    It's a size 12 and it fits!

    I treated myself to a Ralph Lauren skirt when I got to 3 stone off, but also challenged myself by buying it in a size 12. It wasn't a cheap skirt, even in the sale with extra discount, and I looked at it for months before I bought it. I figured if I wanted it bad enough, I'd make sure I could get in it before my holidays.

    The holiday I had in mind is still 79 days away - on a whim I tried the skirt on last night - AND IT FITS!! It's not even a stretchy material - AND IT FITS!! Just the boost I needed as the last few weeks haven't seen a great deal on the scales, but have brought lots of comments from lots of people, so I figured that I must be shifting something.

    So, learning the lesson, a note to self is that losing weight isn't just about seeing the numbers drop on the scales, it's so much more besides. I started this journey on 27th September 2012 at a stretchy size 22, and less than 6 months later I can get into a 12 - and it feels amazing.

    Did I mention - IT FITS!!
    Pondering the future... how to get fitter... how to maintain... how to be a size 12 forever...

    That's fantastic, you must feel so proud of your achievement. That takes some willpower to stick to any diet for 6 months let alone this type of one!

    Well done you, I bet you look fab in your designer skirt. :-)

    I'll do more pics soon, promise! Had a funny weekend, we're going away for our first little trip "home" of this year in a months time so I got all the holiday clothes out and tried them on - not a darn thing fits - which is great in so many ways, but also a bit of a bind cause the majority of it was new last year including 3 decent swimsuits. So guess what I've been doing all day long.... suffice to say, I'm pretty much done with the camera today!

    Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
    Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off of the goal.
    We would accomplish more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
