That must have been a wonderful feeling. I am sure you walked out of Asda with a big grin.

Can't wait to shop size 12, don't remember ever wearing that size

Brilliant stuff!

Thanks girls, think the dresses I am wearing are at least 5 years old so that must be last time I was near this size - it is definitely true head takes a while to catch up. Really hoping to have a loss tomorrow and see a 9 on the scales.

I decided at uni so about 18 years ago, I was never a big fan of meat or fish but was eating it out of convenience, wasn't easy to eat out being veggie etc. I did have an understanding of the ethical issues and that had some influence on it but I also truly believe some people need meat in their diet. So I decided to take a stand and deal with the inconvenience (ie told myself to get a grip).
My parents and two brothers are now vegetarians although my mum and one brother eat fish. My partner also is now the same and only eats fish (was sick of my meals being nicer than his) my children will eat meat and can make their own decision

Mmmm the goats cheese sauce sounds good - will have to give it a try (maybe will less garlic though?) x

Yes have had to bin it today, all I could taste was garlic all night - made me feel ill. It was 100gr goats cheese, two tablespoons of Greek yoghurt (I used fat free and more than that) then I used one clove of garlic. The original recipe uses 2 tablespoons of olive oil which I left out. You then just use a bit of water to thin it out if you want. I whizzed it up with a blending stick x

Target is 9st 7. So 5lb to go. Then will see what happens, i will stay on plan. I think that when I am back to work it will be more difficult, so want to stick to a weight that is maintainable long term x

 

[DoingItRight]

I hope I do as well as you. You make it seem achievable.

Yeah good to stick to the plan to maintain healthy eating and control off the syn side off life

My goal in 10s but wouldn't mind 9.7 by the end of the year
