Shannon...wow congratulations that's fantastic . I bet you felt really good for it too. I would love to follow in your foot steps & yes i too plan on taking my food with me if i should be out and about at a meal time. I am 100% commited nothing is going to get in my way....not even christmas!!!!

Gracie...thanks for your kind words and yes i will keep you all informed as to my progress.

Kellie......you are so right it's not a nice feeling at all, the sooner those feelings disappear the better. Congratulations on your 9kg loss that's fabulous. I know what your saying about being extra vigilant when the time comes to stop the lite'n'easy, i'm planning to slowly decrease the amount of lite'n'easy meals ...i will start the full seven day programme then when i have got to a certain point i will have seven days but maybe only lunch and tea from lite'n'easy and so on until i get down to one meal a day...ykwim!!!

Erin....glad to hear the aqua areobics classes are fun, i dont expect it to be easy but i guess after a while as our fitness improves it will become easier.
New clothes sounds wonderful but that's half the problem...it doesn't matter what i wear i never feel good or look good in.

Thanks everyone for your support it really means a lot to me.
