More Weight Loss

1lb of fat - I have discovered is quite big!

I weighed my (almost) 3 year old son the other day and he weighed 2.5 stones (35lbs) - In the last 6 months, I have lost 39lbs - which is more than my toddler weighs...

Crikey!

When I have lost another 12lbs - I will have lost the equivalent of my 6 year old daughter.

I'm still amazed that this diet I am on allows me to eat fantastic food in unlimited quantities!
