To be fair, you started a stone heavier pretty much and we have lost more or less the same in the same time, so shall we give ourself's a big pat on our back!! lol
really well done and welcome to 'Club 10'!!!
Did you do your sums yet Sarah?
Yep! Jan 10lbs, Feb 9lbs and Mar 9lb. Luckily my gain last week comes in April so a little bit of time to get back on track! Hopefully still on target for 6 stone this year tho
Yep, mine are home from Uni and it feels like I'm constantly cooking! It doesn't change when they're older, still want to 'treat' them. In fact it's worse 'cos they can come to the pub with us now
It's fine to have a few days off plan for high days and holidays. You've done amazingly well, almost halfway to 6 stone
Well done!!

I WILL lose 6 stone! :)

Have to admit I thought it would have tasted better and looked like puke when I pureed it!!! Gonna have a dabble to get the taste more zingy - thinking chilli flakes or Tabasco as something is definitely missing (probably syns!!!!) but birthday Sunday /meal out Saturday and damage limitation is making this a must lol

Ahhh I've found last week was fine but this week I've taken a hit with the holidays!!! I'm off out for a jog / walk now and going to go syn free - well upto 5 a day for the next 3 days and pray the scales are kind Monday. It is hard tho in the holidays as I always feel a terrible guilt my son hasn't done enough? Do others feel that?
I've asked him if he wants cinema / tank museum / days out and all he says is no mum i like staying at home and playing in my garden ... Lol. Bless him so I haven't got an excuse as he's happy to be at home its just me carrying a guilt that he's not doing what all the other mums are bragging their kids re doing!
Off to primark in a bit too for some cheap retail therapy.
Do any of you lovely ladies and gent go swimming?? I really want too but worried about others ? :S not had the urge to swim for years and years but I really fancy it now. Hmm.

You're son is enjoying his hols so just enjoy as well - he sounds a real cutie xx. The time will come soon enough when he wants you as his taxi service
I love swimming and don't really go enough but I would recommend you go when kids are back in school - much quieter and I feel self conscious - want to be first in and last out, so wrinkled like a prune! but no one is bothered as during term time it tends to be mmmmm the 'older' set lol
Just do it xx

Lol very true..
Aww see I really want to go! So do you go during the day or early morning?? I really fancy going. I might take the plunge next week... Just gotta get a swim suit that makes me look like Kelly brook!!! Hehe.
It's the actual swimsuit that worries me... I have bits and bulges poking out everywhere!

Determination is Key
Good morning! It's fabulously sunny here this morning so I might get the rest of that painting done. But first I want to go through the house and give it a good cleaning. Sometimes wonder what the point is in cleaning when I have a toddler leaving a trail of destruction behind her lol
Good going, well done!!
If you look around you there's not many people you see anywhere with a perfect body. Male, female, young, old... we're all lumpy, bumpy and whatever else. Swimming is a brilliant all round low impact exercise if you're overweight. You may feel really concsious of how you look but in reality no one else cares and at least you will be doing something about it!
WI for me this morning..... very happy to have lost 5lb of my holiday gain this week so only 1/2lb to go to get back to the 2 stone mark. Fingers crossed for next week
Happy weekend everyone, hope you all have a good one!!

I am going swimming at my local swimming baths around 3 or 4 times a week, I am going mid morning or early afternoon as these are the quietest times each day (Mon-Fri). They also do an adult hour each evening at about 8pm as well as twice a week a ladies only hour!! Also remember nobody see's anything apart from your head when you are in the pool. Also remember how much this could help speed things up for you both gaining confidence and losing weight!!!
Go for it girl!!!!

I'm a loser
I am really struggling this week when it comes to chocolate!! I have never been a big chocolate fan (apart from once a month lol) but since 12 easter eggs have made their way into my house for my little girl I have been really craving them!
Also...I would love to have a butty! A proper butty!! 2 slices of thick white bread filled with spicy chicken, lettuce, onion and spicy mayo!!
It's getting tough after 13 weigh ins but I am so proud of what I have achieved and want to get to at least half way this month - only 3.5lbs to go.
Sorry...felt the need for a rant haha xxx
