At WI on Thursday I lost a whopping 5.5lbs, which not only means that I have now lost 3 stone (exactly) I have also broken into the 17's for the first time in god knows how many years! I don't even really know when I was in the 17's, as I didn't tend to weigh myself when I was putting the weight on - must have breezed through them some time between 2001 and 2005?? Anyway, that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that I feel that i'm really making progress with my weight loss at last!! Yay!
The wedding that i'm going to is only 8 weeks now, and I would really like to be in the 16's by then. I don't know if that is a wise goal to set myself but I think I need to something quite challenging to keep myself focused.
I've also had a significant NSV since my last post - I can now fit into the "normal" New Look range size 18 tops!! I took my little sister out shopping last weekend to buy her some clothes for her birthday (she is a svelt size 12) and I ended up trying a load of stuff on also. I know the general trend at the moment means that a lot of stuff is quite baggy and 80's style (which is hardly flattering) but I found 2 "going out" tops that I really loved and were quite flattering, and they were both size 18. The last time I bought anything from New Look I only just managed to fit into the size 20 in their Inspire range. I'm probably still a size 20 in trousers, but I don't want to try for a little while yet. I'm still waiting to fit into some of the size 20 trousers I already have!! Isn't the sizing thing a total mystery??
Anyway, I have also been out enjoying myself a lot lately. I have had a number of opportunities to dress up and have actually gone out feeling really good about myself, and I have had quite a few people ask me if i've lost weight....which is always nice!!
Here are some of my most recent photos:
I love this top soooo much! My boobs look good for a change!!
Me and Greg (OH) looking a little tipsy...
