There we were, sleeping away. We have the TV on during the night because we like to have the radio on.
I was just dreaming that I was Jack Bauer and I was asking someone to look for Bill Buchanan and then the alarm went off. I asked my OH what the time was and he said that it was the 6.50 alarm. I didn't feel like I had slept for very long so I looked at the TV through blurry eyes and saw that it said the time was 2.40am. I told my OH this and he didn't believe me. I don't blame him though because he did have the clock right in front of him telling him the time and I had to squint across the room at the TV without my glasses on.
I told him to look at the laptop time and that agreed with me. We then put it onto BBC News 24 and that agreed too.
The strange thing is that it is a radio controlled alarm clock! He took the batteries out and put the back in and then it went back to the correct time.
Off we drifted back to sleep (although, by this time, we had been up for 20 minutes!)
How random.....

So close, dammit... so close....!
I'm really annoyed now. I got into the stupid habit of basically weighing myself everytime I went to the toilet or went past the bathroom! The result being that I saw myself at 14st 13lbs (my first goal) but when I weighed myself this morning for my official weigh-in, I was 15st exactly. Now to be perfectly honest, that is great, but I still wish that I got to that target. I lost another pound though so at least i'm getting there. Slowly but surely. I've only been on this diet for 11 days rather than the 14 that I should have been so in the next 3 days, I probably could get down to that. I have, however told myself that I will not weigh myself until next week Thursday!

Well... Here goes!
I probably should have started this last week but never mind!
My name is Cat and I am on a journey to lose weight. Only 3 years ago I was a lot slimmer - probably about a size 10 but still very curvy. I remember that I was always a heavy person anyway but now I have shot up to just over 16 stone. Basically I was around 224 pounds last year.
I decided to do Slimming World last year November and I got down to 211 pounds. I basically lost 13lbs which is great because everyone was saying that I should just wait until after Christmas. After Christmas, I put on 2lbs and I really did eat!!! I was very please with that. I started back on Slimming World last week.
I decided to do it online but because I paid for it on the Thursday before I started, my weight in is on a Thursday. I started last week Monday so was pleasantly suprised when I lost 2lbs by Thursday! I've really been sticking to the diet and I have really been craving anything which is good.
My target is 11stones which will just get me into my recommeded BMI. I'll see if I am then happy with the weight. According to the graph online, I should get to my target by July. My actual target is September as I go to Florida at the beginning of the month. My current weight is 15st 1lb. I am 2lbs away from one of my mini goals which is for me to get under 15stone. My goal after that would be another 10lbs away as I would like to get under 200lbs.
I'll try to keep you updated as my journey continues.
Here's a picture where I think you can really see my weight.
