I've just read back a few pages over the thread and just wanted to say Gemma, you truly are an inspiration, you look absolutely wonderful and what willpower losing all that weight, it makes the weight I need to lose look like a drop in the ocean, and you are so nearly there. As to your problems with Mike, just make sure you flirt with him often so that he can see that you are like that with ALL people including him...
Jayne, what a bummer your OH forgetting your birthday, I would be totally gutted if my DH did that, but I do remember once going away for the weekend to Alton Towers with my ex hubby and some friends and it was my friends birthday whilst we were away, and her husband and children all forgot her birthday, she was very upset too, but we then didn't let him forget it for the rest of the time we were away... dont let this throw you off track, you have done really well, and you are nearly at your goal weight, it will just take a bit more effort, if you give it 100% and it works you will feel so much better in yourself because you will have succeeded that other things will fall into place too...
I didn't mention did I that I have 10 children, although only 5 live at home now, I have a 25, 24, 23, 21, 17, 15, 14, 12, 8 and 6 year old. And believe me when we take the 5 away in our caravan in the summer it is a total nightmare, strangely it is my 15 year old daughter who is the worst too....
Frances, I am 5ft 4 and my goal seems to be around the same as yours, I am aiming for 10 stone, but dont want to look old and haggard (I am 45 in April) so will revise it as I go along, my 21 year old daughter told me yesterday that she would tell me when I get to that stage.... lol
Have a great day all, stick in there and good luck for 100% commitment today...
