Hello,

Just wanted to gloat a bit about having gone down a size in jeans (from UK 14 to UK 12). I have lost about 10lb and I'm really pleased - it feels like concrete proof that my shape is changing, plus I now have a choice of jeans in topshop.

So far the only person who has noticed a change is my Mum, but I am confident that I will look and feel different if I can keep it up.

Anyway, good luck to everyone.

Congrats! I'm a pear, so going down a jeans size is the BEST for me! I hope it is for you, too!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

Audrey, actually it's my midriff (or to be frank, beer belly) that's the fattest bit of me, so a lower size in jeans is not such an achievement as it would be for a pear shaped person. But I'm still really pleased!

Congrats! That is great and I'm sure there are other people who've noticed but are too shy to say anything.
