As you may all know my motivation for this diet was my first girly holiday in July. I wasn't going to buy anything until nearer the time, but a combination of offers and lack of willpower means I've now bought 4 bikinis!! I've never worn a bikini in my puff, and now I own 5?! (including one old unworn one!). Need to do some major toning before then-weight loss has been so slow that I don't think I'll lose much more but I hope I'll manage to wear them-eeeeeek!!

U better wear them missy!! Ive been wearing them since I was about 12st!

It'll only be u that cares what u look like! Go and get a beautiful tan!

Unfortunately I'm Scottish Zoe so I start at a pale blue stage and can work my way into a normal pasty colour!! I burn so easily even with factor 60 on that I know I'll fake tan pre holiday and come back paler! Waiting for three of them to arrive from next but got a nice one in tesco and since I'll only know my pals when we're away what's the harm?! I'll just censor the facebook pics on return!! X

Would you like the list of exercises my PT gave me for abs and inner thighs?

May as well silver!! I was hoping the couch to 5 k and potentially 30 day shred might help but some specifics would be useful! I should know them but finding what works for others can help!
