Changes so far

[Guru]

Right. I need a kick up the bum to stick to CD I'm sure a few other people feel the same and are struggling. So, what changes has losing the weight made to your life so far? Think how far you've already come!

- I've dropped 2 dress sizes and got into a pair of jeans that I couldn't get over my bum when I started!

- I've had to start wearing my engagement and wedding rings on a chain round my neck because they fall off my fingers

- I've cleaned out my wardrobe and given away all my fat clothes - so there is no way I can go back. I have hardly any clothes and it feels GREAT

- I am going on holiday in May and for the first time EVER I am not worried about whether or not I will be able to do up the seatbelt on the plane


Over to you!

- I've cleaned out my wardrobe and given away all my fat clothes - so there is no way I can go back. I have hardly any clothes and it feels GREAT

I did that too, I kept one pair of fat jeans, which I try on when I'm feeling down and it reminds me how far I've come!! There's no way I was going to spend money on buying bigger clothes so When everything started to get a bit too tight, I had to take action, so I'm back on CD getting back the body!

and i apparently come accross as a happier person ( thou to be honest i dont feel happier ) and i seem more at ease when interacting with people

I have dropped 4 sizes ( was a 24 .. 16 now !!) , I feel more confident and look sooo much better .. I put on make up most days when I never bothered before .. and got my hair cut last week for the first time in 3 yrs !!! I can run around after the kids much more and am 'happier' ...'in bed '
I am the lightest I have been since I was about 15 ( now 32 ) and I feel great .. although as I am so focused on my weight .. what I look like etc I seem to have more 'fat' days than I did when I was 18 stone 8 !!!!! But sure that will go wehen I get to goal

I can fit into a pair of jeans that my mil gave me 6 yrs ago when I was 18 and had just got with my boyf! (I am a real horder!!) And now they are starting to feel big! I can also fit into a size 12 (almost) which I havent been able to do since I feel pregnant 5 yrs ago!! My work clothes are like a tent on me! Great feeling!! xx

Way to go girls!!!!! You all have lovely inspiring stories

Determinator, I too have FAR more fat days now than ever before how mad is that?

Main changes for me: can shop absolutely anywhere now
Can run and run without getting breathless ( major joy! )
People calling me tiny/little and my fave so far 'so dinky' LOL

The best

Kept on discovering strange bones that had lain hidden for years
wedding rings now jangle
vegetables sometimes taste too sweet (currently addicted to parsnips)
I look good in a tankini
I can cross my legs under my desk now
Gone from a size 18-20 to a 10-12 in jeans!!

Ooo yes I can cross my legs now! And I can get out of the bath without struggling.

I am looking forward to dropping another couple of dress sizes down to a 16 so that I can go in any shop and buy off the rail!

the one I keep looking at is I have gaps between my fingers, when my hands is closed! strange hey!! xx

I love the changes losing weight has made to my life. I have dropped 7 dress sizes from a size 28 to a size 12/14, I feel physicly fit -running, cycling no probs and not out of breath anymore, clothes shopping is a joy and not a chore and I can go anywhere for them, I can cross my legs, fit in the bath and I can fit into normal spaces like a plane seat etc. Best of all is knowing that I have must have given myself at least another 10 years and I will be around longer for my family. I feel fab and absolutley love being slim and feel so much younger. I will stop drivilling now lol xx.
