...A rude awakening

So, my clothes were getting tighter, I struggled to find outfits that suited me, I felt frumpy and lumpy! But unfortunately, I blamed everybody except myself - the shops for making skinny clothes, the washing machine for shrinking my current clothes etc etc...Then I weighed myself to find I'm pushing 15 stone!! Needless to say, I can't blame anybody else :-)

    OK, this may be a stupid question, but, how many pounds are in a stone? I always forget. San Diego gal. :smile:

    Just decide to be healthy and stick with it, my pants that I was muffin topping over a month ago are now loose. I haven't starved myself or denied myself anything-I've just made a conscious effort to change for the better.
