[donnamarie]

Right I've messed about long enough as I'm sure some of you know me from here.
I started (again) today.
And have finally made it to the end of day 1
Im off on holiday on april 12th so ive just worked out thats 40 days of ss my goal to lose as much as poss so I can go swimming with my children & hubby.
And feel better about myself.
Looking at my record card from last year by week 5 id lost 1st 12lbs.
So wont be anywhere near target but want to ss till our weekend away holiday.
Then come back and ss again for our menorca holiday in july.. which by then I do want to be at target.
So I'm back and planning on sticking around this site for the next 40 days.
As this site is a god send on helping to stay on track.

Well done HM its taken me about 50 if not more! Day 1's to get to here day 4 lol
But we both know it does get easier...
It's just the thoughts in your head I find the hardest to staying on track and boredom... gotta keep busy lol.
Just goes to show its not hunger its habit.
How are you finding day 2?

[harassed_mother]

It's not too bad at min I'm on leave although had to do bit of work before been and took dog for walk watched a bit of jezza that always makes me feel good the planks on there and went and done a bit of window shopping some clothes are lovely I'm tempted to buy something in smaller size to motivate me but then I think I wanna be smaller than that too so is it a waste ? How have u been u still being good day 4 u almost in ketosis then ?

[donnamarie]
