Regarding how clothes fit after losing weight.
I have lost 7" off my waist but I am still wearing my jeans etc. It's just that before they were packed to capacity
with a very unattractive muffin-top. Now they are loose all over and I wear a belt.

I had several pairs of cropped summer trousers with elasticated or drawstring waist and they are very loose indeed especially around the backside.

I have a Laura Ashley tunic on today which again was a tight fit and now I can wear quite a thick top underneath. All my leggings are very loose but OK under tunics etc and with boots.

I have a gorgeous Hobbs animal print mac which I paid
around £150 for and that is very loose on me which I'm sad about. I will just have to wear thicker tops with that too for this autumn anyway. I haven't tried on my fave winter coat but I imagine that will be loose too.

I'm fed up with my flipping clothes, nothing fits and now I am kicking myself for throwing out loads of clothes last year that were too small and I never thought I would fit into

It's my birthday next month and my boyfriend is taking me on a shopping spree for new clothes, I will definitely be getting a coat, not sure what else though? Can't wait! Anyway food for today:

B - 2 rocky road bars (heb) banana and pear.
L - Omelette with tomatoes and feta (hea) strawberries, banana and muller light.
D - Salmon and vegetable stir fry. Nectarine.
I have a milky way sat waiting for me tonight so that will be my syns.

Evening everyone - just popping in to say hello.

I've made carrot and beetroot soup tonight and I must say it is delish!

Re clothes sizes - some of my bigger clothes don't fit any more but my previously skinny clothes (from when I did my lose 2st every year before putting it back on again) all fit fine and in fact some are too big. i really must invest in some new work trousers, the ones I am wearing today I couldn't get fastened in jan but now sit on my hips rather than my waist and I can take them down without opening the zip & button; they are v baggy around the legs and bum too but I'm mean and keep thinking that in another 10lb or so I would be into an even lower size...

I'm going to get through winter with very baggy jumpers & holding my jeans up with belts.
I refuse to contemplate buying anything new until spring.
