you are most welcome, I do like encouraging other dfw's but I find some of the diary's move so fast you need to live on here to keep up and I do not have enough time as it is! totally agree with the keeping you on track, I love seeing my achievements written down, makes it seem more real and less like daydreams!
have a look at the diary if you want, I update it on the first of each month and just done one now so it'll give you a bit of an idea of where I'm at and where I hope to go
keep up the good work!0 -

And me! I read, just don't reply. Though am quite new so am still overwhelmed by the size of the site sometimes...! Well done on your weight loss, i started the year at 12 st 4lb and have managed to get down to 11st 5lb. Am aiming for 10st 6lb by June 30th, entirely do-able! What would we do without incentive of hols?!

Thanks folks for the replies :j
Seaxwyn - I still haven't decided which vouchers to go for, but think I may end up with the M&S ones, then I can treat myself to a new 'holiday wardrobe'
chica_fi - Grampian vibes have been received and Yorkshire ones returned
Where are you going on your hols? I can't quite believe it, but I've not had any chocolate for about a week now and I am such a CHOCAHOLIC
I am determined to fit a comfortable size 12 before we go to Portugal! DMP starts June 2012, £38,180.

Lovely - I've never been to France (only Euro Disney:p ). Before we met (22yrs ago) DH used to go camping in France and we've always said we'll go some time, but that time has never come
- think I like my 'home comforts' too much.
Good luck with the 'baby trying'
. We have one beautiful daughter; she's 13 now but still my 'baby'. There's nothing better than being a mum, despite the stroppy teens we're experiencing now - I wouldn't swap her for the world! DMP starts June 2012, £38,180.

Evening diary :hello:
Ive been at work today and got paid double time (worked 7 1/4 hrs - paid for 14 1/2) :j
Just to update on my weightloss as well
16/04/07 = 12st 3lb
23/04/07 = 11st 13lb (4lb loss)
30/04/07 = 11st 12lb (1lb loss)
07/05/07 = 11st 10.5lb (1.5lb loss)
I'm really pleased as I am on track to lose the desired 21lb before we go to Portugal in July.
Have to admit to cheating quite a bit this week too
- devoured half a bag of Jelly Tots one of the girls brought in to work! Still not had any chocolate though :cool: DMP starts June 2012, £38,180.

kaz I think you'll find that jelly tots are an integral part of a well balanced diet....or so I keep telling myself! :rotfl:
good news on teh continued weight loss though :T0 -
6 1/2 lbs :j well done, kazz!!! Very impressed. I'm stuck somewhere in the low elevens. I know why, though, 'treats' have sneaked their way bank onto my daily meal plan. I walked all the way from one end of union street to the other today though - surely that must have helped
