Why Wow? Because I am proud of myself and I'm not ashamed to say it :D

I have weighed in today at 13stone 12lbs! That's below 14stone for the first time in probably over a decade (possibly since I was a teenager!). That's why I'm proud!

I went to see my parents and brother this weekend - they noticed it too. I'm still at a BMI of 26.3 and so still officially overweight, but I'm bloody pleased to be able to look in the mirror and consider myself a reasonable size, almost thin (in perspective with 2008 anyway!)!

My parents and G don't want me to lose any more. I'm going to pursue another 12lbs to take my BMI out of the "overweight" range and then I'll start weight lifting properly with protein shakes to build muscle mass. I don't mind being 13 and a half stone if it includes at least half a stone of muscle. In fact, I don't mind being 14 stone if there's a stone of muscle in there.

Building muscle will be fun - there's no point being slimmer if I look like Mr Muscle of the TV adverts. I need bigger arms, tight pecs and strong back and legs (I'm not sure a six-pack is possible unless I reduce my body fat percentage to something ludicrously low).

Anyway, I'm pleased, things are on the up, and everyone's generally happy!
