    To give a little perspective to my family's weight loss I'll give more details. My son and I started our diets on 19th January 2012 and my wife started a week later as she is a shift worker (nurse) and can't always make it to class.

    My starting weight was (wait for it) 27 stone 7 pounds - now 19 stone 11 pounds, my wife's was 13 stone 12 pounds - now 11 stone exactly and my 18 yr old son was 14 stone and 5 pounds - now 12 stone exactly. Both my wife and son hit target weight yesterday for the first time.

    We all go to Slimming World at North Baddesley near Southampton on Thursday evenings at 5.30pm. My (very generous) target weight is to be just morbidly obese at 17 stone 7 pounds, which would be a 10 stone weight loss for me. My wife and son are staying with me on our eating regime and will set new lower targets 1 stone lower as soon as they can get out their current target weights. As for me, I would like to aim for close to 14 stone for my final weight. My short-term aim is to lose 10 stone by our holiday on 9th December 2012.
    Enough for now or I'll bore everyone to tears!


    You have done so well.

    Well done Diane (and to your daughter too).I hadn't heard of hot stone meals in this country. I've often had pierrade in France which is delicious but I always spoil the healthy aspect by dipping the meat in the delicious sauces! Bon Appetit!
