Hello all!

I'm Vesta (or at least, I am on here ;-) ) I'm 28 and a married working mother of one. I'm from the UK.

I've just joined this website so have created this weightloss diary to document my progress and hopefully keep myself motivated. Although I have just joined the website I've been doing the Slimfast diet for about a month. I thought it would be nice to talk to other people going through the same thing.

I'll be weighing myself every Monday morning.

My stats
Height - 5ft 2.5"
Start weight - 12 stone (168 pounds)
Current weight (As of 7th January 2014) - 9 stone and 10 pounds (136 pounds)

Mini Goals -
Get BMI below 30 (11st 10lb) - Achieved 3rd June 2013!
Lose first stone (11st) - Achieved 30th July 2013!
Get half way towards my goal (10st 11lb) - Achieved 27th August 2013!
Lose second stone (10st) - Achieved 12th November 2013!

Main Goal -
Get BMI into healthy range (9st 8lb) by 29th October 2013

I have choosen the end of October for my main goal as my friends usually have a big party around that time for bonfire night. So I would like to look my best. Once I've reached that goal I will decide weather to maintain the weight or lose more depending on how I look and feel.

The night before my weekly weigh in and I screwed up. My husband picked me up from work and said we should get KFC. I said no but in the end I gave in. I hope I haven't screwed up all mt hard work this week. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.

Thanks tink. I'll make sure not to have any snacks this evening. I had a look on the KFC website and what I ate came to around 700 calories. So less then I thought!

Its horrible saying no just try and get an idea of where your going theres always something you an have ,indians quite good if you need takeaway, and you can have a mcdonalds McChicken sandwich and small
Chips is around 700 . Its obviously not good to have all the time ! But at least your not missy out or annoying hubby by saying no all the time !

Thanks for the tips! It's good to know I can pay the occasional visit to these places without blowing the whole days calories in one meal.

Weekly weigh in time. I have lost 1 pound this week. Not a huge loss but as long as the numbers are going in the right direction I'm happy.

I'm going to miss tomorrows weigh in as I'm staying at my parents for a few days. So I don't have my scales. So I'll be weighing myself on Tuesday instead.

I've just realised that I'm one third of my way to my weight loss goal. :-D

Also, I've just discovered the app so I'm posting from work on my iPhone.:-D

I'm switching my weigh in day to Tuesday morning. As it's just easier for me. So no weigh in today.

1 and a half pound loss this week. I've worked out I need to lose 1 and a half pounds a week to hit my target on time. (Actually it will be a little early.) So I'm happy with this.

Thanks. I was a little nervous about this week. As my husband's back home. He's been abroad due to work for a week. And he's been trying to get me to eat junk food ever since he got back. The week he was gone I lose 3 pounds, he gets back and a week later I've lost 1 and a half pounds. He's clearly a bad influence on me. lol.

Only a pound and a half to go until I've achieved my next mini goal, so that's going to be my aim for next week.
