Jade's Journey To The 8's

becoming a happier, healthier me
I lost 2st with Slimming World in 2013 and then put 2.5st on during pregnancy with my daughter who was born in April this year. I have been on and off plan since then and have started various diaries on here which didn't last very long.
I have lost the confidence I gained last year, none of my slimmer clothes fit and I feel more frumpy mummy than yummy mummy. I'm making a fresh start from here on and I'm determined to see this diary and my weight loss through this time! I started with a 1lb loss in my first week (I weigh in on Wednesdays) and so you join me on my second week on my journey to the 8's... no matter how long that will take :)
