I go on holiday next Sunday (sunny Greece), I am soooo looking forward to it. Another 2lbs gone this week, down to 10st 2lb with another 9 to go (SINGLE FIGURES!!):D :D

I have spent a small fortune on holiday clothes today, I lurve clothes shopping more than almost anything. I've attached before & after pictures of me, so you can see how my clothes choice has widened, unlike my hips:lol: Hope it works ...

OH ALI! Just went to see your site for the first time, how brilliant do you look! You must be so proud of yourself!

Thanks Nicky
I am proud of myself...for once in my life I really feel I have taken control of something I thought controlled me...my weight and I feel brilliant.

Have to say tho you look pretty amazing yourself...not only have you lost the inches but you look a whole lot younger too...well done to you :)

Ali :wave:

Thanks very much - I know what you mean when you mention on your site about wearing the same clothes when your weight changes: I wore a size 18-20 suit until I got down to a size 14 then bought 2 new suits - suddenly (i.e. overnight!) everyone noticed how much weight I'd lost.

Hmm...
 

Seems like we need some replacement holiday cover round here to replace all the jolly campers etc AND all the awol's sigh any Brit lurkers about????

BTW Nicky good photos you look like my neighbour in the 2nd one!

We'll have to hire some temps to replace us when we're on holiday: What would the job-ad for that look like? :lol:

Yes Nicky it is amazing how wearing something that fits better always makes people notice...doesn't that just go to show you exactly how much people really only glance at you when you wear the same things all the time they get used to you and it isn't any wonder really that even though we have been trying hard and losing what to us seems a lot of weight, we continue to wear the same things and they don't see the difference. I think that is something that discourages a lot of people and why they give in...Looking back now I think it would probably have helped me if I had bought something new every time I reached a new dress size, but when I started at 25 stone I didn't really see the point I just kept telling myself it was a waste of money

Veggie ...Holiday cover....HOLIDAYS?????? what are they ??? :lol:

Ali :wave:

Just had some great news, that my boss will be back to work soner than we had thought, which means my life will get back to normality in a month or so, thank goodness for that.

It means I can go on holiday without dreading what I have to come back to!

This "lovely" weather is making me really look forward to my fortnight in the sun :) I drove Blackpool to Newcastle last night, then Newcastle to Blackpool this morning, I have never seen so much water! It was coming down in buckets!

Chucking it down here I dyed my already very dark hair black to get rid of grey so have purple towels everywhere now duh.

Ali I don't know what hols are either :(

I wish I could whisk you all away somewhere sunny and luxurious, where you could be pampered for a week (maybe even have someone to wash your towels ;) )

Just realised, poor Carol is up in St Andrews with the tent! OMG! Scotland is practically closed because of all the floods, what a shame for her. :-(

EEK hope shes took her canoe :stress:
