Today officially marks the day when I hit my target. I wanted to stand on the scales today and take a photo of my feet stood either side of those magical numbers telling me I am 15st 7lbs. However, I've not been able to do that, as I've gone that little bit better.

| I needed to lose 1lb. I lost 4. Go me! |
To do this, I plan in the short term to continue to diet. 15st 7lb was the first target, but I can easily create another. It would be nice to dip under 15st. I've briefly been under 14 1/2 stone before. I've got to get down to 14st 8lbs before the stupid BMI scale tells me I'm a normal weight rather than overweight! I'm not daft enough to starve myself chasing an unrealistic size. My body shape will never have me as a bean pole and the saggy skin I have in places from years of obesity aren't going to just magically disappear, so don't expect me to be modelling for Calvin Klein any time in the future. But it is realistic for me to lose a bit more and while the lbs are still dropping off relatively easily, why stop?
The running will continue too. I rather enjoy my Saturday morning exercise and with the 10k just days away, I'm in no position to start wildly celebrating my weightloss. I'll probably allow myself a few cheeky rewards when that is done and dusted but until then I intend to stay focused and true to the diet.
41lbs (and a little bit extra) gone. If I can do this, so can you.
