My biggest daughter is just 4, I have the c section overhang too! It has to shrink, it just has to! I managed to get off all the antidepressants and sleeping tablets etc, I'm just on one small dose of an anti anxiety medication which I take at night to help me sleep. I wish I could get off it but I can't, it's psychological I'm sure, a mental addiction rather than a physical one, but I take it and I sleep and that is far better than being manic and psychotic and not sleeping.
My scales haven't budged since yesterday either, they will though, stick with it!

How on earth did you get rid of it kitty? I'm convinced mine is here to stay although I'm not entirely bothered by it. I'm never going to be wearing a bikini again. If I ever won the lottery and I'm definitely decided that my family is complete (we can't decide if it is or not) then I would def have a tummy tuck and a boob lift (not implants just pull em up a bit haha).
0.5lbs off today. I'm 16st 3.75lbs today. Very very happy with that!!!

Congrats paesh, that is awesome! I have another lo, aged nearly 2, so we are definite that our family is complete. I'd love a boob reduction - that'd be a good way to lose a few lbs!!

I have 1 dd too Paesh, she is 11 now. I sometimes wish I had more children, but I like our close little family and you can do things together very easily. Don't worry you will be buying new clothes very soon.x

That's the thing lilac. We work so well as a family of 3 and we're utterly devoted to each other. It's hard to see how another little paeshlet would fit into our lives now.
I had an inexplicable weight gain this morning! Let's see what the scale being tomorrow.

16st 4lbs today official weigh in so 2lbs lost this week.
I'd gained 0.75lbs yday so I've lost 0.5 of that. How odd!
I've got 11lbs to lose for the challenge. I'm not sure I'm going to manage it.

I don't know ginger because I don't have an actual start weight. But from working it out I was probably something like 18st 2/3/4lbs when I started.
I'm 16st 3.25lbs this morning so I won't say I have officially lost 2st until I hit 16st 1.75lbs I think.

Thanks meme Feel a bit down today about the fact I still have 6-6.5 stones to lose in total. It's silly really so what, I'm going to do it so no point getting down about it. I need to just focus on the mini goals. Next mini goal is under the 16s. Next one is straight after that 15st 9lbs when I'm under 100kg Next one is under the 15s Next one is straight after that at 14st 8lbs. The weight I was when I started my VLCD all those years ago. Then it will be 14st 2lbs when I'm under 200lbs Then it will be the usual under the stone, under the half stone until 12st 4lbs when I am no longer obese. Then it will be 11st. The weight I was when I got married. Then it will be 10st 9lbs when I'm no longer overweight. Then 10st 6lbs, the weight I got down to on CD Then 10st Then 9st 7lbs. My next mini goal is close I need to just keep thinking of that.

Your mini goals are good, keep focusing on them. I've nearly 10 stones to banish. A little quote that helps me.......
don't ever put off starting something because of the time it will take. The time will pass anyway

My next mini goal is to get into the 10s as I will be very happy to be in that next stone bracket and my bmi will move from obese to overweight. That's 8.8lb to lose for me.
