Hey - you'll have to give me a shout if you are up for a coffee or anything! I'm towards Alloa, but would be happy to meet up somewhere.
Trade show... hmmm, I know that must be stressful because you want to look your best. I can have a look for some size 16 things (I've been collecting stuff to donate, been tucking things into a trunk as I go along). Are you looking for business/smart casual/???
You've shown you can do it - 4 stone on Lipotrim? That must have been hard work! So you've shown you can do it, but it's hard to live on shakes/meal replacement for the rest of your life. There's so many of us here that know that this works for us - it doesn't fit into everyone's life, but it's one method that can result in health, weight loss, and involves real food and not being hungry. I sometimes look into the other forums here on Minimins, and everyone sounds so hungry! I don't miss that.
I was your exact weight in August, and I started taking a ballet class. I didn't last long (I'm not very good at dancing!) but I still stood in front of a roomful of mirrors and a dozen strangers wearing nothing but tights and a leotard... and you know, it wasn't horrible! Yes, I was a lot bigger than the rest, but I still did it. And now, I'm 25 pounds less and can't quite believe it. And it doesn't feel long ago... I had some interruptions with holidays/Christmas, but those ballet classes felt like yesterday. So keep it up - you have 31 pounds left, I have about 14... we can do it!
Now, go eat some bacon... and enjoy it!
