Hi River and welcome! Christmas is SUCH a long way off, in LL terms. You'll have completed your first 14 weeks by then and so you can expect to have lost at least 3 stone, probably more, as long as you've stuck to it - which isn't hard to do after the first few days! Just picture the look on your family's faces when they see you at Christmas. Go on - picture it! Bet it made you smile! Hold that thought in your head and return to it if ever you feel yourself weakening! You can do it!
