I went shopping again this weekend... I headed to M&S for some new undies (that fit! ) and I had a wander round the sales stuff. I tried on some PJ bottoms and... shock... horror...gasp... they are so close to fitting properly in size 22 that I bought them! (just a smidge too tight but they made me smile at the prettiness and were £7 in

Well done you :T

In a few weeks they will be fitting you perfectly (and a few more weeks they will be falling down :rotfl:)

:rotfl: They have a drawstring from halfway round them so I'm hoping they'll last till it gets too cold to wear cropped PJ bottoms!

back from hols and pleased to say 3lb loss over past two weeks.

i did try to be not such a pig as i normally am .

i'm not much of a spirit drinker so find i am a bit limited on hols :beer: but it obviously helped the diet .

on the down side i think we are about to increase our mortgage :mad: (have seen a new house -more than we intended to pay ) but the budget for food may need to be cut dramatically for awhile.:rotfl:

It means I never have to buy Evans horrible unflattering PJs ever again! (Invariably baby pink (a colour that makes me look ill) as that is what 90% of the nightwear is in my local stores :mad:) :j :j :j :j :rotfl:

Well done Taka, that's superb :T

Well done on the loss on holiday! :T

Good luck with the house buying! You could have a look at Cheap Family Recipes for some budget but very, very tasty food if you want! (Have a look at Weezl's thread in the "How much have you saved" bit of the MSE forum if you want to read some of the testing/tweeking/thoughts behind the site!) Just avoid the carrot cake unless you want 3 slices to disappear in close succession! :EasterBun It is waaaaaay too yummy for its own (or rather my own) good! :rotfl:

thanks taka for web site.

i am going to start a spend diary and see where all the money goes .

unfortunately with 2 big guys in the house they are never full (and not overweight :mad:) but needs must.

emptied the piggybank at the week -end and paid in to savings account and ebayed like mad on free week-end to have spare money for ea /solicitors /etc.
the garage needs a good clean out this week-end then car booty -here i come.

Been away for a bit - so just catching up. My total loss as of yesterday is now 50 llbs (since January) and I am 13.13 - Gosh I have not been in the 13 stone somethings for a longggggggg time!
Went shopping for an outfit for a wedding and it was great just going into standard shops and picking up a size 16 that went on fine. I know that my weight and size has still got a long way to go down yet - but I am beginning to see that having a normal BMI and a size 12 may just actually happen!!
