Claire thank you, its the same at Jasmines school Im really not a judgemental/ !!!!!y girl, but I really want to take one of the women who is so pretty but wears grey joggers and a hairband, every day by the hand and drag her to the shops! But then I realise I was once like that (well not in joggers but sticking to safe colours) lol

You may be getting to your ideal weight? I stopped losing when I got to 10 and a 1/2 stone no matter what I did it wouldnt shift, but Ive realised Im probably meant to be this size...Ive got lazy now and put a few pounds back since I cancelled the gym, even though Im not eating any more than I did, so I need to get off my butt and do something, but I reckon once the weather gets warmer it will come off (I hope)

Alex thank you for my award!! Woohoo its like the Oscars lol...what do I do now do I pass it on?? Im a blogging virgin virtually still lol

Morning all

I got asked this morning if I've taken out shares in black and white dye - I don't think I wear that much of it!!!

Although having said that, I am very black, white and grey today:

Black, grey & white stripy dress - Per Una
Black leggings - Evans
Black & cream pumps - New Look (still can't wear proper heels cos of blisters on my toes )
Silver & quartz cocktail ring
Silver star earrings - New Look
Silver bangle - Shared Earth

Was it a bloke that said that? Did they not see the beautiful red/blue combo yesterday?:D

No, it was a woman! And she was doing the training with me yesterday so she can't possibly have escaped how brightly coloured my legs were

Claire, have to agree with retro that perhaps you are reaching a state of homeostasis. Some of us are simply not meant to be thin, others can't get fat (using this purely as a descriptive term without implication) regardless of how much they eat. Body diversity, gotta love it (even though it's not meant to exist!)

I threw my scales away. Evil things, keeping you fixated on weight and obscuring your view of what's really important.

Have an interview today at half one, got another for a PA job on Monday and am more worried about that one, how the heck are PAs supposed to dress? It's for this firm, I doubt turning up in a short rose-print skirt would cut the mustard?

Good luck Magpye

I totally agree with you on that, my friend who I went to slimming world with weighs herself everyday and will panic if shes put on a pound...I can fluctulate about 2-3 pounds from morning to night on some days...I got rid of mine after I quit slimming world, once I reached 10 and a 1/2 stone (the leader wanted me to get down to 9 and a half stone :eek:- that wouldnt have been maintanable at all)...I know Ive put on now as all my clothes are getting tight... I agree we are all meant to be different shapes and its about how healthy you feel not what you look like......



Saying that I can say all that to others but I dont take it on board myself- hypocrite lol

To add to that good luck with the interview- nowt wrong with the rose print skirt, can you dress it with a plin top, black tights, shoes etc?

Erk, it's tricky isn't it? I have this feeling that they'd expect something fairly smart and "work wear" ish for a PA applicant but it's hard to do that without looking boring. I think the skirt would be great but perhaps keep the top, tights and shoes quite simple?

Good luck though!
