Thanks everyone for your lovely comments

I do have people walk past me in the supermarkets and not reconise me, maybe cos i have lost the weight fast they dont expect it. It is great when they look at me and then look again and then the shock on their faces its price less.

I feel like a new woman, and its great i still have to get my head around being a uk size 10 as i pick up the size and look at it and think thats really small that wont fit and then i try it on and to my amazement it fits.

Veggie I havent found it scary losing the weight as i had a taste of being slim before i had baby number 3 i was 1 stone lighter than i am now. But i have been battling for the last 7 years to return to that weight without any luck. Of course i lost a few stone and then gained and lost you know the usual story yo yo yo all the way for 7 years. One thing that i find hard to get used to is men around 19-25 years walking past me and calling me sexy and things like that.

Mary
