    well done! Hypno re your capsule wardrobe did you choose TM lewin becasue of the cashback? what is their quality and fit like - am umming and awing between Hawes & curtis which have nicer designs and TM lewin with 10% cashback. desperate need of new work shirts so 3 for £75 is good offer.

    Well done on the weight loss Hypno :T:T:T

    Not sure where the red handbag you liked was on the shopping list, but at a TKMaxx I visited this morning they had lots of very similar Osprey ones at just under £50.

    Lots of other super Osprey bags and purses there too. So could be worth a look.

    Thanks guys - I am trying really hard to stay in control on this one - I don't want to be back where I was, but like the debtbusting, it is hard to stay on track all the time!

    Onamission, the cashback was a nice bonus, but for me the fit etc of Lewin's stuff is right, so I would order them from there even without the cashback. I've not seen Hawes & Curtis, so can't compare, but will go and hunt them out at some point!

    Thats a brilliant weightloss, Hypno. When you didn't lose weight in the marathon training, everyone kept saying it was cos you were putting on muscle - whaddaya know, we woz right :D:D:D Now you're actually aiming at losing weight, rather than solely fitness, its falling off you, thats great.

    Hi Everyone - hope you are all well - Hypno well done on weightloss again that is fab news. Thank you all again for the advice about decluttering my clothes. I put that into action at the weekend and sorted out 3 drawers - 1 did have clothes in but the others were socks / underwear. I have managed to throw out / recycle / give to charity several items - I want to start on the wardrobes but OH is in the bedroom at the min so will try and do some later whilst I'm motivated :D The things in there will probably be mainly e-bay destined.

    I have gained a massive amount of weight over the last few months - I actually weighed myself last night and it was shocking :eek::eek::eek: So healthy food purchased which is good but I was thinking of exercise but am worried if I start powerwalking or running then I will stay the same size / shape I am without trimming down - if that makes sense? I wondered if anyone could advise me? :o

    Also I do think the weight gain (which seems to have happened very rapidly) is down to my illness as I am very active in my p/t work and always rushing about. But right now i need to fit into my clothes so reduced calories intake and exercise is a must ;)

    Fab weight loss hypno. Well done.

    Succumbed to choc with coffee here after lunch. Always likely to weaken when I have coffee. I should really stick to tea which doesn't have the same strong pull to have chocolate with.
