    Time to get a grip!

    Well yesterday was going really well til I had to unexpectedly go out straight from work so didn't have time to cook my dinner and ended up with pizza! Argh! Anyhow, today is new day and my menu is the same as yesterday seeing as I didn't have that dinner yesterday!

    Time to get a grip!

    As the title says its time I get a grip before I end up the size of a house. I'm currently a not too chubby 9st 7 ish, which may not sound too heavy but I'm only just over 5ft so it's much heavier than I should be! I would like to be around 8st 7 or maybe a little less? I will be starting...

    Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

    I've been MIA from SW for about 8 months but thankfully haven't put on too much weight. Sitting around 9st 7 ish at the moment. Would like to get under 9 stone before I go on holiday in July - I go 7 weeks on Monday so not too unrealistic I don't think?

    Paul Mckenna - I can make you thin!

    I'm following PM somewhat sporadically! Working crazy hours at work doing a job that simply doesn't lend itself to sitting down and taking my time over my dinner. I often have to grab food on the hoof and eat it on the fly. Also splitting from my husband and crazy stressed. However I'm being...
