Feeling great in 2012!
Mine doesn't know anything about carbs etc either. He's sitting scoffing burger and chips and a big bap at the mo, and still isn't overweight!

I have another 2 pounds off this week so it is still moving in the right direction although still slower than I would like! Daft thing to say really as what I would like is a stone a week and thats not going to happen!! Still going down though! Its my birthday on tuesday but have nothing planned as hubby is away till wednesday this week. Went to our daughters for a birthday BBQ on saturday and stuck basically to meat and salad and fizzy water! Going away on thursday to my parents and seeing both my sisters which will be great although I dont know if I will manage to stay on plan so will just have to make wise choices and get back on track as soon as I return on monday.
I have decided I am going to do the race for life in July as I am hoping that it will motivate me to stay on track and also to continue to do daily exercise (managed at least 30 mins a day this weekend) so that will be my next focus! Havent done anything like it since my teens when I used to do 25 mile sponsered walks for various charities. With my niece having cancer again it seems fitting that I should do this and my daughter has already signed up too!
So then I will have only a month to go after that until the big family party for father-out-laws 80th birthday in August! The family from USA will be over then that we havent seen for a couple of years so that is my main target date to get as low as possible for. 100 odd people at a party and many I havent met for years and have only known me at an extremely obese level I would love to be approaching normal by then for the first time in my life! Even at 2lbs a week that will still be another 1 1/2 stone off and hopefully with the exercise and walking I can increase on that! Not even going to think about clothes until a couple of weeks before!
Looking forward to a nice short working week and the 4 days off work now and then lots of family catching up to do. My younger sister doing SW so look forward to seeing the changes in her too. We try not to discuss weight on the phone as have both battled for years, just nice to notice a difference when we meet every couple of months!
Am trying to add an extra litre of water a day too so back to weeing for england again but hope that may help too. That light at the end of the tunnell is getting closer and my jar of stones is looking better - must take another pic!
