Thanks hunnie, i hope it eases soon too I was really pleased with a pound off and cant wait for next weigh in. I did have a little peek on my scales this morning ( they weigh me accurately to the ones I use for my 'official' weigh ins at Boots) and it was looking good (14st 11.2lb) so I am hoping that continues and improves for Monday I am going to work extra hard to be in the '13's' by the end of April! As that would be amazing and will keep me away from the chocolate over Easter I just realised that your total loss is aprox what I still have to go!! I hope I can lose it in a simular time scale as you did, I would be well chuffed xx

That's a tough challenge for April but I'm sure if you stay focused and work for it you can do it

People kept saying I was losing too quickly but it worked for me. ....if someone had told me 7 months ago that I'd achieve this much I never would have believed them but I've kept focused on the end goal and I've really enjoyed the journey. ... I'm away over easter and I'm hoping I'll stay on track. ..my biggest hurdle is usually alcohol so I'm not drinking at all when I'm away so that I can still enjoy meals as there'll be lots of nice food on offer!

I'm staying with family who are all big cooks and really into their food. ...big sit down dinners in the evening, tea and cake every afternoon!

Plus lots of wine as no driving!

It will be a huge challenge, but I will give it my best

You have done amazing and it really shows that you have enjoyed your journey!! You have really inspired me to stick to plan, and Im sure you have inspired many others too!! I have no doubt at all that you will be just fine over Easter, it sounds like you have already given it lots of thought, you have a good plan in place and you know where your weaknesses are and how you will get round them.....it sounds perfect!! xx

[lass321]

Hope the film was good - my children are too big to take to the pictures now - will have to wait for grandchildren

 

[sarah-louise x]

We had a great time at the cinema thank you everyone!! We ended up watching a later one than intended as my car had its MOT today and they was running late, which put us late, which put dinner late, which unfortunately lead to me snacking at the cinema I wouldnt of been so bad if I didnt eat a lovely chocolate bar from M&S which I totally read the calories wrong But hey ho, I cant change it....it was very nice though :0 I will however spend the rest of this week making up for it if I am to stay on track and reach my April challenge of losing 14lbs!! ......and my car did pass its MOT with flying colours too

I did an hour power walking today too which my legs are now starting to feel, the walk had good elevation in areas which can only be beneficial. So I think it will be tea, nice hot bath and early night tonight!! My shoulder is still very painful, it kept me awake last night so I'll be dosing myself up on my painkillers tonight and hope it eases off a bit. xxx

So easy to read calories wrong, I think sometimes they make them deliberately confusing to trick us! Hope your shoulder is improving. Is it a pulled muscle? Well done for still exercising while in pain! Have you any nice plans for Easter weekend?

Day 12

I didnt get to post yesterday as I was so busy but will post now.....but I warn you, it wasnt good ( I dont even know why I did it but I snacked on chocolate all morning....and only then, after I ate it did I add the calories up ( I was making Easter gift bags and so I bought 7 multi packs of chocolates, any that was left, I ate. I have no excuses but.....I think its hormones as I never crave sugar like this !!
