    Well done on your amazing weight loss, no wonder you feel so much better. Good job you kept the old clothes - are you getting rid of the bigger sizes so you don't have a comfort blanket? Good to hear from you, glad everything is ok xx

    Fantastic news on the weight loss... bought the mag and read the article... full of admiration for you all, and especially your view on life... 
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Thanks SA. I’m going go keep a couple of pieces just for laughs when I get to Target, but otherwise I’m selling/donating/binning it all Xx

  • So I needed 2lbs off last week to get my 5 stone award, but only lost one. Gutted! Hopefully I’ll get it this week. My Mum gave me some money to get some new clothes  o:). I got a couple of pairs of trousers and some new knickers  :D . Just from Mr A’s as I would rather have cheap and cheerful as I move through the sizes.

    Moneywise we are ticking over. Still waiting on the TAB money but they messaged last week saying the money would be paid directly into my account within 2 weeks, so it shouldn’t be long. I’ve listed some of my better clothes that are too big on eBay. I won the cost of a bag of chicken nuggets onto my bonus card ( :p ) which will help to feed my ‘bottomless pit’ children, and I continue to get the free school meals vouchers which are a godsend.

    Aww, shame you missed out on the award but slow and steady progress is still progress. Hopefully you'll get there in the coming week!
