I was talking to my fiance over Christmas about my weight loss and how much difference it has made.
We were both stunned when we worked out that I have lost 25% of my original body weight - how amazing is that?! I'm three-quarters the woman I used to be.
As per my previous post, it hasn't always been easy but I'm so glad to be where I am now and delighted to still be losing.

Difficult Christmas but good result!
Well, it has been an interesting if somewhat difficult Christmas!
Nothing major! I had my works Christmas do on Thursday 23rd (postponed from 17th due to the snow!). Bertie was ghastly. It was in a very posh hotel in Cardiff. I struggled with the soup for starter and then disaster struck with the turkey. I must have got about 6 or 8 mouthfuls down and then it got stuck and it was extremely uncomfortable until it came back up in my napkin. I was mortified (once again!).
He's been impossible since. I could hardly eat much on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and even yesterday was difficult. Consequently, I am feeling hungry but pleased to report I am a further three pounds lighter since Thursday! Always a silver lining.
I don't think it helps that I still have the nasty virus that is going around. I keep thinking it's cleared up and then it comes back. I've got a chesty cough which I think is irritating Bertie even more.
Whoever thinks this is an easy option has no idea - you don't get a day off. I'm seriously considering having a de-fill if this doesn't improve within the next few days. Either way, I will also speak to the nurse about whether I need to have a de-fill before the wedding/ honeymoon as I'm not going to have them spoilt by Bertie.
On the bright side, we had a lovely Christmas with the families and I am sitting here wearing a pinafore dress that I haven't worn for about 10 years. So, much as he has been ghastly, I do love Bertie really!

Note to self ...
... large slices of lemon drizzle cake and gastric bands do not make for a comfortable afternoon!!!

Getting excited!!
It's been a very wedding orientated few weeks! Since I last blogged we have chosen and ordered our invitations, bought our wedding rings, ordered the mens suits, been for a taster evening at the venue and my dress has arrived in the bridal shop.
I am going to try my dress on this Saturday. It won't be a fitting appointment, just to see it and try it on. It will just be me and my mum which is nice!
My weight is staying under 13stone, it has even gone down a little bit more. I bought my first pair of work trousers for over 10 years last week. I needed to keep warm!! I had to get a size 18 to be sure that they fitted my legs. They fit my thighs fine but are massive on the waist, they are like a pair of maternity trousers!
Last time I blogged, I had just had a spray tan for an evening out. We had an amazing night and I felt fantastic in my dress. My fiance told me that he felt emotional when he saw me all dressed up! I dread to think what he will be like at the wedding!! I will try to upload some photos soon.
