    We can do it :D

    I'm determined to be productive today. So far I have:
    - put a load of washing on
    - hung washing up
    - made HM bread (currently rising)
    - shredded lots of things

    I also need to pop to school to get some things I've left and I need to do a tidy up and clean this afternoon. Fun!

    Thanks footie, you're always so nice :)

    So, I have ordered a bikini from H&M (in the sale, £7) in a size smaller than I currently am - we're going on holiday for a week in August, so I'm hoping this will help me with my motivation when it arrives! It's gorgeous as well... :)

    Aims for May:
    - Lose 5lbs
    - Put £300 into wedding savings
    - Look at bridesmaid dresses
    - Have a fun day out somewhere!

    I definitely haven't lost 5lbs :( We've put £306.77 into the wedding fund this month so that's that one met :) I've had a look at bridesmaid dresses, not chosen any though. And we've not had a day out anywhere :( very mixed month.

    Aims for June:
    - Lose as much weight as possible for;
    - wedding dress measurement day - 29th June
    - Find a job....
    - Have a meal out with H2B :)
    - Put £300 into wedding savings

    I am determined to meet all my aims this month, which includes (hopefully) finding a job :s

    Hi SF

    Your most welcome chick and I am sure you will achieve all of your targets. Just look back at what you have achieved to date and that alone should spur you on.

    Look at the weight in small bites rather than the whole picture and it wont seem so daunting. 1lb per week and before you know it you will have lost 7lbs by August;) and look at every other 1lb as a bonus. xx
