I'm still here and still 16'2. I'm trying not to worry though as the last time I went to Majorca (this time last year as it happens), I was nearly 22st and a size 24. Here I am now, nearly in the 15s and a size 16/18. I'm so proud of how far I've come - I'm going to get my dissertation done (5,500 words to go!) and then relax and enjoy my holiday in two weeks' time. When I come back, I'm going to make a fresh start and plan how I'm going to get the other 4st off! I'm determined!

You'll be OK I'm sure, in Tunisia I saw people bigger than me, people with proper belly rolls even where belly is in two parts (if you know what I mean?) wearing not only one piece costumes but bikinis! I don't think anyone particularly noticed or paid any attention, apart from me! If I'm honest I sat there thinking god I wouldn't have worn that, haven't got the confidence, wish I could not care. Made me feel better about me and my tankini though!
You'll be fine when you are relaxed and on holiday, and as you said earlier, think of how far you have come. You have such great taste in clothes. Love that swimming costume, the wedding dress you want, and was trying to remember that gorgeous dress you have picked out for your graduation.

Back from my amazing holiday! I loved every minute of it!
Handed my thesis in today too so uni is done and dusted for a year until I start my PhD. Brain rest time! I'm going to spend the year using my free time for things like knitting and reading, things I haven't had a chance to do for the last 4 years!
Back to shedding the weight now. I'd love to be in the 14s by Christmas!

Great to see you back and raring to go for the next round of weight loss! You can really focus on getting down for Christmas now your thesis is in. I'm going to aim to get into the 10's for Christmas 
! It may not happen but at least if I miss my target I'll be in the low 11's, which I wouldn't be too disappointed with! Here goes!

What do you think? XABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It's gorgeous! Love it all but particularly love the vinyl table covering and the union jack canvas -- did you make that? How did you get all the little squares?
You're very talented. Is there not some competition you can enter it into? Where are you off to for your virgin voyage? Bet you'll have a fab time and all under your own steam!

Glad you like it! The canvas was just from Wilkinson's! I'm crocheting a blanket for it - just a red, white and blue never-ending Granny square. The table covering is my fave too! We have enough vinyl left to cover two of the kitchen cupboard doors and then we'll do the other two in cream vinyl so it's not overkill. We're off to the Brecon Beacons - so excited! Then we're taking it to Warwickshire for my birthday weekend at the beginning of November - Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon and bonfire/fireworks. So exciting!
Never learnt how to crochet. I can knit and sew but was just never shown how to crochet.
Hope you have a great time in Brecon. Are you taking your bikes, or will you just go walking?
Know Warwick well, I went to Warwick Uni. Love Warwick castle but it's a bit pricey now to get in. Check online or with Tescos about getting a reduced entry voucher. And you so must visit Charlotte's Tearooms in Warwick, or is it Kenilworth?

We've got a 2 for 1 voucher
Charlotte's Tearooms? Will look out for it! Just going walking this time. M's mum taught me to knit when we went back home last - I love it!

I'm here! Doing two VLCD packs plus a small meal. Haven't made much progress but still plodding on. Will find my groove again soon!
Thought of you the other day actually as M and I are moving up to Scotland as soon as he finds a job up there - I've always wanted to move up there and he now wants to as well so we're off. Not sure which part yet but he's applying for some jobs in Aberdeen and also one near John O'Groats. So exciting!!!
Knitting is going well - have knitted two cowls/scarves! Never finished anything before. Here's the one I made for myself:
Only simple but I'm proud of it! How are you doing?
