    I am following this thread with interest, I too have lots of clothes I can't fit into and am hoping to fit into them by the summer!!! I will join (if that's ok) but am also on the half-stone thread so hope I can keep up with both!

    Current weight: 134.6lbs (9st8.6lbs) which is the lightest I've been in a few months! I'm off chocolate for Lent so that's helping. My goal is 119lbs (8.5st) so just over 1st to go. And it is so damn hard to shift!!! I know it doesn't sound that heavy but believe me, at only 5'3" it is really showing, I feel and look so bloated!!! And it is annoying me not to be able to fit into my pretty clothes.

    Here's to all of us xo

    p.s. just love this quote from hollyh:

    I've woken up full of determination. I was visualising the 19th August and running through the two scenarios in my head, one going through all the clothes to sell still fat and the other wearing the clothes and a lot slimmer. The second one felt much better and i'm going to think of that every time i waiver.

    That's along time in work walks what do you do? Your doing well planning your meals for work as well. What's aqua aerobics like i've always fancied trying it?

    Welcome tara747, they say the last stone is the hardest to shift but i'm sure you'll be wearing your pretty clothes by summer.

    Welcome morocha. :D It's nice to see so many people joining, i know i'm not alone in my quest to fit into my smaller clothes.

    I'm still struggling a bit today and having arguments with myself that no i do not want to eat those hobnobs or crisps or cake.:cool: I'm not even particularly hungry i just feel the need for a binge.:o I will be strong though as i'm not giving up, i will fit into those clothes by 19th August.:j

    best thing is not to have them in the house... i do quite well.. but my oh arrives in the house wit a bag full of chocolates, biscuits, my favorite popcorn... crips ( i adore crips) and i end up eating even when i am really not hungry,,,
