Don't think you're being *****y but I am unsure what size she was. I'd guess at about 24/26... I dunno I am rubbish at guessing sizes. That's ok though as I have been size 30 and now am a tiny 26/28. I think people do look bigger on tv though. I loved Manchester anyway.

Think she could have been 22/24 cos she's quite short, I don't understand the dress size thing, I've seen women in the "before" pic's in slimming mags etc who are the same weight and height as me but allegedy a size 18-20 HOW??? I'm a 22-24 and would be delighted to be an "enormous" 18-20!!!

I hate the 'before weights' where they say they were size 30 and 5ft 4 at 30 st when I was that size at 20 st. Where is the extra 10 stone going? I could rant on about slimming 'before and after' features for hours... but I must just say in slimming mags where they say they were having 6000 cals a day or something 'before' is just stupid. I think it is 'Slimming' mag that always has the stupid 'before' cals amount.

Oh...I must say being in Manchester has made me want to lose weight badly I kept getting glances of myself in windows.

I know!!!! The city of glass, it's so cruel travelling through all that to work every day!!!! And the clothes shopping is so good in Manchester, it seems a waste to have to live in Evans and Ann Harvey.

I love the Slimming World magazine, I have become addicted to it, I wouldn't join a slimming club I don't think, but I'm not sure. It is a bit hard doing this on my own (well, not quite coz I've got you lot). It's a bit lonely sometimes.

I went to the gym this afternoon............hot gym instructor was there, doing weights in tight shorts and a t-shirt, it was most difficult to concentrate on what I was doing. Too many mirrors in that dang gym, didn't want to get caught out gazing at him!!!!

SW mag is good even though I hate the plan at the mo. It all involves cooking. I think I had oven chips 3 days in a row last week I'm very off cooking.

kykaree i was staring so much at the "scenery" in the gym i walked into one of the machines!!! was like something out of youve been framed.........didnt know what to say when DH asked where i got the huge bruise
what does it matter what size michelle was or is now.........shes lost a lot of weight and looks better and happier in herself, good on the girl

It only matters coz I used to watch Michelle on Pop Idol very jealous about her clothes!!!! LOL Was trying to work out which shops they got her into!!!

There isn't much scenery at my gym, so I get all excited when there is some!!!! Most of the guys there are pushing 70, not that there is anything wrong in that, in fact it's fabulous, but scenery....not quite.

I love cooking so SW would probably be ok for me. It's just the green and red days that would do my head in. And the times are hopeless for me in my area. I need a slimming group that meets on a Sunday - yeah like that's gonna happen!!!!

Michelle's on the cover of Heat, well at the top anyway, the main cover is 'do men prefer skinny or curvy women'? WHO CARESSSSSSS I say. All I care about is rake thin people being presented as healthy when they are not. Ok I'll calm down now...

I'm on my 2nd good day

well done veggie for managing 2 days before you know it , it will have been a week and youll not be having to try so hard it will be good weeks and not days, youll get back on track, mind you im thinking of changing my sign in name to train..........cos im off the track more than on it

LOL, perhaps it should be Manchester Tram - they're hopless - only joking tootoot, I am sure you will be a Tokyo Very Fast Train before you know it!!

Veggie I get really annoyed at emaciated stick insects being held up as virtuous role models. And people who aren't fat being described as chubby. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Those trams cost loads and no one checks the tickets we were stuck for about 30 mins waiting for one we only needed to go two stops but we were lost and didn't realise.

Hi Girls

Well I've eaten my way back to were I started on the last challenge and to be honest I don't care it seems that when i'm "dieting" I obsess about food and crave MORE when i'm not bothered about it I don't binge nor do I lose weight but I don't GAIN it either so i'm going to just try and eat like a "normal" person get some exercise and wait and see oh and i'm not going to jump on the scale all the time like a madwoman either

cat..........what is a normal person?
