Lose half a stone

I haven’t really been watching my weight since my sister’s wedding because I no longer needed to get into my bridesmaid’s dress! Of course I ate too much over christmas and I’m probably quite lucky that I’m still under 11 stone. But I bought a dress this week and can’t get into it, so that is now my target – to get into that dress!

Yay I’ve lost half a stone… unfortunately I think I’ve put on a stone since putting this on my list of things to do… meaning I actually still have a stone to go! Doh. But on the bright side, I feel thinner! And all I’ve done is cut out fatty sandwich fillings and snacking between meals, so I’m quite pleased with that.

So now it’s my mum, my dad, three of my aunts and a family friend, all trying to lose weight! We compare weight loss on a weekly basis in an attempt to motivate each other – the competition helps some of us more than others.

My dad hasn’t quite got the hang of it though, and came back from the supermarket last night with a lemon meringue pie… apparently he didn’t think it would damage the diet too much!

Obviously I ate it. Well it would be rude not to. ;-)

Well my scales are fixed and I got on them for the first time today… it wasn’t pleasant. 11 stone 3 and three quarters!!! Eek! I think I need to lose a bit more than half a stone now, but that would be a good start.

But I have got some Special K!

Erm this hasn’t gone so well in the last 6 months. I seem to have put on half a stone, could be something to do with all that nice food over Christmas. I’m going to aim to get back to ten and a half stone and then see where I can go from there…
