I'm back - Day 117

I got back this morning, and had an Alizonne session this evening.

I am absolutely delighted to say that my parents are going to be ok, although their recovery will be slow. Mum will be discharged in the next week or two, but will then be in a wheelchair for a further three months before progressing to a walker because of her leg operations.

Dad is still in ICU but is now fully out of the induced coma, and getting stronger every day. He is being dialysed for his kidneys, which have weakened as a result of the accident, and we don't know yet whether this is a short- or long term requirement; but he has no brain damage or paralysis - thank God.

Money is going to be tight for a while so my plan is still to reduce treatments down to every fortnight, and given where I am now this should help take me the rest of the way there.

Now for weight updates:

Current weight - 84.7kg (3.6kg loss in 3 weeks) - 25.2kg total lost to date
Weight in stone - 13st4lbs - 4st exactly lost to date, or 55.6lbs

While I was away I even had to give up on 2 of my pairs of jeans and buy some new ones - in a Size 14!! I've never been a Size 14 before ;)

I also bought a lovely pair of Size 12 jeans, which I can do up at the button, I just can't get the zip up yet.

1.7kg to go to the end of Phase 2, with a bit of luck maybe next week I'll hit it

Measurements - after day 59

Today feels like a bit of a milestone day as it's Day 60 - can't believe I've been doing this for just about 2 months now. This week (Wed) should have been the end of Phase 1 for me, which I now know won't happen, but on the upside I am a lot closer to my Phase 1 goal (I'm hoping I will only be 5kg or so off this week), which should hopefully mean only 3 weeks extra - fingers crossed!

My Alizonne appointment is tomorrow (seeing the doc on Thursday), so will post weight update then, but in the meantime measurements this week are:

Bust - 98cm (0cm loss this week - 10cm lost in total - 9cm to go)
Waist - 94cm (2cm loss this week - 10cm loss in total - 22cm to go)
Hips - 116cm (2cm loss this week - 15cm loss in total - 21cm to go) - almost under 20cm now!

No weight loss on my arms or thighs, despite all those extra exercises

I can now comfortably fit in all my Size 16 clothes and even managed to get a Size 14 jacket on in a shop yesterday, which felt amazing (I didn't buy it though!), I can also now get into a leather jacket I bought years ago because I love it so much, even though it didn't fit me - guess what I'll be wearing lots now ;)

If I've lost more than 1.3kg this week I'll be under 15 stone for the first time in as long as I can remember ....
