It's Monday and the end of 3 weeks dieting so here is my weekly update...

Start weight - 21 stone 5 pounds

Week one - 20 stone 11 pounds - 8 pounds loss
Week two - 20 stone 7 pounds - 12 pounds loss
Week three - 20 stone 1 pound - 18 pounds loss

18 pounds in 3 weeks is super progress but ultimately unsustainable so I am reviewing my calorie intake and ajusting it to ensure that I hit a minimum of 1000 calories a day otherwise, I may go into 'starvation mode'!

I also know that while my weight loss may slow down sonewhat, losing 8-10 pounds per month will mean that I hit my first goal of 18 stone by summer time (or before maybe???) Here are my goals and the reasons for them...

1. 18 stone - this is the weight I was when I met my second husband and although heavy, I did look much better because I am tall, I could just about get by at 18 stone confidence wise.

2. 16 stone - I have not been 16 stone since I was 20 years old - before the children and after the age of 20, I just piled it on and remained at 20 stone for many years. The extra stone and a half I have to lose came with my last baby just 4 months ago so I am now at my pre baby weight of 20 stone and 1 pound!! Wow!!

3. 12 stone - I was 12 stone at the end of school...'nuff said xx
