How I did it
It made me
Wheeeeee! 
How I did it: Our "problem" was that little Morgan was born last year - all in all this kept us away from the slopes for two years, and given that he's only 10 months old now, it might have kept some parents away for longer.What we did was make use of our extended family.

This morning I weighed in at 12 stone 3 lbs, so close to my goal of 12 stone.
I managed to lose half a stone a month or two ago by dint of getting ill and losing all appetite. But I’ve managed to sustain this with jogging every other day. Tools such as the Facebook Fit-ify app have helped urge me on too.

Once I reach 12 stone, I’ll need another goal to get into my ideal BMI range!
