Another day nearly done , am feeling a bit rubbish as haven't done the shred for a few days due to this Damn Chesty cold, will still do as much as I can On the exercise bike this evening though. Not going to let it stop my exercising completely.

Overall so far I'm surprised how easy I have been finding this so far.... I've cone to the conclusion that all diets work but for it to work u have to be in the right frame of mind x

How do u get into the right frame of mind??!!

For me it's a few things that keep me motivated, obviously my health, and also I love fashion and clothes. And going in town shopping trying on dresses and looking like a sausage really gave me a kick up the backside I needed, I was totally in denial about how big I had got.

I have a dress in size 10 that I absolutely love to keep me On track, to be able to fit into that will be the biggest buzz ever.......... Alot better than anything I could eat <3 x

Also I'm seriously fed up of being the fat friend :-( x
