  • Broken Another Stone Barrier/Love Story

    Hi Guys and Gals, I hope you are all as well as I am feeling, this fine October morning right here in Bonnie Scotland.
    It's a bit Dreech..
    to say the least...Lol
    but in my soul the sun is shining brightly.

    It's my 11th Wedding Anniversary today
    I am married to Iain, whom I love dearly,
    and we have been together for 18 years,
    we are very happy and hope to see another 30+ years together at least.
    Iain is 8 years younger than me,
    ( My toy boy) Tee Hee.


    Today ...I have just weighed myself and have lost another pound
    and hey guys and gals, that may not mean a lot to any of you,
    but to me, it speaks volumes,
    as I have just broken through the 15 stone threshold
    and I am now down into my next stone to lose....
    Yippee !!!! 14 stone 13 Pounds

    Haven't been that in a long time.



    UNPLEASANT PHOTO REMINDER

    This was how I looked on the 19th May, when I started this WOE
    I am so embarrassed by these photos!
    My Husband Iain took them in my back garden
    I could almost have cried.


    A FRONT VIEW

    Sadly, for me though this photo shocked and hurt me even more,
    I looked like a beached whale, and I felt like one too
    and these photos just confirmed it.

                      You are so inspirational! I'm very glad to have you on this bulletin board with us. I'm very confidant that you will reach goal very soon!!! Even sooner, you will reach the magical place called "Onederland!!!"

                      Your friend, Sunny!
