I finally got the courage to weigh myself to keep track of my progress and it's made me feel so *kitten*.
I have 2 stone to lose.
It sneaked up on me so fast and hit me right in the face :(

    The hardest part was getting on that scale and accepting the fact that you need to help yourself. Make a plan that includes good food choices within a controlled amount and getting in exercise. Walking is great and taking stairs when you can will help too. Just take one moment at a time and don't beat yourself up if you veer off track. Jump back on and keep pushing through.

    Good luck!

    Yeah it was hard getting on those scales. I knew I had put on about 2 stone but seeing it on the scales it hit me in the face!

    Sometimes a big wake up call is needed before we make a change. Dust yourself off and start now, aiming for a sensible loss of 1lb per week. Then in 14 weeks you could be half way there. Good luck :flowerforyou:

    Is it weird that I am excited to find someone else using stone instead of lbs or kgs? Best of luck with the weight loss, I also have (roughly) 2 stone to go. If you would like some motivation and feel up to helping motivate, please add me.
