    Hi Happy Easter all.

    You are all making me feel a lot better - have scoffed my own body weight in chocolate, and keep going for walks to try and get rid of that totally stuffed feeling!

    I'm a size 14 myself (and about 5foot 7 or 8 depending if I'm slouching) - but I have slimmed down from a size 22 over the last few years - so I always have a panic that the minute I put on a couple of pounds I'm going to end up undoing all my good work.

    And I totally know that feeling of wanting to cry in a changing room! Was chatting with my friend about this today (as we moaned about how much chocolate we'd shipped this week!) - if I'd have known it would still be this hard to find clothes that suited me, I might not have bothered losing all the weight! At least before I went into Evans and bought whatever there was in my size. Lack of choice was my friend!:rolleyes:
    Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side

    I guess as everyone is discussing stats I'll start with I'm around a size 12-14-16 (i'm complicated, it so depends what I'm buying where!) but it looks like I'm the munchkin of the thread at 5ft3! :D

    Hi All,

    I think i beat you on this one Laura. I am only 5ft2 (had deluded myself that i was 5ft4 but was recntly measured). i am also a 12-14 depending on where i shop how hard is it for retailers to make clothes all one size. Though it does make me feel better when i replace a size 14 pair of trousers for a size 12.:rolleyes:

    LOL!! Love that! The only person I could buy an egg for (to actually eat myself) is my flatmate but she's a marathon-running fitness type who buys a bar of chocolate, eats one square then PUTS IT BACK IN THE FRIDGE.

    R xxx

    Good fricken grief how the hell....puts it back...hmmm no not familiar with the concept :confused: heh heh!!

    I managed to get through the whole holiday with no eggs :( except one my ex sent me in the post bless him but it was only a cadburys creme egg which, needless to say, was divoured (sp) in seconds :D

    I couldn't bring myself to buy myself one either so I will just have to wait till next year!!
