5'7" strawberry blonde (well, pale red that is now helped along because I'm worth it), loads of freckles, eyebrows so pale you can't see 'em, big up top, great bum and legs, with a better figure than the last few years... lost 4 dress sizes in 18 months by cutting out pasta/rice/potatoes/bread after a scare that I was heading towards diabetes. I look sort of country casuals/butter wouldn't melt, but I've got a wicked sense of humour and a great stock of one-liners.
We'd have the best party in the world if we all got together!What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -

Best feature is my ears and my kind soul ! lolIts just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:0

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay has anyone else noticed that everyone who is describing themselves here all have something of a flame of red/ginger/copper hair?!?
Yup! Me too! Well, auburn actually! It's mid-length. Straight (when I could be bothered). I'm 5'8". Big bakookas too (although I've actually gone down a cup size in the last couple of years coz of my weight loss/figure change!!). So 12 on top and 8 on bottom. And according to OH I'm 'not ugly'
Hourglass figure is GOOD PLMBL
You have your reasons this week for your slip up on your weight, so we'll allow you that!Back on track now please!!
Sounds like a good day yesterday!Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -

Yay! We can be the Auburn/Red/Strawberryblonde/Except/Some(brizzle!) club. Or !!!!!! for short. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I used to have the same problem as you HAW when I lost all my weight. I never got smaller than a 12 on top because of the size of my bust. Mind you, I never got smaller than a 10 on the bottom either.
Well done on the weightloss Satchmo! 4 dress sizes is fab! Hoping to follow your lead on that one!
Mara - your ears?! Seriously
You lot have cheered me right up! Think I might be in for a bad day with DH as he keeps going panicky and talking of 'waves of fear' again. (Might have that tattooed on his forehead). He has an appointment with the confidence lady at lunch time so will see how he is from now til then.

Oh I need to join in. I could be incognito.
I also live in a pit village, the one Saint Bobby Robson was born in.
I am 5 foot 5. I am a size 12 -14 - due to boobs. My children too are beautiful. I am currently losing weight apart from off the chest.
I have straight brown hair with bangs down to the middle of my back. All very katy perry apart from the looks and any singing ability. I always look tired (IMO) and I have dark skin and eyes - not as dark as we could have been with a spanish grandad as my mam is a platinum blonde- so its more of a mucky olive tinge. My husband says I am beautiful but hes only after my cheese pie.
I have a big nose as well. Best feature? probably my elbows, as I am disgruntled with most of my bits since having DS!Trying to shift that debt!0 -
