That's awesome Shanti! I could have written you opening post word for word just about.

DS turned 1 on Saturday, party on Sunday - and then on Monday I have started making sure I walk everyday. I want to get into the habit of that, then I'm going to start focussing on changing my diet (that's going to be harder).

Well done Shanti - sounds like you are well and truly on track!

Thanks ladies!!!

Willow - juice is so bad isn't it? So yummy yet so full of sugar. I ALWAYS used to have to have a glass of juice in the morning with Bfast but I am no longer going to buy it. If I'm thirsty in the morning I just have to have water.
Good on you for changing your lifestyle too!

I've bought some diet cordial and diet coke when I really feel like a sugary hit but that's all I am allowing myself and trying to be good with those too as I don't really like 'diet' things... not the best for our health. But when you have a sugar craving, they can help you to avoid that choccy bar or something!

And I can't buy ANY bad items and keep them in the cupboard otherwise I will eat them.

We have a HUGE packet of smarties in our pantry from DD's party but I haven't touched them because I am not the greatest fan of smarties anyway so thankfully! LOL!
The desire to be slimmer is too strong anyway.

Sterla - well done mate! I need to step up on the walking a bit..... every day for me would be better I think!!

My main motivation to lose this weight is because I really want to be pregnant again soon with #2!!! And I do not want to be this weight
