I got a countdown too and have been looking at dresses, but not seen anything I like. Spent too many Christmases in dresses that hide me away! And wearing Spanx!! Having a chill day today so will carry on looking. I like the myleen klass dress in littlewoods advert but not sure about the colour on me :/
Ooh will have to look out for that Myleene Klass one, remember seeing a few nice dresses in the advert! Had a big clear-out at the weekend (3 huge bags of huge clothes gone to Cancer Research!
) and found 2 dresses I bought in the summer to slim into which are both gorrrgeous, so I have them ready and hanging to get into! Just made a pact with a friend who's also trying her best for the xmas do that if she can get to a size 16 she can come and take her pic from my posh party dresses for the do before I stick the remainder on ebay
So we both have motivation to get there!
Loving this thread, so nice to read about others success! I really am determined to get in a size 10 dress by the Christmas do also, last year I was in a size 18-20, so it means a lot!! Currently a size 12 and really could do with some support to get to the final target
BECKS xxxx
Wow that's an amazing achievement, well done you!! I'm really struggling to get past size 12 at the moment, I keep sabotaging myself! So any encouragement very welcome, and I promise to give the same back!

Glad to see you're over your cold Mrs! I wish I could say the same!
Mmmm roasted butternut squash.. Thanks for a new idea for this months food plan!

I've still not cooked it haha... went totally off the rails (AGAAAAAIN!!) at the weekend so didn't end up cooking the roast pork til yesterday, and then just used it to make pork butties rather than as a proper dinner, oooops! It is lush roasted with a bit of nutmeg though

Hope you enjoyed your hangover free weekend
Xx
Long hangover-free weekend (was off yesterday too!) muchos enjoyed!
Shame I made up for it by eating my body weight in chocolate haha...
Sooooo.... I'm back yet again with my tail between my legs, and yet again dreading weigh-in tomorrow
I think it's very likely I'll have gained, but due to my scales ban I have no idea how bad it's likely to be!! Eeek! Going to a friend's for dinner tomorrow night (my SW buddy, who's had an equally bad week) but then from Thurs morning it's a fresh start yet again. I am such a muppet - could be well on my way to the next size down by now if I'd just got my bum in gear, but instead I'm keeping Cadbury's and Mars afloat with my chocolate consumption!!!
Am a bit stressed with the whole work situation and am due on this week, so am hoping that once those two things resolve themselves the sweet cravings will start to go away!! It was uncertainty and stress that caused me to put on half this weight so I must not let myself fall into that trap again!! Need to get myself a non-chocolate outlet for it... so back to gym from Thurs too to try and keep myself occupied, and am also going to get on with the illustrations I promised my friend I'd do for his book - that should keep my nose out of the fridge for a while! Very disappointed in myself but going to try my best not to beat myself up, as know that will only make me behave even worse...
So anyway, back to more positive stuff, I had a VERY productive weekend! I switched my energy provider (following NPower's absolutely ridiculous price rise yesterday! robbing *******!!), booked my MOT, sorted out my Sky contract, did the big clothes clear-out, watched Paranormal Activity 1-4, updated my CV and sent it back out to all the agencies, and finally took Sophia to the vet for her tummy troubles - I got a recommendation for a new vet and she was absolutely lovely, so I have high hopes for getting it all sorted out finally - although I now have her on a food exclusion diet (which she's also having trouble sticking to - and ate the pork scraps out of the bin instead!!) and tablets for the next few weeks... and oh dear god, how difficult is it to get a cat to eat a tablet?!
I have tried hiding/crushing/mixing in food, and she finds it every time!! But it'll be worth it if it sorts her out
So basically I went back to work today for a break!
Hope your weeks have all started well? All kicks up the bum gratefully received! xx
