Well, ive been thinking about starting a diary and since its the beginning of a new year and my first W.I of 2012, what better time to start! I am so very glad Xmas and new year is over, despite having a fabulous time, I can't wait to get stuck in! I started slimming world 10 weeks ago and...

Gahhhhhh I'm dreading w.I tomorrow!!! I've been good food wise but had a little tipple of wine and champers Xmas day, keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I've not gained since I've managed to resist chocolate n sweet treats, an hour of exercise is needed after work tonight!!! Good luck with...

A bottle of water, so technically that's drinking, gahhhh, work, food shop, Xmas shopping, home to clean up then maybe I'll have some food, don't have time to eat today haha gotta love Xmas x

It's the people you see everyday who don't notice, I've noticed, it the people we see every few weeks who are noticing...woah (mind frazzle) hahah. I get lots of comments from extended family members who i don't see all the time but my boyfriend, although supportive, does not see it, probably...

4.5 lbs off this week :) happy with that x

Oh and krupskaya well done! That's an amazing loss!!! X x

Lost 4.5lbs today :) didnt quite make my next half stone (1lb to go) but still pleased with my efforts, so just when my day was going good, my car rolls down a slight incline (despite the hand brake being fully on, I might add) hit a telephone pole, huuuuuge dint n scratch below my right light...

Wooow Steve, that's amazing, well done you! I've uploaded my losses onto the sw website which showed me my progress so far, it's amazing to see the line dropping which also predicts an estimate to when you will be at target based on past performace, I think it's a brill tool, also noticed my bmi...

I don't have a particular goal, I do my goals in stones and I will keep going till I'm happy with myself so it's difficult to say but about another 3 as a rough estimate? I'm going to keep going until I feel happy with my weight and even after that I will keep on track to ensure I don't put it...

Awh thanks guys! Bought myself some new clothes, boots and make up and have had my hair cut. People are now starting to comment on how different i look (weight wise) which is nice, but most importantly the hair and the new make up is making me feel a bit nicer. It sounds odd but ive not bought...

Spicy sausage, tomato and chilli pasta... Nom nom

Fingers crossed!! Let us know how you get on x x x

I tried making a beef stroganoff the other night and replaced the cream with natural yogurt, the flavours were there but I found it curdled a bit which put me off entirely, must work out how many syns the weight watchers cream is to try instead x x

I am sooooo in! I've been so good up to now, I wanted to lose two stone before Xmas and I've almost hit target in 7 weeks (0.5lbs to go). I'd absolutely hate to see all my hard work get flushed because of Xmas goodies! I totally believe it's doable, a little lenience on Xmas day but otherwise...
