Hello everyone - just started RTM straight into week two. Made my fat-free dips so that I can have a picnic in the sun tomorrow with friends and actually eat. very strange to think about eating normal food, so weird to think that 6 months ago i was 13 stone 5 and completely depressed. now i am 8 stone 9 sitting in a pair of size 8 shorts completely excited about the prospect of summer. i have spen...

So it was quite warm today and for the first time in about 25 years I am happy that it is summer asi will be able to wear some decent clothes. I am usually stressing about summer with an inability to wear any nice clothes due to fatness. well, dear readers, today i stepped out of the house in confidence and cannot wait until summer finally hits. Thank god for lighter life!

Well I'm steadily getting near my target of 9 stone (10 lbs to go) knowing that I might put on 7 lbs in RTM. Going to Scotland at Easter and will be exciting to show off my new size 8-10 body - I've been shopping like a maniac for the big 'reveal'...! Skinny jeans - check. High heels - check. Amazing glow and new lease of life check check check.

On a separate note I have been getting quite a lot of...

Another 4 lbs lost at WI today so am very happy. Writing lots of thought records which I find very helpful. My foundation class has finished and I am moving into a developers class next Saturday. Went shopping as none of clothes fit (still wearing size 16's with a belt) and I am now officially a size 10! It's so amazing I can't quite take it in... hope all is well out there!

Hoorah - 3 trips to the gym and 1 trip to the swimming pool this week have paid off. I couldn't believe I only lost 1 lb last week but kept to it and lost 3 lbs this week thank god! I only have 1 more week to go then foundation is over but I do want to carry on and get to my target. Have been doing a lot of thinking over the last week about the end of foundation and being scared of putting all the...

Lost another 3 lbs today which I am quite pleased about and am well on target. Even more pleased because I went to H & M afterward and fitted into a size 12 of everything (I was probably about 11 years old the last time that was possible!). I actually had a little cry of happiness in the changing room. If someone told me 3 months ago I would be a size 12 I would have shouted some *** words at ...

Well I lost 7 lbs over 2 weeks and am down to my next big milestone of 11 stone and this included a weekend in Paris with my uni friends where I was very well behaved.

I saw my parents for first time since Christmas and they were really shocked at how different I look and my friends from home are all saying I look great and want to know how I am doing it. Now they are all stressed and saying they ...

Another 4 lbs so should be very happy today - if it carries on like this I will be 2 stone lighter in 2 weeks. I've been to the gym three times and swimming twice this week - it was probably too much as I felt really dizzy last night after coming out of the pool. I'm used to going to the gym but I guess now I am restricting my calories I can't do as much exercise as I used to..

Strange thing is th...

Wow it is so good to read the blogs and see what everyone's experiences are of the first few days. I started off with the banana shake but put too much water in it (doh!) and it was disgusting. I've drunk about 1.5 litres of water which is unknown for me... means I am constantly up and down to the toilet. Hope that passes... had the chilli for lunch which I thought was quite nice. Am going to have...

This is it - had my first meeting today and am starting tomorrow. My weight has been up and down for the last 5 years but has been creeping up more and more over the last year and am now almost the weight I was when I originally decided to lose loads of weight and swore I would never be that fat again Having a 'farewell to food' day today..
