    Afternoon all :)

    Had to laugh at the treat safe, and like someone else said, I think it would just encourage eating more when you get the chance. It wouldn't work for me when I get back to work, with a whole shop full of horrors - I can't lock them all away, I wouldn't sell any! You can just imagine the look on the customer's face when I tell them they'll have to come back when the timer goes off. :rotfl:

    On the clothes debate, it's difficult to know what to do for the best if you have a lot of weight to lose, because your biggest clothes aren't going to be wearable after you've lost a couple of stone. I'm still wearing the same tops but the jeans that fitted me in November are now falling down so I bought a couple of pairs of lightweight trousers in the sales.

    The other thing is that you might want to change your style, if you tended to go for long baggy tops that cover a multitude of syns you could choose more fitted styles that show off your trim figure.

    It's important to establish what style you will adopt when your choice of clothes is suddenly much bigger, i.e. people who move from plus size (20 and over) down to regular sizes (18 and below).

    Have any of you who are at or near target changed your style drastically? I think it was maman who said she now chooses colours rather than all black.

    Good Evening :)

    I am still wearing black leggings cant make myself wear bright coloured ones :o I sorted my wardrobe out last week and found some jumpers that didn't fit me before SW they do now and they are bright colours so compliment the black leggings :)

    So my styles not really changed just had to buy smaller leggings that didn't fall down when I was walking :rotfl::rotfl:

    I wear Croc shoes or will when weather warms up and have bright green and bright purple ones along with my 3 pairs black ones :D

    HOW MUCH?????????????????? it is 40 pounds on Amazon!!!!

    Well at least if you bought one then you wouldn't be able to afford treats.. Job done, weight lost :rotfl:

    I'd just eat it all as well once it was opened.. Jock maybe you should produce one that dispenses one treat a day, you could be a millionaire!!

    Btw, I tried the overnight oats over this weekend and again for breakfast yesterday. I quite like them but - it was increadibly sour!!!!!!!! I use the natural yogurt and some frozen mixed berries I had in my freezer for ages. Do you add anything else to sweeten them a bit? Both times I aned up adding something - maple syrup first time, a bit of sweetener the second time. I am not sure I can stomach the sourness like this for breakfast again...

    do you have almond milk? The unsweetened version can be used as a hex a and is really delicious.

    I wear croc lookalikes which Lid* & Ald! sell from time to time - usually buy them in France 'cos they're cheaper!

    Just bought my DD2 a pair of peachy coloured ones from another shop in France as part of her birthday present as wasn't able to get them for her when I went over in December!

  • -3lbs off for me Shala

    I was also SOTW and SOTM, I finally get my fridge magnet!

    Not sure it was massively deserved, the reason I lost so much was because normally I have my tea before I go but because it was taster week I didn't. It was a mistake as I was sitting there an hour before we started eating.

    I'm now down to 12st 12lb which is the 180lb weight! I think I still have a bit more to go though.

    Croc lookalikes are leg breakers or the ones I tried where.
    I found the lookalikes very slippy when it was wet out :(

    Proper Crocs I don't find slippy :j:j
