    Everyone is doing really well at the moment. I know the weather has definately given me a bit of a boost. Had a bit of a naughty treat yesterday - kfc, not had one for years! Was yummy and i did make up for it by going jogging and doing lots of walking. Anyway we all deserve a treat every now and then dont we.
    Its now only 5weeks till we go to center parcs so i'm setting myself a target of 1lb a week which will take me to 10st 7. It should be doable i think.

    I seem to be hovering at the 10st 13lb mark at the moment. I'm OK with that. I'm so bloated though! Only 6 weeks gone, but I've got a serious gut.

    At first I thought I was really pigging out because I was eating loads, but then I realised that I'm eating loads of different things, but not big portions.
