But I only ate 2 of the tacos and a few fries. Can't believe I was full and happy compared to what old me would have scoffed there.

Do your kids eat the salmon @MummyInTheNecropolis ? I might get some of that pesto one but it might have to be a sperate tea for the DC!

Today so far has been half an almond croissant and half a lemon Danish - shared both with my son in a cafe. Not eaten anything like that since starting MJ and I feel great for having let myself have a normal cafe trip without thinking I shouldn't get anything!

Bought some size 8 jeans today 😱

Size 8?! Amazing! Congratulations! What size were you before you started?

I can’t actually believe it! I was a 20/22 at 16st 12 and 5’2 tall. Am now at goal at 8st 11. Thought I was a 10 but was trying some jeans on in Tesco (over leggings as they don’t have a bloody fitting room!!) and def an 8!

Wow well done!!!!!!!!

Amazing! You must feel mind blown, so happy for you @IReallyNeedThisToWork

Fabulous progress @IReallyNeedThisToWork are you switching to maintenance now?

I'm probably similar BMI starting to you. I'm 5 foot tall and was 14-7 when I started which was a BMI of 39.8 I think. I'm now 13-5 which is BMI of 36. I'm still solidly in size 20 trousers though despite the weight loss. My goal is 9-7 (mini goal of 11-7 first) and it feels like a bloody mountain!
