99 (and -1)

Fear not, this is not a post about maths or statistics or equations because that would not be my thing AT ALL. Maths gives me the heebeejeebies; I can add, I can subtract (as long as the number is small or ends with a zero), and I know my times tables, but anything more complex and you'll see me reaching for the calculator or, more likely, ignoring the issue entirely.

No, this is a short post about more interesting topics by far. Firstly '99' - that's how many followers I now have! Many thanks to Stephanie for mentioning me on the B00BS forum so the other attendees know about me - I think this is where most, if not all, of my new followers have come from. I say 'think', because I'm having an ongoing issue with Blogger in that I can't actually see who my followers are; I know there are 99 of you, but the field where your little photos/names used to pop up is blank and has been for a while. I've had a look on the Help page and it appears that many other people are having this issue, and that Blogger are aware of it, but that's about as far as it goes. So please don't think me rude for not having popped over to say 'hello', I just don't know who it is I need to say hello to!

Secondly '-1' refers to the fact that I've lost another 1lb! I am now in the '12-stone something' bracket, which is a great place to be. The last time I was in the 12-stone bracket was in 1999, when I was a young and sprightly 27-year-old. At the time I was no doubt worrying about my weight, wishing I could be slimmer, constantly thinking about what I should/shouldn't eat. If only I had appreciated the size/weight I was then (and if only I'd stayed at that size/weight...)

Anyway, as of Tuesday, I now weigh:

12st 13lbs - 181lbs - BMI 30.1

(a total loss so far of 81lbs; 13lbs to go)

Just one more pound til my next set of comparison photos!
