/gyn in TEN years because I was too ashamed and scared. True story!)
BTW-I love your food pics,Ruthie. Everyting always looks so yummy! Too bad you can't invite us all over.
And as for me leading you down the Path of Wickedness (which leads to the House of Super-Sexy Photos), all I can say to our reading public is: "Yes! I'm guilty as charged and proud of it!" You're such a gorgeous girl those private pics are seriously smoking hot!
