    Really struggling at the moment - and am getting to the stage where I am so fat the task seems to big :o

    Break it down to really small steps

    12s 1lb - goal to lose to 2lb so the scales read 11s13lb a seeing the 11 is a good boost

    11s13lb - goal to lose 3lb as 11s10lb - just looks better

    11s10lb - goal to lose 1lb as it will be single figures

    11s9lb - goal to lost 1lb as this will be a half stone loss

    11s8lb - continue as 25% towards target

    etc etc etc

    Happy Friday :j

    no weight loss here this week BUT I have done pampering & some yoga everyday so that'll do.

    My target date for impressive weight loss has been rescheduled to May 1st.

    Not sure how much longer I can go without alcohol though, I feel so dull & boring :(

    Hi

    No weightloss this week :o put have had a few bad days (and a hard time at work) so haven't really been focused, so not surprised either :( Been invited to a wedding in May, the day before I go on holiday - I have 11 weeks :eek:

    Had my credit card bill so have updated my total - am now under £24k :j My goal for 2010 is to get under £20k so I am heading in the right direction :) And I am really pleased that I am finally (mostly) living within my means and not adding to the debts as quickly as I pay them off :D

    Loads to do today, am dragging myself off the sofa in a minute (sacrificing James :() and going to the gym!

    Hope everybody has a good Saturday :D
