I am relieved to have STS this week. It's been so difficult with the girls off, and there being lots of Jelly Tot cakes, choccie fingers and Pringles lying around. I hoping to be back on track once the little darlings are back at school/college

well done Mandy !

Janet, with all your running it's going to be muscle that's sending the scales up! The real positive is that you're losing inches off your body - that's what we all want after all...

thats so true

Brilliant, Nicola!!! Not far to go now...

yes well done Nicola


Lost 1lb this week - slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y... No, I'm pleased really - every pound lost takes me down to a weight I haven't been for many years and I'm even closer to dropping a jean size - can zip 'em up now... 5lbs to go to reach my target...

only 5lbs thats the same as me ! well done Karen x

It's a good feeling, isn't it Nat..? My main objective is to drop the dress size so I hope the 5lbs does the trick... Forgot to say, I can't wait to go shopping for some new clothes...

Im hoping to drop a dress size and a half

Morning!

Talking of dress sizes, I would like to be a size 12 (in my dreams I'd like to be size 10 ) I'm 5ft 4" does anyone know what weight I need to be to fit into a 12 I know it can vary with body shape etc.
Thanks.

 

[natalielongstaff]

Gaynor im 5"3 and currently 10st7lbs and im hovering between a 12 and a 14 so i think if i get down to 10st2lbs then the size 12 should fit comfortably ( i am cursed with a big bum and hips though )

Hth

Good luck (not that you'll need it - you're doing so well...)

Is there anything you're going to treat yourself to when you get to your target???

Actually that's not a bad question for everyone...

That sounds about right, Nat. I'm 5'2" and a size 12 is around 10 stone for me - tho' I'm the opposite and bigger on top than bottom...

We are never satisfied with what weve got tho

Ive treated myself to a WDW holiday and cruise karen, thats my ultimate goal

Well done Mandy and Karen

I am hoping to persuade Nat to have a holiday clothes shopping day when I finally manage to lose the extra weight. Although Nat will be at target well before me, I am hoping the thought of shopping for holiday clothes will persuade her to stay there

 

[Gaynor]

Thanks Nat think I will leave it before I go and try a size 12 don't want to get dissallusioned.

Forget to mention I've lost another 2lbs I've now lost 1st 0.5lb .

Some good losses again this week, for those who have stayed the same or put on a little keep going

Good luck this week

Course not - hence this thread!!! I'm always trying to work out a way I can get more of a chin and extend my short, fat neck!!!

...Ive treated myself to a WDW holiday and cruise karen, thats my ultimate goal

And it doesn't get much better than that, Nat... And it'll be so fab being able to indulge without feeling guilty... I've got so many ADRs for April as I figured it would be OK...

...I am hoping to persuade Nat to have a holiday clothes shopping day when I finally manage to lose the extra weight. Although Nat will be at target well before me, I am hoping the thought of shopping for holiday clothes will persuade her to stay there

And what a good friend you are Joh, keeping Nat motivated like that...

The thought of shopping for clothes is what I'm focused on too!!! Trouble is I'm too mean to buy anything in the interim so I'm just continuing to wear all my horrid old tat!!! Oh no wait, I DID buy a top for £6 from Mark 1 a couple of months ago...

I'd love a pair of expensive designer jeans - no idea if they're any better than my standard ones from the Gap BUT I'd like to find out...

I'm 5'4" and currently 10st 2lbs, for me to be a comfortable size 12, I need to get down to 9st 12lbs, it doesn't help that I'm bigger on the top than on the bottom Good Luck getting to your goal Gaynor

Good luck (not that you'll need it - you're doing so well...)

I don't want to get a treat, but just knowing that my clothes will feel fab on the Disney Wonder will be reward enough for me

Well done Mandy and Karen
