To celebrate I'm having a pizza and a glass of wine:o
Will be good tomorrow .....

well done ww that's great 9st 7lbs is my ideal weight too-how tall are you btw?

well done ww that's great 9st 7lbs is my ideal weight too-how tall are you btw?
I'm 5'5" and quite a sturdy build (never been a waif!) - wide shoulders and I used to think I had wide hips but they seem to have shrunk !
I'm now a size 10 in any shop and can sneak into the odd size 8 top. I weigh less now than I have at any time in my adult life.:D
My feet have shrunk by half a size too! My rings are too big and I've had to make more holes in my watch strap - its the little things like that you don't think about.
Just need to find a way to not "be on a diet" but not put wieght back on now. Will keep up the exercise and try to be sensible with food.
A little bit of me wants to lose 2 more lbs to make it a nice round 2 stone but I think if I do that its not going to make any real difference to my shape/size and I'm in danger of obsessing over it.
Any advice on maintaining your weight would be appreciated!0 -
Evening ladies and germs,
Sorry for not posting sooner -my laptop was having issues loading the forums this morning! :mad:
Won't bore you with the mealplan of the day, still having trouble cutting back so I have decided from today (Friday) to eat little and often, so I will be spacing my meals out and having four little portions of food, rather than three scheduled(ish) mealtimes. Hopefully this will cut out me wanting to snack so much.
Anyway, this week I have STS again and will try to be good with my calories.
Oh, and in other news....re: my interview from last week? The outcome that was postponed....well I just heard back this evening...

Morning all
Well done on the losses, especially WelshWoofer - you star!
I can report -1, thank god. I waited to weigh until today...all week I was weighing each day and was -2, until Friday when I weighed in and was +2!! I COULDN'T have gained 4 lbs in one day so I tried again this morning. Still a bit fed up though as it would have been nice to lose the 2lbs I gained last week and all week it looked as though I would.
Never mind, onwards and upwards, 5 weeks to go!0 -
Oh theatregirl congratulations on the job!0
