Morning all!

I've just been to get my supply of Joe's Sausages. They're totally delicious and free but since they're still sausages I don't trust them 100% so I make sure I dont have many.

I'm having a very late English breakfast now. Scrambled egg, sausages, bacon, beans and mushrooms. I love this it totally fills me.

I bought some Alpen light bars yesterday and tried them for the first time. I chose Chocolate & Orange and they're nice. Two bars can be your healthy extra b choice although I can't really imagine finishing one bar and cracking open another or even having two in a day so I'd probably have one piece of toast or something later on that day.

Something I wished I'd done straight off was taken photos of the old me. I either didn't get around to it or didn't want to. I'm not sure which one to be honest. Now I've lost a stone I'm wishing I'd done it but I'm going to make sure I do today before I lose any more. It will be nice to look back on because I cleverly don't have many, if any full length photos of me.

This might sound a bit stupid but I find I can jump up off the sofa just that little bit easier. Not a lot but when I stand up I can feel like it was a tiny bit quicker..?! Does that make sense to anyone else?! Haha.

Also although i've still got a reasonably big stomach, I find that my clothes hang that tiny bit better. I know that I'm that little bit flatter than what I was.

My clothes are pretty stretchy anyway so I don't have much to gage on that front. I wear a tunic for work with leggings and the tunic might be a fraction more lose.

Anyway - that's my mini ramble for this morning! x

So here's my "breakfast" but really it's my lunch. I wasn't expecting 4 sausages (hubby was cooking) and I only managed two.

Beans, mushrooms, scrambled egg, bacon, sausage & toast.

I just wanted to show you my "ideal" photo. Maybe when I get there I'll want to be less than that. Now granted I was 17 on this and I certainly don't plan on going back in time (!) but I was a size 14 on this photo...

I have focused on this photo alot lately to spur me on.

I can do this! x

Good luck with your journey - you're getting good losses too !!

Awww thank you I'm hoping to use this diary as something to help me through if I have a "wobble" day but also to let people into my positive way to weight loss. Once you've got on those scales the first time you don't ever have to be that weight again x

Hi Karen, I just wanted to say well done on your weightloss so far your doing so well. You sound really motivated and positive. I too have a photo of when I was around 17-18yrs old and a size 16 would love to get there again. Good luck with your next weigh in. x

Thanks Emma I think once your mind is truly made up that's it. Yes it's not an overnight process but bit by bit you can "carve" out the new you.

I stay focused on that photo. I sometimes think "I could NEVER be like that" but hang on - I WAS like that so I can be again!

Good luck on your journey

Mmmmmmm... Yum yum. Decided to try the Activia yoghurts for a change on Mullers so I don't get bored. I only bought mango and peach to try. Now I find out that the mango one is free but peach is 0.5 syns which is still amazing. I'll be buying more of these!

Grrrrrrrrr. Just lost a long post to you. Can't believe it. Grrrrrrrr. Can't face rewriting it all but salient points:

Just wanted to say how great you are doing.

Please, please take lots of photos because the weight is disappearing at a fast rate and it's lovely to be able to look back and compare. Also take measurements because it is lovely to see the losses that way as well.

It's lovely when people notice how much you have lost but don't worry if some people don't notice yet (or don't say). Hardly anyone noticed for me until I'd lost 2-2.5 stone (and even then it was only a few), however loads started noticing at 3-3.5 stone. It's fantastic when you see people after a while and they can't believe it. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.

For one of your other posters as well,

I would also recommend looking only at the next half stone to lose. If I had seriously thought about how much I had to lose when I started, I would never have done it however now when I look at the total amount left, it really isn't that daunting. So, stick with it. Great to hear your positive thoughts. Good luck for this week.
