Low-carb diets support thread

Well they say 10lbs is a dress size, don't think it is if you are big though, as when I first started loosing weight I didn't go down a clothes size for ageeeeees, but that may of been the fact I was practically living in a pair of size 18's, that had stretched beyond belief, kidding myself obviously as I couldn't zip up a 22 in Evans!

I think the closer you are to a healthy weight then 10lbs would be a dress size if you see what I mean? Depends where the fat comes off too! But that's just what I've noticed. I can fit into size 14's now with a slight muffin, and I was the same when I was 4lbs heavier, but I reckon before I can fit comfortably into them, it's going to be another 10lbs. My stomach is my problem area, since having DD it looks like it has taken 10 rounds with mike tyson, I LOATHE it, looks worse now I don't have so much fat padding it out aswell.

Can't do much about it except slap on moisturiser and hope it sorts itself out - Really doubt it though!

If you feel comfy in your clothes then I wouldn't worry about it, my fave clothes is a pair of pyjamas, I live in them Don't see the point of getting dressed when I'm in the house, as I'm always cooking and my clothes end up ruined from food splats.

Me too!! :j i love my pjs, some of them i had when i was at my largest 3 years ago :eek: and have rips in them but they are so comfy that i cant bare to part with them :rotfl:my bf keeps threatening to chuck them out :mad:.

Before at my largest no one noticed i had lost any weight until i had lost a good few sts i think if people see you day to day in the same old things they wont notice because its so gradual but if they didnt see you for a week or two then they would see the difference straight away.

Sweet, the postage is a con..
Had a reply simply saying that it is only with royal mail that the postage is cheaper.

Now it might be me, but i dont remember seeing a royal mail option.
Tis there now, but i swear it was added overnight.

So, the con..
1 item £4.95 DH L- £3.25 RMail (same for 1st and 2nd class)
2 items £4.95 DHL - £5.50 RM ( no 2nd class)
4 items £4.95 DHL - £11.35 RM "
10 items £4.95 DHL - £16.95 RM "

So the moral of the story is...
Make sure you get a good supply and only pay postage once, or..
Dont order at all

I am chuffed, and cos everything is so loose i feel really thin, but then i catch myself in the mirror (full length, opposite til ) and i look fat from the side cos i still got a belly, albeit much smaller.

Buttons, i live in my pj's too.. very sad.
I even go out the front in them if need be.
I haven't actually ventured from the house in them yet tho, but i'm sure i will.
Well.. 'cept for in the car, i have picked the boys up in them, Gawd help if the car conked out :rotfl:

Focus, get some new pj's, you cant be wearing ripped ones :rotfl:
Even i'm not that bad, although.. my slippers are falling apart

I think people really notice weight loss if you wear something new, that is obviously a smaller size.

I have ordered a new top in a size 16 and i think then colleagues will see a difference as the one i wear now is all baggy and i look the same.

I just hope the bloody thing fits :rolleyes:

The peeps that dont see me often can see a difference but peeps on the same dept dont seem to notice.

You MUST finish course always, thats how we got MRSA, cos of people not taking full course and bugs left behind get stronger.. hence--super bugs.

I usually fry mushrooms in butter and onion, then add cream.. yummy

Thank bejesus, someone bought that gaming chair that I was selling, £230 it sold for BUT amazon take £40 of fees, the snide ******* :mad: ALSO they only charge the buyer £1.95 for postage, so muggins me has to make up the rest, good job I know a cheapo delivery site, that actually uses DHL, so £7.50 to send it, and it weighs 24kg, so not too bad!

I won that gaming chair in a comp AGEEEES AGO, so really it's £190 for nowt I really should do comps again but, I may be doing a house exchange (I hope I get it, just waiting for them to make up their minds :rolleyes:) as I hate where I live, and they have a nice 2 bed bungalow with garden, anyhow, no point doing comps if I do swap and it all gets sent here.

Still not eaten today, feel like poop, so gonna go have a nap then duct tape the box up good and proper when I wake up.
