Well at least you wont have to spend a fortune on a completely new wardrobe of clothes BB:T

Other than underwear I have enough clothes to see me through the next 5 or 6 stone at the very least

You must treat your self to something special once you are at your target weight though:)

I can't even imagine that far ahead to be honest. I have some photos of me aged 19 and a size 16. I was quite slim on them. I think I'd like to buy something from a shop which doesn't do plus sizes, somewhere that maybe stops at a 16 just to feel 'normal' shopping wise. Not really sure where though as I don't reall think past the same 1 or 2 shops I use at the moment.

2 standard sized wardrobes - both full, 1 I can now just about move the hangers
A few bits shoved on the shelf above the clothes
The floor of each wardrobe has a pile of clothes on it:o
A large drawer shoved full of tops all around a size 20:o
A few bits in a drawer under the bed
Some hangers have 2 items on them

AND I now have a charity bag (the type that comes through the door) full of castoffs.

To compare how few bits fitted me 5 weeks ago and how much stuff I have, I had 2 work skirts and 1 pair of work trousers. I had about 3, maybe 4 work tops. I then had 3 pairs of casual cropped trousers and 2 or 3 tunic tops for wearing in the evening/weekends/supermarket etc

Don't even ask about what's on the coat pegs in the hall...........

Hi girls

STS for me again, can anyone see a pattern here

I really need to get going with some sort of exercise as soon as poss. In a weak moment, I said I wanted to do another 10k, and there appears to be one in early October. My DD found out about it and hassled me into agreeing to do it :eek::eek::eek:

Need to get from zero to 10k in under 3 months :rotfl:

BB, let me know which charity shop you're dropping your stuff at. I need to come and buy it all :cool:

It would all be waaaaaaaaaay too big for you missus otherwise you could have had the whole lot!

Decided to pull the pile out of the second wardrobe. 17 items of clothing, 5 with tags on from either NEXT or M+S, another 8 without tags but not worn and were either brand new off ebay or second hand. I must not buy anything from ebay this time!! I always do it. I lose a bit of weight and find myself looking on ebay all the time at clothing that will 'fit in a few weeks'. That's why I have so much stuff. Plus when I go on holiday, nothing fits me from the previous time because I've put on weight so I buy more cropped trousers and more tunics in a mad panic buying spree

The up side though is when my PC went bang last year and I swapped to a lappy I couldn't find the wireless router I was given. I searched again 6 months ago - nothing.

It was at the bottom of the pile of clothes at the back of the wardrobe

Right, let's see if I can get mobile

Hi Spud.

Poor you Lou thats toe sounds not nice.
Grows quite quickly.
I had a bother with one a few weeks ago & in a couple of weeks it was okish.

Burlesque_Babe

ooooh, it would you gorgeously spuduolous person, it would........;)

Well to be honest, he can go swing. I am choosing to do this and the minimal support I get just heightens how little he is bothered.

He told me on holiday that our lack of boingy (ie none, ever) was all due to me. In the past he's said it was partly him being a smoker (and the, cough, effects) but no, it's me. The other day he made some comment whilst in the bathroom and I cheerily said 'can't wait to lose all this weight. All that sex we have to catch up with. You're going to be so tired.' He said 'I'm already tired'. I said 'you'll be even more tired with all that sex to catch up with '.

Absolute silence Let's just see how much blaming me for him not being able to have sex or even being able to lay 1 finger on me without any sex is the truth shall we?...........and how much is emotional bullying bollocks ....;)
