Ah ok hun, I can see where you're coming from. I thought you weren't allowed to SS past BMI 25 tho? Was talking to my dad about this (he is rly supportive of my journey) and mentioned u. I said I thought from the pics that u looked rly good as ur and worry that your expectations are too much-- like u say, ur trying to get back to the weight u were before you got married (but rly is it the weight u want to achieve or the way you looked?)...as u get older etc your skin tone does not improve. Plus a lot of looking good after dieting doesnt just come through weight loss- it comes through muscle toning exercises... no matter how much you lose if your muscles arent toned theres always gonna be a bit of unsightliness. Plus there may be a teeny bit of loose skin too. I guess what I'm tryin to say hun is are your expectations realistic? Obviously I dont know if you are doing exercises etc to help, but I truely feel that some of your problems now may be solved by doing more..
Altho I can totally understand your size 12 bottoms dilemma and am not trying to say I dont think you should be dieting, cos its totally your choice!

Hi, no I do value your comments, basically there is not restriction on SSing in LL - this is due to having to have medical check ups every 4 weeks so if I SS for another 4 weeks that will get me to 9 stone 4, then it is 12 weeks of management where I will possibly lose more weight albeit not as drastic. I will stay at whatever I end up being after management - well that is the plan anyway!
I think I just felt more confident and more my old self when I was slimmer, my heavier days are not the norm for me, I have always been a size 8/10 - just life got in the way and my weight started to creep up over the last 5 yrs and I was not able to contro it.
I know I will never be able to turn the clock back 5 years, I had long curly hair then and unless perms come back in fashion I am stuffed!!!! (LOL LOL LOL), I have had a baby since then and my body shape has changed and I do accept that, but although I do look slim on the photo, I do still have lots of bulges which need to go, whether that is 2 stones worth I do not know.
I do not excersise alot actually, I have just ordered a lateral thigh trainer from ebay and starting walking alot more, as it is more my bottom half that is the problem, so I know that will help.
Will just see how it goes, I will not take it too far, as looking too thin is worse than looking too fat IMO - luckily no issues with loose skin as such (yet) but will see.
