    Im just wondering what lovely outfits you are all wearing on Christmas day?
    Im planning on wearing this
    http://www.newlook.co.uk/1833588/183358827/ProductDetails.aspx

    with leggings and black ballet pumps, but im feeling really fat and frumpy. Im not sure my HUGE hold me in pants can help :o

    Not sure to go for the black trousers are get a black sparkly top. Thats the boring but safe option, at least I wont be worrying about my big tum and how my thighs look all day.
    im also out on the 28th with friends I havnt seen since last xmas when I was a size 12. !! last year I got loads of compliments on how much weight id lost and how good I looked etc, im now 3 st heavier AGAIN, Im thinking of cancelling and saying im ill at the last minute.

    Oooh funky top Nic, that's lovely! You will look fab. Don't worry about your friends - you'll probably see a few of those have gained/lost weight too - it's all part of life. Go and enjoy yourself!
    At my FIL's they don't really dress up but I'll wear some top I've already got (which I hope won't fit next year ;) ) and my black cords.

    OH's plane delayed so sitting here freezing cold while I wait for him to at least take off before I drive to the airport. Might have some fruit while I wait as I'm on an EE day :o

    I'm wearing a grey dress over some funky tights I got in marks. I love choosing what to wear for xmas day!! I came home from shoping with my mum and nana and showed my OH the dress, tried it on, and he immediately said I should wear it on xmas day!! So that decision was easy lol. His nan phoned the other day and told him she'd bought me some jumpers and he said that I won't fit into them, it was quite funny hearing them on the phone! He said to her: nan she's a 10/12 now!! And apparently she said they were a 16, but that they would have fitted me right? lol bless her, she just wanted to make sure that she would have got it right if I hadn't lost the weight, how sweet!! Last time I saw his parents they couldn't believe how good I looked, his Dad wants me to teach him the diet over xmas!! (he won't go to a class, even though there's one literally across the road from his house!!) I haven't lost much more since I saw them, although if I do get this 3.5lbs this week it'll probs be half a stone!! However I haven't seen his nan in ages, maybe since before I even started I think.... Or at the beginning of it anyway... And she's one of those really honest, tell it how it is people (just like his Mum lol!!) and so I can't wait to see what she thinks!!

    morning all - I survived my encounter with Rosemary. :rotfl:

    Nic - don't you dare cancel your night out! Catt is right - they want to see you and will probably have been having a few weight issues of their own. Go and have a fab time - and wear what makes you feel the most relax (and has a bit of room in the waistband for those drinks! Nothing worse than being cut in half all night!):eek:

    Catsy - you have done so brilliantly - enjoy those 10/12s!!

    I will be wearing a wool sweater/dress thing, over black leggings and boots. I love it and its WARM which is the important thing. Can't quite believe I am going out in public in leggings again - I remember the early 90s - but have shredded the photos:rotfl:
    Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side

    lol!! I adore wearing leggings, I wear them when I would usually wear tights, they're sooooo much warmer. The only thing I don't like it when people wear something too short with them, for eg a normal T-shirt and so you can see all the wobbly bits!! I find they're great with a long top/dress and then said wobbly bits are covered!! I sure wouldn't want people seeing mine!! lol!!
