chicken on a mission
Restarting to lose 4stone
Size 12 trousers 
Having been down last night over my 1 lb gain I decided to try on the size 12's I bought last week and they fit beautifully with no tightness at all so I am wearing them today for a glorious day of housework
I didn't fair so well with the size 12 t-shirts though. Being stretchy they fit ok but I would like to lose another 4lbs or so before I am happy to wear them without too much stretch as this shows the lumps, rolls and bumps.
My body has definately changed shape since the last time I was slim. I used to be athletic and was a sprinter so my legs were powerfully muscled hense I always thought I was bigger at the bottom than the top as I have no chest.
Having done my measurements my bust and waist are in proportion and my hips are a size smaller
My thighs despite being bigger proportionally than I would prefer (see my progress shots which illustrate this perfectly) have definately shrunk a bit. Although I'll never be a skinny fit jeans gal I can now do straight legged trousers which wouldn't have been possible the last time I was thin.
If I could just ensure that any weightlost in future came off my tummy and thighs then I would be very happy indeed. I have come to the conclusing that once my weight has been lost and I start eating again then the hardwork will really begin as will need to start 'sculpting' my body into the shape I want by doing some major toning exercises. I am now trying to concentrate on sit ups at the moment which I have been neclectingbadly in the past couple of weeks.
The start of development has given me the impetus to consider what I haveleft to do and changemy daily challenges to match my new aims.
Given that the fashion is for low waisted trousers I need to buy 12's now although despite the size charts the few pairs of high waisted trousers I have found also 'fitted' me in the same way as when I speculatively bought the size 12's I am wearing today.
