    I'm trying to think of a name for your challenge. Maybe something like:

    'I've managed to lose 12st of useless weight, now for the last few lbs!'

    Someone suggested a new name for my thread once I managed to break free of my ex, think it was 'Ding dong, the !!!!!!'s gone!', which made me LOL.

    ha ha, good luck Topgirl, personally, I found that once I'd got rid of 18 stones of unsightly blubber, the rest was relatively easy!! ;)

    I lost almost five stone, got a new job, a social life, and most importantly, happiness...

    Thanks everyone. I have so many good things coming up; I have an amazing child, loads of plans with friends when he's with his dad (not the destructive one, thankfully) and so much to *hopefully* keep me busy.

    I feel like I've finally wised up and it feels amazing.

    Well done you, all the best of luck:D

    Well done! You can't put a price on being happy in your own skin, and you can't beat a night out with the girls! After my ex and I seperating last year, I have had the best time of my life. I spent last night with itunes on loud, on shuffle, dancing round my lounge all on my own!

    Go for it girl!

    Wish you every luck in the world. You're not going to need it though as your respect for yourself and your positive attitude will see you through.

    To happier times. x
