    The worst part of my weight loss is that Im not even sure I'll change dress size. I'm size 14 now, and the last time I lost weight, I lost 2 and a half stone and I went from a 16 to a 14, and I weighed 11 stone exactly. I want to be 10 and a half stone for the wedding.

    As I said before, I've got the same figure as my mum and she told me that the lightest she's ever been was 7 and a half stone (she was pretty ill) and she was still a size 14. Damn these big bones!

    Some people just don't look right when they are really skinny though... I always think if you hit a wall with the dieting that is your bodys way I telling you that that is your optimum weight. But then I try not to think like that!! :rotfl:

    Lol, I dont think I'll ever be super skinny - in my dreams I will be, but in reality I'll settle for being able to wear a pair of jeans without a muffin top appearing.

    Yeah I am not aiming to be super skinny but I would like to be a weight that is within the 'healthy' range for my height. Not aiming for too much really!

    I stayed the same :( I expected it really and I know it's not a gain but still disappointed. Oh well, onwards and upwards and all that! Well downwards hopefully!!
