    Thank you :) Well done on your weight loss! It does seem much more rewarding when you put it in terms of things you know and see .. without it 2 stone doesn't seem real when you have more to lose! Good luck with the rest of your weigth loss :)

    A mixture for me. I feel depressed in a way because I don't have the confidence to go out without some form of long sleeved thin jacket on .. to cover up arms and easy to wrap around belly to hide it. Although this makes me very hot and feeling yucky! On the other hand, it motivates me...
