Thanks all. Alas SA, I was a chunk before, so I think I’m around half way, possibly just a bit more than half. The lowest weight I’ve ever been is 6 stone less than now, but that was pre children and I was a lot younger then!! I’m not really aiming for a ‘number’, just a feeling of being happy where I am.DH had a partial seizure last night, so hasn’t really been quite with it
today. He has slept a lot which has helped.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

- new knickers - that must be such a Lovely feeling. In my SW group, a lady told the story that while walking the dog she suddenly realised her knickers were round her feet and she was so embarrassed she stepped out of them and walked on !!! Please To hear this will not happen to you! Go Girl ......
As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or

OMG BM, I’d be mortified! Very funny story though - when it happens to someone else
.
I did it, I got my 5 stone award!! Very happy. I ‘only’ lost a pound again though. Need to do something to kick start my bigger losses again I think.
I have also taken a gamble and booked a couple of nights away at the end of August. Hopefully the hotel pool etc will be open by then and we won’t be having a second lockdown! Seems ridiculous to be considering a short break away when I haven’t been anywhere except my immediate area with the dogs, or the supermarket for 3 months, but it was using the last of my Carer’s break money, and to be honest if we don’t use it they ask for it back!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31.

Congratulations on getting your 5st award, that’s an amazing loss 🎉
Glad you’ve booked a break away. I’m the same, been avoiding shops etc then jetting off to Ibiza next month. We can’t lock ourselves away forever though.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
Another week almost over! The boys officially break up from school tomorrow, and whilst they haven’t been in for months, I’m looking forward to the break! Homeschooling hasn’t been too bad, and the reports and feedback we’ve been getting this week are excellent, but I’ll be pleased not to have to coerce DS2 to work for a while! Thankfully DS1 has been managing his own workload! I feel sorry for those who have more than one youngster to ‘police’.
Speaking of DS2, he has been shortlisted for a tv advert shooting in a fortnight. I’ve got everything crossed for him! The casting agent contacted me and said due to social distancing, if they wanted to show one of the boys with his Mum, they would need it to be his real Mum and not an actress, so would I be up for it? I really wanted to say no, but didn’t want to stand in his way of a role, so I agreed. Thankfully they haven’t mentioned it again, so I’m hoping they will just use DS2, but on the other hand, I know I wouldn’t have said yes 5 stone ago, so I’m pleased to have been able to have enough confidence to do so now.DH hasn’t been great this week. He’s had a couple of partial seizures and lots of waves of fear. He has been quite repetitive which has been very wearing.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
