Malificent

Well it has.
I went back to uni a couple of months ago, and unlike last year and contrary to my big fear of gaining massively from the drinking and overeating/no exercise routine when I got here, I actually haven’t.

Biggest news yet though, was that my scales were totally wrong. I got here and put in a new battery and found that I was actually 120lbs, which accounts for my misery and frustration for so many weeks before starting uni again that I wasn’t losing anything – I was, the scales just weren’t showing it.
So that was a nice start.

Since then I have managed to lose a couple of pounds (not much I know, but I am not exercising like I was at home and I don’t really control my diet here, coupled with masisve intake of alcohol) so now I am 118lbs at my lowest (it fluctuates, of course).
Pretty good going I thought.

Just thought I would update anyway, because I read this a lot but I haven’t felt the energy to write myself.
Good luck everyone x

Today I am 122 lbs :D (actually the scale showed 121 for a couple of moments but I’m ignoring it for now)

This is exciting, cos now Im only a couple pounds away from my normal weight and this is the genuine lowest I’ve been in the last year. My mum even commented on how I’m starting to look thinner, and I’ve been trying on clothes in an over excited frenzy to see if they look better.

It’s possibly a consequence of being very stressed at the moment due to an important upcoming exam this week and eating much less, so if next Sunday after the exam (and the drunken celebrations!) I’m still this weight/lower I’ll consider it real progress.

But for now I’m motivated and happy :)

As of today.
I mean it’s good – it’s what I weighed a few months ago after severe exam stress – but according to my 1.5lb loss a week plan I should have been 121.5 on Sunday, so something’s not working 100%.

Once I see 8.10 (122) on the scales (a number I’ve not seen for a year now) I’ll be pleased that I’m actually making progress, slow as it is.

Still, only 3/4 pounds away from my normal weight (120)and then I can start losing properly again to get down my goal of 112.
Good luck everyone
