Hope I have done this right so here goes ... First pic is me in August with my granddaughter Sophie and the other was taken last night with my newborn niece. Pics are almost identically setup (accidental btw) but I'm 4st down


Mmm well that didn't do to well ....back to the drawing board on how to get pics up on posts lolol

Four stone is amazing. You must be so proud of yourself. You are nearly a third of the way there. Brilliant progress. I hope I have your tenacity.

Thanks Rose. It wasn't the best light to take a photo in & look a bit washy washy lol. I bought this outfit yesterday thinking it wont fit but I would use it to aim to slim into it. Tried it on last thing last night under harassment of hubby and was so amazed that it fit that I demanded he take a photo right there and then hehehe. ... I'm well chuffed

Oh am I am going to kill you femfrankie, you put the idea of cheese into my head last week, last night I cracked. 5 water biscuits, chunk of Stilton with apricots, chunk of brie and of course had to try the chutney I made at christmas!!!!! I am taking no responsibility, blaming you!!!!!

Just updated my weight loss, 2 lbs to go to my next goal, under 200 lbs. But just noticed, just broke through 40% %EWL. Balloon two months today.

 

[femfrankie]

Ohhhh hun I am so sorry lolol... I know how you feel though. I have never ever been a sweet tooth and even less so a cake person but yesterday I had a really full on craving for of all things a Victoria sponge!!! Nothing triggered it, it just came out of the blue and stuck for the rest of the day but all day all I could think of was how could I get my hands on some and if I had all the ingredients at home so I could go bake one. I didn't so problem solved lol but I swear if someone had came in with a Victoria sponge I would have scoffed the lot!
Don't beat yourself up about the cheese hun you had your blow out now pick yourself up & carry on but hide the cheese! Lol xx

Oh not beating myself up at all, it was fabulous. I was still within 1200 calories for the day so I am happy with my treat. 6 lbs and I breach the 13 s. Overall, so far am so happy that I got my balloon. How do others feel?? Around the time we got them, there was a huge amount of negative experiences on here with them. But we seem to be managing well. Lucky.

Ohh despite the restriction on what foods I can eat I am loving it so far. It is working for me and I am managing to work with it. I can do bland for 6 months as long as I am seeing results
