Although fat people can be beautiful too, I’ve gotta admit I’m super excited to have lost weight.

A dress I had that was previously tight on me now has around 20cm (8 inches) of space at the sides.

My Doctor’s scale reads 7-9kg (about 14-18 pounds) less than the last scale I stepped on.

This morning my undies nearly fell off me, and I walked over to my husband to show him and he said

“Look you’ve got a new handbag!!” Meaning the space in the undies between my tummy and my hips.

I’ve also gained muscle. I can lift my 4kg (8 pound) weights much more easily.

I have more endurance, more stamina, and more flexibility. I’m more aware of my body in space.

It feels good.

On-wards to 72kg!

I’m so grateful for the help I’ve had.
