Thrilled to have crossed the first stone mark.

Feel really terrible and disheartened at no loss. It's not like I don't have much to lose!

Very teary and lots of emotional turmoil. Feeling lonely but not letting this stop me. Can either start eating again or just stop feeling sorry for myself.

Decided to do the latter and reduce / review my food intake.

Will be really gutted if I don't lose next week – after all the rabbit food.

Now that's more like it! How good do I feel?

On the down side, had another general bad mood week (last week) so that needs to stop asap! I believe it's just frustration and maybe finally coming down off excess sugar?

Taken weeks for my trainers to stop hurting but they have done wonders for my legs by helping correct my gait.

Not far to go for the 2 stone mark!

Mood is a lot better this week and I'm feeling super determined right now. My determination is growing by the day.

Failing on this is really not an option. I would be leaving too many people down!

OMG - I've just hit the 2 stone mark. That's only 7.5 weeks!! YIPPPPPEEEEE!! On a total high and set to start on the next 2 stone.

Clothes fit much better.

So much more energy, happy to do lots of housework and not puffing and panting my way through it.

Delighted with that steady loss.

Fitted into a size 14 jeans which is fantastic.

Legs are hurting less every week.

Getting lots of compliments which is encouraging.

Great result. Left leg pain greatly reduced.

Right leg still hurts but improving.

Seems the workout intensity has been increased since last week and it HURTS!! However feel so much better and happier.

Housework is slipping cos of this!

Took out smaller clothes to see what I have to look forward to! They are all size 10 & 12's but thrilled with myself. None of them fit yet but I've washed and prepped them all – ready for the big day! 100% believe I will fit into a size 10 by Christmas. Santa better be good to me!

Mon 24 June

Had a fairly good week.
I took Tara to Paultons park and that wasn't a great day for eating and I hope I don't gain because of it.

Felt much better in myself and leg pain improvement yet again.

Went clothes shopping with Mandy and it was so fantastic. Spent too much but got lots of lovely stuff, this has really spurred me on yet again to keep going.

I'm desperate to get into my size 12 jeans now.

Tummy is going down nicely (regardless of the looser skin).

Mon 1 July

Delighted yet again. This is a steady loss and it all adds up! Wore high heels last week for the first time in about 7 years. Managed ok but probably looked funny!

Was a very good week for compliments re hair, clothes and weight loss.

I do feel a bit tired so need to improve the quality of food.

Spartacus, Bloody Spartacus. That was attempted murder.

Wow, great loss.

Brought Erin swimming on sat and helping her was effortless. I used to struggle under my own bulk.

I feel that my appetite is reducing and I'm not too hungry a lot of the time. Eating at times because I have to.

Mon 15 July

42 lbs

Another OMG mark! The 3 Stone mark has now been reached. How amazing, 3 months from when I started.

Fitted into my size 12 jeans (but couldn't breathe very well ha ha). Doesn't matter, I'm thrilled. Another few pounds and they will fit so much better.

Wore high heels and a sleeveless top, SHOCK horror. Haven't worn a sleeveless top in years.

Nails are long and strong.

Can't find notes from this week! Doing well though and really looking forward to my Mother visiting.

I have surpassed my expectations so far. I really believed this was a massive task to undertake and it would take me well over a year to achieve which turned me off starting for a long time.

Size 12 clothes are fitting comfortably now. Into the (8 year old) jeans easily now!

Nails doing well, skin doing well. Tummy is loose but it's a small price to pay and I can always blame the kids for that.

Starting to get used to being smaller and now wishing for the day to come when I will fit into the size 10.

My bum is reducing and Gary is now calling me FlatBum.

Still have a lot of work to do, lots of toning required.

Had my hair done and my confidence is up greatly. I feel more comfortable in my own skin. Maybe fit the size 10 by end of Oct??? Fingers crossed.

Aaaaggggghhhh - Put weight on. Pissed off but too tired, bloated and achy to be overly angry. I'll just adjust the food/water intake to make up for this. Might have had something to do with the two meals out, bad girl.

Mom was delighted with my loss which makes me happy.

Got rid of all clothes of a size 16 and 18 and most of the size 14. My aunty I've not seen in months noticed too which was good. Posted a pic of me and girls on FB the other day and had a very positive response.

Not had enough water this week.<.br />
Legs hurting less. Sweating more.

Sleeping not great at the moment.

Walking a lot and not going overboard on treats.

Yet again walking loads. Went out for two meals but was very good at one of them. I ate healthy at the other but did have a pudding! Bliss,first one since I started in April.

Wow, I've been away for two weeks but still managed to lose 3lbs!! I'm such a good girl. Lots of nice words from family and friends on holiday which was amazing.

Bought a fab size 10 top and it fits great!

Bummer! No loss.

Having a very bad month with bloating and tummy problems so I'm not going to beat myself up about this. I'm doing very well.

Another OMG – I've just hit the 4 stone mark! I'm very happy.

Most of my size 10 tops are fitting now! Sooner than I thought.

I bought size 10 trousers the other day and the black ones I already have fit (a bit snug still).

I've now reset my target by another 8 lbs. Really hoping I could pull this off for Christmas.

Went to my first Monday night circuits class and was very nervous. I am very happy to say I held my own and completed the class without collapsing or showing myself up!! Couldn't talk for an hour afterwards though!

Deb gave me 4 pairs of blue jeans and one black. The two A&F ones fit but the Armani ones don't yet. Would deffo need another half stone off. However I'm delighted re the others fitting as they are size 10s.

Great loss. Had a breakout of spots this week but im not too worried. Managed to get the Armani jeans that Deb gave me on but they are too snug!! Think I'm getting the flu as I have a loss of energy. Still managed to do circuits on Monday which I am really enjoying. All good.

I finally gave in my before/after photos to Les. My 10 year old daughter tells me the before photos made her cringe but said she is so proud of my achievement – bless her. I agree with her – the before photos are a shocker. A copy has gone up on my fridge along with photos of the fat/muscle lumps Les has down in the gym.

I will NOT fail at this and I will NOT go back to the fat hellhole I've been in for the past few years.

Happy Happy, I'm not a fat mummy anymore. I hold my head up now and my confidence and mojo are returning weekly.

Had a mild flu hanging around all week. Zapped of energy and didn't record food intake so I need to get back into gear for this week. On the plus side I have managed to get the smaller of the size 10 jeans on (that deb gave me) but still too tight for public viewing.

Big YAY to me as this is now four and a half stone.

Hugely encouraging loss this week. Just shows that recording food intake works!

I feel a difference in the size of my tummy and feel it's a little flatter and smaller of the size 10 jeans are looking good!
Only 4lbs to go and then Im done for losing and will just move onto maintenance from there.
