Thread: ChrisR dukan journey

Sounds like you're in good hands

Have a fun day choosing all those new clothes for your lovely new figure!
It is exciting but scary too - I still can't quite believe I'm so much slimmer. I will keep buying baggy tops or a bigger size on top than I really need 'for movement' ! yeah right - like I'm going skiing in my work suit.... Daft really!

Hope you find some stuff you like and daughter too!

Todays the day Chris, have an amazing time, you deserve it. Can't wait to hear that there is serious damage to the bank account and that you have a huge new wardrobe of skinny divine clothes. ENJOY!!!xxxx

hope you have a fabulous day shopping for your new slim figure

What did you buy, what did you buy?!? x

Absolutely nothing A bit disappointed but still had a lovely day, a nice lunch too. Just did not see anything I wanted. Hardly any long trousers about either. I think I'm between a 12 and 14 some pants I tried on in 14 were too big. Now Im in a pickle because should I lose another half a stone to get me in a 12s. Oh my I don't know.............. very complicated

Anyway I have decided to wait a few more weeks then more summer clothes will be around.

I'm a "size 13" too :-/ that's a shame but the weather is so up & down lately that waiting a little bit longer is probably a good idea anyway. We were all so excited for you today! What did you have for lunch? x

We went to Tampopo an East Asian restaurant - I had Bo Luc Lac Beef & small salad - it was a tad spicy but good. Wont be completely dukan friendly but almost. My daughter had Chicken Katso Curry. Im shattered now and freezing only warm place is bed I think - getting fed up of always being cold to the bone

almost bought a tan leather handbag £70 from Debenhams but its clothes that fit that I need but if I cant find anything then I will be buying it. It wasnt a wasted day as I spent the day with my beautiful daughter & best friend all rolled into one

Ahhhhh glad you had a good day but a tad disappointed you didn't find lots of lovely clothes. As you say probably best to go in a few weeks again............. Mind you isn't it always the way that when you go looking you don't find anything and when your just having a quick browse that you come back with loads including the kitchen sink!! Lunch sounded divine and pretty Dukan friendly and as you say, the company of your daughter made it the perfect day regardless!! Nice, v nice indeed! Have a great weekend Chris - Mr R around for a nice walk - weather is perfect for wrapping up and taking a brisk hike!!! x

Some shopping days are like that - with me it's usually I want to buy everything in the shop or else I can't get excited about anything/nothing fits/looks right. Feast or famine!

Never mind another day and given the price of good stuff, best to chose when you are in conso stable state ( says she, who kept falling even in conso for a bit!) but I did go through 3 pairs of grey work suit trousers from m&s - one in 18, one in 16 and finally one in 14 before it settled. Well the safety pin was doing overtime, lol!

Im sorted for work although my new next 14s trousers x 2 are now big on me around the rear end. I bought some Next linen pants in 14s for summer but I think they are going to be too big - linen gives when worn so ......... dont know what to do really, I dont want to risk looking like Victor Meldrew's Turtle!!! My daughter laughs at me when I mention it too her. She said if I want to lose another 9lb then I should go for it. I did the true weight thingy again and it came up with 11st 4lb so perhaps I should try for it. HELP!

Hope it deoesnt snow too much really want to see my friend tomorrow fingers crossed it wont be too bad.

Thank you Trudy I will keep looking I've still got the money so .............. Ive had better luck on ebay.
I went to Manchester thinking I would see a range of different clothes than in my home town but it was all exactly the same. Yeh some lovely clothes in Selfridges and John Lewis but not in my price league. Another problem I'm finding is I need to replace so many clothes I dont want to spend a fortune on one item. Even though I havent much choice hanging in my wardrobe now I cannot wait to get summer stuff out thats stored in the loft and see how big they are for me. My friends at work and Ebay fans are going to be happy.
Wonder when I should put them on Ebay a tad too cold for linen!

A walk will be lovely with MrR

Keep warm my friends x

Forgot to say - on a positive note I did go in changing rooms and try clothes on without getting all hot and bothered and upset (been known to cry in a Next changing room) so not all bad - my daughter said she was proud of me - ah x

That's an achievement in itself, lol I never try clothes on on shops I like primark for everyday stuff, get loads for your money then can afford to buy a couple of nicer items
