    See I can fit into a size 14 on top right now, and a 16 on the bottom, which doesn't make sense because I'm clearly still overweight! But then I have broad bones so I doubt I could get any smaller myself!

    How tall are you Keely? Well done on loosing the weight, which I was so pro-active about it after I had Keira, instead of stuffing my chops.

    I feel so sad today :( Seeing GP tomorrow to get another prescription, then seeing Pysch on Tuesday. I just feel awful, like it is a deep, never ending pain. I'm just wishing each day away, waiting for bedtime. Don't think anything will take away the sadness.

    I'm 5ft 6, have kind of an hourglass figure in the sense i got in at waist and out at hips, but my boobs are only average size. If my hips were smaller i'd be a 12 top 14 bottom! Always had big thighs-so trousers fit on thighs then are massive around my waist and so on.

    I can feel my ribs and hip bones now-so i know i cant be too far off now. Just need to work out a way to get my thighs to shrink!!

    I'd kill for that shape! I'm more of an apple, I have no bum and slim thighs (Even though I have obscenely large calves, seriously look ridiculous) all my weight sticks around my belly, my boobs are slightly bigger than average. On the upside I kind have a waist now because I go in, before my love handles make an appearence lol.

    Bet you'd look fab in a clingy long dress, b!tch, hate you! :p

    Right SM cook yourself thin, they suggest having your 1500cals as
    BFast - 300
    light meal/lunch - 400
    main meal/dinner - 500
    treats/desserts - up to 200 (either 2x 100ish snacks or 1x 200pud)
    with up to 200ml semi-skimmed milk in hot drinks
    totals 1500cals

    sweet recipes are;
    Coconut & Banana panckes, serves 4, 193 cals per serving (inc maple syrup to serve)
    Wholewheat molasses muffins 146cal or 162 if using optional honey and seeds
    Chocolate banana sunflower muffins 133 - 154 cals (makes 10-12)
    banana loaf 201cals per slice (makes 14 slices)
    Guitlessly delicious fudge brownies 82-91 cals (18-20 slices)
    couscous cake 181 - 192cals
    Marshmallow fruit salad with frozen yoghurt 100cals
    chocolate crispy cakes 65-84cals
    Eton mess 170cals
    dark chocolate coffee mouse 139cals
    light strawberry sponge 187 cal sper serving makes 10servings
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
