Thanks autumn and upndown for your lovely words - I do try to be a great mum (I had a terrible childhood so want my own girls to be happy and secure which they def are ) yes it's so important not to have a negative attitude around food and kids - girls are SO impressionable. We never mention diets around them. The words fat and ugly are just absolute no go words in our home. Luckily the 3 of them are very healthy and may it continue !
I think we def should have a Valentines contingency !! I just tried on dresses in the shop and a 12 fitted ! I'm so happy about that ! It's a fitted pinstriped pinafore style and I love it! I have a job interview next week it's for that. X

I'm even more impressed now u've shared ur childhood experience - so pleased about ur interview outfit too - get you size 12 - u'll be oozing confidence and sock it to them!!

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Another 3lb off for me, I am so pleased, that's 20lbs in total so far this year
Well done to all the losers!!x

thats true about them being impressionable-i thought it was just girls that we had to worry about, but i remember a few years ago, my other halfs nephew wouldn't eat very much and wouldn't even wear a coat because he thought it made him look fat-he was 5 or 6 at the time. So sad-my other halfs family would be quite big so they must have been talking about it a lot and not thinking he would be taking it on board.

edited to add-congrats on the dress! love when things like that happen, its great! i have two pairs of jeans in particular in my wardrobe that i always try to get into-theres loads that dont fit, but i bought these two pairs in 2005 when i first started weighwatchers-both size eight-one pair i got to fit me for about a year, and the other pair fitted me for a few weeks-have to get back into them!

Wow - I can only dream about size 8! But it's great to have a goal! I have loads of 10s and 12s in store begging to get out!!

 

[CatA]

Snap!

I could never be a size 8, I'm naturally busty, and the ******* seem to grow in cup size whenever I diet! lol

I have a few bin bags full of size 10/12 stuff from when I lost all the weight years bag waiting for me in the loft. Really want to get it out again. Have got all my size 14 I had stored out now though as other than a few pairs of slightly tighter trousers I can get in it all again..woohoo! Was in 18's last year!

 

[newme763]

Poor little lad autumn ! Sad :-(
Size 8, wow ! Think my naked skeleton wouldn't even fit an 8!!

 

[newme763]

CatA that's amazing you have shrunk from an 18 to 14 since last year ! You must be feeling great !!

 

[CatA]

Yup! Was scary when I had to buy 18's as biggest I had ever been before then was a 16. It's what prompted me to diet.

Oddly enough I haven't quite lost 2st yet so not sure why dress size went down so fast lol

Just wish the damn chest would follow suit instead of seemingly growing each time I lose weight. Creates a right shopping nightmare lol

 

[Autumn500]

To be honest I didn't feel like an eight. At my biggest I was a sixteen/eighteen and naively thought that if I was a size ten I'd have the great body with flat stomach etc, but no, it doesn't work like that lol. I have lots of size eight and ten jeans that don't fit me at the minute, I'm using the same four pairs of trousers that are big tens/normal 12s. I always vowed I'd never buy a size bigger again but I had to. It's lovely when you lose weight and get to try on the clothes that were too small that now fit, it's like free shopping lol

Haha I wish my boobs grew when I dieted! It's the first place I lose from and I def can't afford to be losing anymore lol. Amazing for you to be going from an eighteen to a fourteen, must be such a boost for you!

Isn't it horrible when you have to give in and get a bigger size? It's def a wake up call. I remember when I first started dieting I thought it was just the shop I was in was running smaller sizes, but no, I was just in denial about the weight I'd put on lol.

Shopping is just a nightmare because shops don't realise people of the same size can be totally different shapes. My waist is quite narrow but I'm very hippy and have got chunky calves so jeans can be a nightmare to buy!

100% agree - I'm a definite pear shape - and sometimes have to sew a pleat on the back seam going from waistband to hip on jeans/trousers - cos even when I'm wearing the tightest belt they'd fall down - & can't wear a smaller size cos my bum's to big!! Hoping it'll be easier to find jeans to fit when I'm at target (whenever that may be!)

Oooo it's bloody annoying isn't it!

Have you an idea of when you'd like to be at target or are you just going with the flow?

 

[CatA]

I have same issue. My waist can fit a size smaller than my bum and thigh's...pain in the bum.

I think I may be more of an hourglass though as GG's up top apparently balance out the hips lol

 

[*joanne*]

I am a hourglass hate the size of my thigh's and my boobs at the moment are so big make running hard. I never seem to loss weight from my boobs first always the last to go.

I've hovered around 10st 13 for ages - then went on a hol quickly foll by Christmas 2013 and went over 12st - so no idea what size I'll be at target or even if 9st 13 shd be my target - just getting slimmer wd be good!
