Don't worry Nev we're all going to have moments, it might not be as bad as you think if the rest of the day has been good. Don't give up now, tomorrow's another day. Did you order the Just Dance?

Nev it's not too late that code lasts until midnight.

It doesn't matter focus888 how heavy you are, come and join us we're all in the same boat. Just think in 6 months time we can all be a bit slimmer.

This sounds like the perfect challenge for me, if you'll have me please! We've just booked to go away on 20th August with a group of friends to somewhere with a pool:eek::eek: and in my current state would probably be laughed straight out of the pool! The other women going are either size 8 or 10 and I don't want my kids to be embarassed for 'having a fat mum'!

So here it is in black and white - 13 stone 10:eek: and a very tight size 16! So my goal is to lose 3 stone 3lb in 6 months!

Good luck everybody!

Welcome toolittletime i'm sure you'll achieve your goal in time for your holiday:j. I remember last year on holiday in the outdoor pool walking past all the super slim tanned people in my horrible baggy swimming costume.:eek::rotfl: I vowed then i wouldn't feel like that again next year.

My plan for a big walk didnt happen due to snow!! Hopefully Just dance will be here soon!!! Have made some lentil & bacon soup for lunches this week, yummy, not sure if its all thay healthy though!

Well I managed my 3km at the gym this morning...gasp! hoping to go 3 x a week..
my worst time is night time...grazing whilst watching tv!! I'm always hungry.:D

hollyh

That soup sounds nice ladyfalco can you post the recipe please i would like to try that.

Well done arroli.:T I find a good thing to graze on is frozen grapes, they take an age to eat and taste so sweet i feel like i'm getting my sugar fix. If i want something savoury it's different flavoured rice cakes, i've got chilli ones and marmite ones at the moment although i'm not sure i like the marmite ones that much.:cool:

I've just done 35 mins on the Wii fit. I'm wearing a size 20 cardigan thingy and it looks really baggy i think it'll be the 1st thing to go.:D
