These pics were taken 11 April 2011, i was 15 stone 4 lb, it was seeing these pictures of myself that made me realise how fat I had got, this was a year on from having my daughter, I was not this big when I'd had her, so a year of meeting mums, tea, cake, laziness and pure ignorance on my part made me get to this size! I then went on to lose 2 stone in 2 months, through healthy eating and lots of excersize! This brought me down to the weight I am today, 13 stone 4lb, and I fell pregnant with my second at the end of May 2011.
After having my second, I weighed 13 stone 5lb, Gaining only 11lb in pregnancy, which i lost within the first week of having her. it is after pregnancy i got a little complacent and went up to 14 stone 1. So here i am now on week 4 of my quick fix before my wedding, then who knows what path i shall be led down.
We all have the horid pics.... just thought i would share mine!! xxx

Thank you! I would have gaine less Uni didn't give in to the chocolate cravings! It was the dairylee Dunkers that did it for me lol n in the end sugar and naughty stuff! 
Because I'd lost 2 stone I was already in the healthy eating zone! I just upped my calories from 1200 to 1500 xx

Hello,
So on Wednesday, after my weigh in I decided to try on a pair of jeans which was my first target! And I'm in them and zipped up!! They are the same jeans I wore when I fell pregnant with my first! Fan-dabi-dozi!! Soooo pleased!
I went swimming last night and feel shattered today, well aqua aerobics then 22 lengths, and tonight I'm booked onto a spinning class, I'm dreading it!! Ha ha! I'm working up a sweat just thinking about it! I wonder if I will be able to walk tomorrow ha ha!
Bit bored of the food now, I see why people need a break!!
I think I should write down my goals and add them to my signature! That's what I'll do now! Have a good day everyone! Xxx

But!! 3lb to go and I'm in the 12's!!! Whoop whoop!!!
I hope is class tonight doesn't kill me!! Lol xx

Well, good evening diary, gals n guys, who ever if anyone that reads this lol ....
What a rubbish weekend at work, Saturday, was soooooo busy, I work on my own, I started at 8.30am and didn't get my lunch break until 3.30pm!! Cos I was sooo busy, I hardly drank anything and became dehydrated, had a day from hell, Sunday hasn't been much better!!! Still too busy to have a chance to drink, so found myself gulping on my shity half an hour break to try and sink atleast a litre, so for two days I haven't achieved my water goal!!! Argh, at least though, the scales have stuck on 13.2!!
Well, tomorrow is another day, I have aerobics at 7 and boy does this gal kick arse lol looking forward to it!!
As for the spinning class on Friday.... Ooph that hurt!!! I'm still walking like I've got something up my bottom now.... Ouch ouch ouch!!! Lol
Went to See possession on Friday too..... Don't bother I was sooooooo bored ha ha! But the bizarest thing I've ever seen, this woman in the cinema, quite a big lady, instead of asking for a new uniform cos hers no longer fit, or lose a few stone to fit in them again, she stood there, bold as brass, checking our tickets as the face of odeon, with her trouser flies stretched so wide open, tied at the top with bobbles and elastic..... There was a big triangle of belly hanging out..... I mean, come on love..... Ask for a bigger uniform! I wouldn't mind if her t-shirt covered her but it didn't! Lol bizarre!
Anyway I'm done with my little moan about things, and feel a little better lol.
Diet wise, it's all good! Bit bored and my oh and childrens food is starting to smell more and more appealing lol
Anyway, I'll sign off and stay strong worth my cupa t

Good morning,
Well WI day for me so that's 2lb off this week! Fed up.com! I have another niggle in my head and I'm actually wondering if I should give up and go healthy eating and excersize!
Ive lost 2 lb this week despite doing excersize classes, I used to lose that doing the healthy diet last year, so I'm wondering if I should swap diets back to that one, for one I'm feeling tired all the time, my muscles are feeling weak, and I'm just getting a bit fed up of this diet, so was thinking of refereeing this week, and supplementing 2 of my meals with the packs eat the other two and kick the arse out of excersize! it totally changed my body shape too and I want to excersize, as mad as it seems.
Prim not someone who can sit on this diet and lose, I've shown that, and I'm not someone who can do excersize with it and lose either..... So should I turn back to healthy.
Plus the only positive sign is that I'm losing inches, and yes that is important, more important than weight, but my scales are showing that out of the 14lb I've lost 5 lb of that's muscle and even though I'm excersising, I'm still losing muscle! It's annoying me something chronic!
Feeling rather fed up of it all! Xx

Hello
Well done so far! You're doing great! I start on saturday but after reading your posts, I am worried about the muscle losing thingy?! Is it dangerous? Do you get your muscle mass back after re-feeding??
Hhhmmmm????

Hey,
How a you? I haven't been on much as some days are impossible, and I don't like these new settings on here, where have all the signatures gone and options to do stuff to your page?
Lost 4 lb this week but re Gained a lb this morning cos I caved in and had some beef (casserole and dumpling) not a lot but enough to gain a lb obviously lol
I'm really feeling it today, I just want to eat normal food and do it through Excersize now so I've been looking into the re-feed. I'll be re feeding 2 weeks early but I plan to crack on in the gym! I just need a break! I know it means I won't be at target, but it's either that or I'll cave in and not re-feed properly.
Stef how much did you gain on the re-feed? Now I'm 12 stone 13 I really don't want to go back up in the 13s but I have to do something before I cave in! Plus I'm low on shakes and can't face some of the packs I have left, gone right off mushroom pasta and macaroni, and I have 10 portions of it! Aaa agh..... Lol
How is the Atkins going? I'm going to try and find you now xx
Hope you are all well, xx
