Brilliant! Clothes are SUCH a motivation! And with spring round the corner... you might get the chance to show off your new shape in new clothes!

thanks guys. we've a wedding next weekend, so it will be nice to be at that feeling slinky. looking back now I'm amazed on how far I've come in such a short space of time. If someone had told me in November that I'd be where I am now I would never have believed it. You're right Anja, it's a huge motivation - dDefinitely going through some old clothes tomorrow and making a pile of stuff that I'm too skinny for now!

Fantastic re the 12s! I bought some size 14 jeans yesterday which I am dead chuffed with too - I am now wearing clothes in 4 different sizes - 14 - 20!!! (Although I am convinced the size 20 trousers are shrinking in the tumble drier - they must be if I can wear size 14 jeans!!) Are you going to post a picture of your wedding outfit? How lovely to maybe see people you haven't seen for a while and get lots of compliments!

How wonderful, Em and Mouse, to fit into a smaller size! I really love that feeling.

Definitely agree with Mouse, we'd love to see your wedding oufit, Em.

I have rediscovered the delights of french mustard! It was always my favourite when I was younger but I think I must have forgotten about it, but I'm so glad I've rediscovered it - it's lush. I'm tempted at the moment to slather it on just about everything

L: half chicken frittata
S: quarter galette, 3 slices roast beef with french mustard
D: ginger chilli lime chicken (1 breast), sf jelly

"Skinny" is lovely to hear... ("gaunt" is not, so keep an eye on the old face... those of us at a certain age have to watch the balance between a flatter tum and an older face... not you though Emma I'm sure!)
