    Ha, anyway, i bought a new skirt today and its a size 14, and it fit me (before the bloating of the Mc'd) admittedly twas a bit snug but the 16 was hoooge.

    Ha!!

    I feel hoooge now :o

    I don't understand why 16 is hoooge on you & it would be too small for me?! :confused: We are the same height & must be roughly the same weight??

    I wish I could lose dress sizes :( Maybe I'm big boned?? :rotfl:

    Well done on the size 14 :j I'm not jealous, honest :rolleyes:

    Honestly now, and dont laugh i'm serious, i have always been 'heavy' for my size, when i was 9st 2, peeps wouldnt believe me til i proved it as they were bigger but lighter. (i must be very 'dense' :rotfl:)

    But also, it was probably a fluke as i'm no slim jim.

    And... as i've pointed out my bottom half is smaller than my top. but...
    My friend had a pre lc photo of me with her today, OMG, my bloated stomach is vomit inducing.. Yuk
    So... i am gonna be really good from now on, i aint going back to that.

    I have the same problem as you right now Mazzers. My size 16's look like "sh!te catchers" as my mum calls them (they hang off me everywhere and sag at the bum hence the name) but 14's give me a bit of a muffin and erm....a camel toe. Can't win! Saying that size 14's in Evans fit, shame I never like the styles of their jeans.

    Hopefully with all this water I'm guzzling it will flatten my big fat belly some.

    I have a serious fuzzy head, must be carb withdrawel.

    If it's any consolation mazzers, my lad has got my car tonight as well. He has 2 of his own but one's in the garage getting fixed and the other isn't good enough to take the girlfriend out for a meal in. Apparently. :rolleyes:

    I left post-it's all over the inside of the car...on the stereo (saying dont have this blaring) on the gear stick (saying treat kindly) on the clutch (saying dip fully and dont ride) and so on etc. :D By the time he gets them all off the restaurant will be shut. :rotfl:

    The cheeky bugg*r has removed my 'crap' (sunglasses etc) and installed his own :rolleyes:
    He even removed my 'red nose day' air freshener and put his own boxing gloves ones up.
    Hmm, wondering if i shoulda made it clearer that its my car and he's only borrowing it.

    Hi all!

    mazzers - congrats to your lad! wish him well from me :) You will need to put foot down (though, when not in car) as to who's car it is :) Think it's nice him getting a go straight away, celebration time! But regular life is different :rotfl:

    have to say, hun, that meal must've been awful if McDs is better :eek:

    I echo the peppers ting, sounds wonderful, wil try that :)

    buttonmoons - ketosis is diff for all, I echo Ted in that. I've been doing keto cocktail in morning and it has tipped me over the edge. Couldn't get a shade before, now comfy shade 2. I generally have 15 - 30g carb a day.

    Off to do other stuff, hope yous all well n happy!

    Love MXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Mercy have you lost since doing the keto cocktail?

    Also, do you buy it or make it up yourself from Teds recipe?
