    Jump back onto the bandwagon and don't beat yourself up about it. As for the weight loss *wow* congratulations and I'm green with envy!

    Thank you all so much - as per usual you have restored my confidence in my failings...

    You are all right of course - and a negative attitude won't do me any good either. Onwards and upwards (well downwards hopefully. another 3 stone to go and about £25K...)

    Would like to take the opportunity to say - weightloss is thanks to the help and Support of Slimming World - where I am in a fab group. Hoping to get another 2lb loss tonight, but it doesn't matter how you do or don't do, they only support me.

    I had a mammouth 6 stone to lose, and never thought I could manage it, but here I am almost half way through and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! Am hoping for the same motivation, once I start money saving. Only one slight problem - have already gone down two dress sizes, what do I do for clothes when I go down another two? I can possibly wear baggy clothes that are 4 sizes too big?

    Sell your old clothes on Ebay and find some charity shops in nearby "posh" areas? My OH gets all his work clothes from them, and is very well dressed indeed, for very little money! I haven't been quite so lucky, but have found some great bargains too...

    Don't be downhearted; you're doing brilliantly well!:o
    C'est le ton qui fait la chanson
