I am starting this thread to take up from the 10 stone one. That thread has given me a lot of strength and hope and I would like to continue that dialogue but thought it might need freshening up. Champs speak to me! Hows it going and how many new food types can you alert me to?
Any more takers for the long haul speak now!

I can't wait until I can buy all those lovely clothes

My size 18 jeans are getting huge on me (but they were GENEROUS 18s!). I used to fit into 20s and now they are all too big for me, its such a buzz isn't it

I love cookies too Champs, and MISS THEM!
I bought loads of salady stuff today to keep me healthy! I am going on holiday in 2 weeks so i want to loose some more weight for that.

Hello Champs cant sleep a luxury reserved for full time workers and mums about to go to Paris with dh on their own and very excited! Am off today and so detox will stay in England. TBH havent really followed it for about a week now. Still no coffee and less alcohol just the odd glass! Have had a few break downs on the chocolate front this week though think it is PMT as this always send me into a feeding frenzy. Anyway will obviously have to sample the odd piece of brie and stuff in Paris whilst away but will try to be good (not)! Hope you are ok lots of love and glittery au revoir

Am going to measure myself this week as have been allowed to join slimming group with measurements once a month! THis may inspire me to be better dieter. Your task for the week is to be nice to yourself mate! You are breastfeeding and have a young baby it is no wonder that you are hungry. I really admire the fact that you are doing anything at all as this mother simply ate her way through the baby bubble! So even opne day is good champs really and this is a marathon not a sprint we are bound to have bad days and weeks and if you are anything like me I am the hardest person on my own performance whilst those around think I am doing well. Ok Enough soap box but its be nice to Champs week will start a thread if you dont behave and give yourself a break!
