Default Summer 2008

Yeah Yeah I know its a long way off, we’ve only just finished this summer but because of the lovely British weather this year, I'm off to sunnier climates next year.

I've booked a holiday for May next year, going with husband’s family and NO kids so I want to be able to at least wear a pair of shorts that I can fasten, button and zip, not elastic.

Hopefully I'll be wearing smaller lighter clothes which will leave more room in the case for duty free and presents for the kids.

Fingers crossed x

Diane

I've also booked for me and hubby to go away without kids next May. We're going to New York, where are you going? We are going to Orlando in 8 weeks time (includes the kids this time). I've lost 35lb in the last 4 months and am hoping to lose another 12-15lb before then to get me into holiday clothes I wore 5 years ago!

Its a long road but we can do it!

Yes Scottish Diane - where are you off to (I am nosey, me).

I really thought back in March that I would have done it for August (lost weight that is) but nope - instead I gained. I can blame this on the unsettled atmosphere at work and the worry but no one put an eclair to my mouth, did they???!

I am back on a diet and try to keep up with Knightbabe's 1 lb a week until Christmas but also hope to see a lot less of me (and you two!) by the time your 2008 holidays are due!!!

Hi Guys

I'm of to Benidorm (Costa Blanca) for a week. Were flying out to meet hubbys parents, brother and sister who are going for 2 weeks. Were surprising them the second week. We both bought dressing up outfits for the occasion as they have been asking us for years to go on holiday with then but because of the kids ages we never managed it. Now the 2 oldest are old enough to look after the youngest and with help from other family members were off for a good time.

As its our first time on holiday as a couple I may even buy a new outfit to surprise him even though we’ve been married 17 years.

I'm aiming for 1lb a week, but after today it’s more likely to be + 1lb a week. (Had a really bad day in the office). Dam that biggest box of chocolates in the office ever!

We won't be going away until October 2008, unless we can sneak an extra holiday in some where. We will be celebrating 10 years together in October 2008 so are planning a special holiday. Mauritus, Barbados or Jamaica. Hoping to be a lot lighter by then.

That bikinis still hanging up waiting for me to fit into it. I nearly tried it on last night but fought temptation as I would have been disheartened if it didn't fit (which it won't yet).

I've started going back to the gym this week but worried that with all the exercise I might start gaining a bit of weight

Any advice?
