you are AMAZING!!!!

may i ask what diet you've been on?....i think you're going to be my inspiration...

 

[jen_uk]

You really are an inspiration to us all! Whenever I think about how much weight I want to lose it seems impossible but you show that it really is possible! As someone else said I would love to see before and after photos.
Wll done again!

Weight Watchers Points System is the one I follow.

Weight Watchers Points System is the one I follow.

that one seems to really work....lots of neighbors have done well on it..

it's too close to calorie counting for me, so i haven't bothered...as it is i can't eat more than about 800 calories a day without gaining weight....so losing would be next to impossible....it's not really possible to eat less than 800 calories a day (and that's with running 5 miles a day)....i'll have to buy myself a new thyroid first...and get rid of my huge fibroid enlarged uterus....not in the cards....i'm 'only' about 40 pounds overweight, but that's where it's going to stay.....i guess in my next life i'll be svelte...

My first pair of skinny jeans. They are a size 8 and I am so excited. Never thought I could ever wear anything as small as them. Think I will need to lose a little more weight, so that I can eat when I have them on.

Just wanted to share this with you all.

WHOO HOO! man i know how that feels (well, i'm a size 10-12... lol so i don't know how size 8 feels but ykwim!)

it's so wierd... i pick up clothes in a store and i'm like... "nah, that won't fit ME!" or "size 10??? i don't understand...." lol...

You've done so well!!

oh, and the not being able to eat thing... i know that feeling too! lol... i have one pair of skinny jeans and i have to wriggle into them, jump up and down a bit and generally dance around to make them stretch a bit so i can sit down! but they look good

 

[urglewurgle]

here's a question for you Florence.... how much money have you spent on clothes?!?! lol...

it used to be that i bought new trousers when they wore out between the thighs... and when i went shopping i could only go in certain shops, and only buy clothes that covered this bulge and that lump kwim? now i've run out of money after about 30 minutes shopping! lol... i could buy stuff all the time... the only problem is i buy something and 6 weeks later it's too big, and i've only worn it twice! argh! thank god for Primark and George @ Asda! lol...

I do that too.

You have done so well yourself Becks.

 

[Minniespal]

here's a question for you Florence.... how much money have you spent on clothes?!?! lol...

Lots and lots

When I first started on the diet I would buy from George, Tesco, TK Maxx and Primark because I was not getting much wear out of them before they were too big for me.

Now I buy from places like Miss Selfridges, New Look and I get my designer stuff from Ebay.

 

[urglewurgle]

whoo hoo! designer stuff! dontcha just love it?!? lol...

 

[Minniespal]
