Happy Late Birthday.

You do NOT look like you are forty. All the fun stuff you do must keep you looking young.

Thanks ladies!

Well I am now in the UK on holiday, a bit stressed since I got here as the day before we arrived my grandparents managed to crash and roll their car, ending up in hospital etc. Injuries are mostly superficial but my grandad broke his neck last year so with that combined with their age it has knocked them for six. We have done a bit of sightseeing and socializing but I am still jetlegged! Starbucks refuse to sell me a bottle of SF sugar syrup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! Had 2 pasties but apart from that I am sticking to WW meals but they are a whole lot different here!!!!

hello fromt he UK again! Trip is going well, we have had fairly good weather for the most part. Been eating out a fair bit, naughty stuff occasionally! had a few cream teas & pasties, I have not weighed as the inlaws etc don't have scales..... but my size 14P jeans/cords are getting looser! Weird as I am certainly eating more over here and some wrong things but maybe this is the boost my metabolism needed??

OMG!!! I just packed one suitcase and weighed it and realised it weighed 56lb's and that I have lost 2 of those packed suitcases!! I made my Andy and inlaws come and lift the case and imagine 2 of them!!!
.....now I have to make the case under 50lbs to not pay excess baggage, had a good spending spree, got a bunch of stuff (tack) for the kids horses, got myself some Hunter wellies and a new outfit for riding my motorbike (size 14 UK 12 US WOOT!) and way too much other stuff, had to buy 2 more suitcases to get it all home! I am ready to come home now and have a lovely LUSH bath!

Hey Samm sounds like you are having an awesome time and shopping a storm too. Save some shopping for our Edmonton trip!!!!!!!!

112 pounds you are doing awesome!!!!!! It is really fun to lift things and put the weight lost into physical perspective. I often lift my 4 year old and remind myself that I have lost a whole child right now and that is only the beginning.

Have a safe trip back!!!!!!
