Lost another 2lbs. Now 14 stone 7. 7lbs to 14 stone and 8lbs to under 14 - yay! Probably 3-4 weeks of work but even if it's 1/2 stone per month, it's still going in the right direction. Mother's Day today and am going out for meal so will need to be super good for rest of week :D
 
Im frightened to go on the scales after 3 full irish breakfasts lol.
Had a lovely weekend in Dublin with our nephews and their families.

No Scandichic I'm a nurse ( work in healthcare governance for 10 years though so no patient contact). My husband teaches in our local college so we need school holidays )
