Well i've just booked a holiday today for me, Ray, the kids and my mam and dad and i'm really looking forward to it.
Just going to Berwick in a caravan but we like it there and the kids never want to come home so we can't wait.
So we have seven weeks before we go and i'm going to get atleast 7lb gone before we go.
Am trying to think what size i was last summer and what clothes i was wearing. Infact i think i was about what i am now and will still have the clothes hanging in my wardrobe.
I'm determined to have dropped from a 20 into size 18 so i can go buy new clothes and just enjoy myself.
I can't remember the last holiday i went on where i actully felt comfortable, i always just try and hide away and i think that at my age i shouldn't be doing that.
Hopefully them holidays are in the past and i can start standing out now.

Hello
Well i think it's time i gave myself a right good kick up the arse and i guess if i blog my weight loss journey it may just help me.
So I'll tell you a little about me.
My name's Mandy and I'm 28. I live with my hubby Ray, my 5 year old twins, Jack and Abigail and my step son Jed who's 12. Oh and Perseus our cat who is 2 years old ;o)
I'm a qualified Nail Technician and Beauty & Massage Therapist and work part time as a mobile therapist.
I like spending time at home to help look after Ray.
Ray broke his back in the Army and i like to be the one who helps him when he's having a bad time. This can be very draining as it's hard seeing someone you love in so much pain and i guess i find myself comfort eating instead of finding other ways to deal with my feelings.
I have always been fat and in 1999 i went from 16 stone to 11 stone 7 pounds. No diet, it just dropped off me.
I felt good for once and i never wanted to put it back on but in 2002 i fell pregnant.
I was really good throughout the pregnancy, ate really well and was size 16 then in March 2003 i gave birth to Jack and Abigail, 3 months premature!
With the stress of it all and the fact that i lived in hospital for 8 weeks the weight started to creep back on. Before i knew it i was the heaviest i had ever been at 16 stone 3 pound.
In 2005 me and Ray went to Barcelona for a weekend to visit friends and i just remember feeling so fat and i made my mind up then that it was all going to change when i got home. The week we got back i joined my local weight watchers and i managed to loose just under 2 stone.
I was feeling good about myself and wanted to do more for myself. I decided to go back to college and do something for me.
Unfortunately this was my downfall. College was my weight watchers night and i thought i would go to college and just continue my healthy eating without class. Yeah right!
So September 2007 comes round and I've had it. Need to get my life sorted and that means sorting my weight.
Back to weigh watchers i go. OMG 16 stone 8 pound!
So here i am, 7.5lb down and lots more to go. I'm really finding it hard this time round but I'm not going to give up.
Going to get as much support as i can this time and have even got myself some "buddies" which is something i have never had before.
Anyway here's to a good week!
