Will have a 9st goal to start with as it isnt as far away as 8 and reassess it then!!!

What is free weights?

Well I think 9 stone is a nice target to set yourself, once you get under 10 stone it really feels like such an achievement!! and you are so close

Well when I was 12 stone I was still managing to get into a size 12 clothing, but it was getting VERY tight, now there was no way on earth I was going to buy a size 14. However with my height with clothes on the only place it was very noticeable was my face. A lot of people have said that they cannot believe I was over 12 stone.

Now I can get into a size 10 trousers and size 10 top, the trousers are a bit loose but comfortable, if I want a skirt I usually buy a size 8, my top size will never be any less than a size 10 because I am very broad shouldered.

(sizing is using clothing from Next)

My work trousers are not on my waist anymore (or where my waist should of been) and are now hanging on my hips!! Problem being my tops are still a bit tight on me so I worry about a gap between my top and my trousers. Constantly pulling my tops down!!!! And my trousers up!!!!!

lol Well that is a good sign, won't be long until you need new trousers by the sounds of it!!!

Well today I didnt get time to eat breakfast so had chicken and salad and mayo for lunch and just had a cooked brekkie for dinner!!!!

I must admit I rarely cook a breakfast in the morning apart from at the weekend

but I do prepare some of those custards for breakfast

I am addicted to them!!!

I did cook a veggie dish tonight which was rather nice

Well cooked cauliflower, mashed, add some butter and a little bit of cream, mix well, put in a shallow oven proof dish, add some cheese and bacon and put in an oven about 190c for 30 mins until nice and brown on top, then once out of the oven top with either sour cream or creme fraiche

Sounds nice Emma - another one for me to try!!!!

Yes Donna is was very easy, it would also work if you got some frozen cauliflower and popped it in the microwave to cook until ready to be mashed.

How are you feeling today? ok?
