Pete and I are planing our holidays for this April, I can't wait to go and visit my family in Australia. So how much weight can i loss by then? I am looking forward to the plane ride being more comfy, and not to have to cover up with a jacket. Oh and the beach.

I'm sure you'll have had a hefty weight loss in 7 months... but whatever it is, it'll make your plane ride significantly more comfortable!

You've already lost 24 lbs so in 7 months you should lose quite a few more - depends on how determined you are. Add exercise and lots of fluids and it will fall off. It's all a matter of choices and quality over quantity. Any amount lost will be a bonus for your trip.

Remember to celebrate the NSV (non scale victories) too. They are just as important as the numbers on the scale.

Good luck and let us know how you're feeling.
