Well as requested I'm putting a photo of Ryan on this blog (before and after photo). He has now lost a total of 40kg's and is going to start his refeeding this coming Monday.

This photo was taken two weeks ago (It's not the best of photos and I'm going to take another one of him soon and I will post it when I get a chance)! The transformation is amazing I think!As soon as I'm at my goal weight I will post before and after photos of myself! A couple of days ago I went through all my clothes that are tooooo big for me and have now got 4 garbage bags of clothes which I'm giving to Lighthouse Ministries (The new Rockingham Church initiative)! I've kept 1 pair of jeans and a top to remind me of how big I was. In another couple of months I'll be able to give more clothes away as I loose more weight!
Last week Thursday myself and Ryan went on a shopping spree to buy new clothes for Ryan - I wish female clothes were that cheap - It did help that everyone is having there end of financial year sales on at the moment - managed to get him 4 new pairs of jeans and 2 jumpers and about 8 new shirts and jackets etc for about $300. Also bought him a new Sunday outfit for Church. I'll post some photos of him soon looking all spunky in his new clothes (lol that's if he will let me take photos)! He is not the most fashion conscious kind of guy and I think he has to get used to actually wearing clothes that are a bit in fashion - he is the tracky and flannel kind of guy - which I don't mind around the house but when we go out I like him to be a little bit more dressed up.
Well I've been attempting to make some cards lately but not having much luck.

This card here - I got the idea off splitcoast stampers!

I loved the idea that Makeesha had on her website for these chocolate pouches - so I decided to try one for myself - they are such a great gift idea and I've made a couple more as well.

Another attempt at a card (I love my Garden Whimsy Stamp Set - especially the tulips - seeing they are my most favourite flower).
Well the weekend was very busy as I said in my last blog. We had my brother's engagement party which was an awesome party now just looking forward to the wedding. I'll post some photo's soon - as soon as Sue-ellen sends me some. Des and Sonya left and arrived safely in Canada - so I hope they have an awesome time over there.
Well that's it from me over here - hopefully I'll find some more time soon to blog again.
Cheerio xx

Great update Erica. Ryan sure looks a shadow of his former self. He too must look back and think, "is that really me?" I'm sure it must be so rewarding when you come so far. Keep it up and hope the refeeding program goes well too. Your making some lovely cards, keep it up. I think you need some of this 'me' time as you've been so busy. Slow down a bit otherwise you'll burn out. Working full time and keeping house is more than enough on your plate. Look forward to hearing more soon.
wow
love the middle card!
thanks for allowing me to check out your blo.g i hope you have time to create some cards soon :)
