I had a day off from work today. 

The weather was a bit dull and miserable, and very windy.

What better weather for a trip to the park for a bit of kite flying

with my son, 

daughter and...

Mr J

Little H had a try

but he much prefered playing in the dirt

I'm Still Here

Hi everyone. Just a little post to let you all know Im still here, and let you know how things are progressing.

On the visa front...well things are going slow....for me anyway. Everything has been accepted on the US side and all the paperwork has been sent to the American Embassy in London. Im now waiting for a date for a medical in London, then a week later an interview at the Embassy. I know its getting closer everyday, but I miss Mr D so much and cant wait to start our life together. Im hoping to hear something in the next six weeks, then maybe fly out to California sometime in August.

But, its all in God's time.. right?

In the mean time, I get to spend time with my children and gorgeous grandson. I will miss them when I leave, but thank goodness for Skype.

Im working all the hours I can to save money to take back with with me for the wedding and our home. The work is hard. The residents are very elderly, some ill, and many can do nothing for themselves. But, in a strange way, I enjoy it. I would like to find work like this when Im settled in my new life. And anyway, how can I complain when the view from the windows at work looks like this.

My weight is still coming off...all 70lb of it now and Im feeling so much better. A long way to go still but I am more determined than ever. I plan to be healthy and spend a very long time with the man I love. Im still walking to and from work when I can, and so manage to take photos of the changing seasons.

 

I will try to post when I can. I hope you will all bear with me until my life is less hectic, and I will keep you informed as time goes on. I still keep up with all your posts and its wonderful reading how you all are. Thank you all for your continued support.

Love and Hugs

Losing It...

So ....I got weighed...and I have lost another 4lb. Ive now reached the goal I set myself so Im keeping my promise and posting a full length pic..and some stats. Its very hard for me to do this as my self confidence is still in the gutter.. notice the false smile..and maybe I shouldnt have worn the baggy jumper...lol

After getting such big numbers in the past, I must admit I was a little disappointed...still a loss is a loss. My trainer said not to worry about it though, as Im gaining muscle which weighs heavier than fat, so forget the scale and go by my clothes....

So here are the figures..deep breath..here goes
Pic 1..November 2013 - 22st 2lb or 310lb ..size UK 32..US 30
Pic 2..Yesterday May 2014 - 16st 1lb or 225lb ..UK 24..US 22
A total of 6st 1lb...85lb...and 4 dress sizes in 5 months...not bad....

A Letter!

Just got home from work and there is a letter waiting for me from the American embassy in London listing all evidence I need to get together for the next step. .That was fast! 

Luckily I have the next four days off to get things sorted...and I was prepared and have most of it already. 

Exciting!

Four Thirty Call

I had a Skype call from Mr D at 4.30 this morning.  A letter has arrived from US immigration. Our application has been accepted and my paperwork has been forwarded to the London Embassy. 

 

 I am so happy. We can now complete the next set of forms. Its more waiting...but at least I know the ball is rolling.
