Yay! It's brilliant when that happens. You're obviously doing something right, albeit unconsciously.
 
Went to M&S to spend my birthday voucher and reward myself for my recent achievement on the scales. Down to a size 38F scaffolding. Size 14 trousers comfortable. Yippee! 😛

Brilliant - how good is that! Does this mean you've reached your target now?
 
According to the BMI calculator, I have another 2 st 12 lbs to lose before I get to the top end of 'healthy'. Not sure that's achieveable!
 
Well done LeeLee - How fantastic.

I think I said before on here, when I first lost weight, I used the free Boots website, and the suggested weight for my BMI would have made me positively underweight - hadn't been that weight since adolescence and haven't been overweight until my 30's! Other weight/height charts stated the weight I was happy with was fine. Guess it depends on muscle mass too, as others have stated. Anywy, I'm sure you'll know when you feel right 🙂
 
Reached over my shoulder to scratch my back... and realised that my 'camel hump' has gone! For those who've never had one, sometimes when you're really big, you get a pad of fat just below the base of your neck.

Yay - that must feel good - now where you going to store your water :D
 
just went shopping to Waitrose, had craving for something really stodgy and sweet (that time of the month!), saw a brownie tray bake thing (which i've been known to eat in one go as brownies are my fave)....stared for a new minutes......

then picked up cadbury's 1/2 fat choc mousses (only 4 syns on SW plan) and trotted off.

diabetes and staying on plan 1, evil brownie with fat and sugar, 0.

🙂
 
Well done for your self-control! Mmmmmm brownies. Drool is getting keyboard damp!
 
ye and i'll admit i wish i was sat here with it now!! I have a waitrose reduced fat sponge pud in the fridge too which i cant eat today as had too many syns....i'm amazed i haven't started gnawing my way through the cardboard on that - even more so since it's been sat in fridge for a week!

god love Mr muller for creating mullerlights is all i can say!!! 🙂
 
Great Willpower there Dory - well done you!

I am slightly confused but happy. I am on a rare 'getting dressed up' night tonight and have gone through my wardrobe and am now posing in a pair of size 16 jeans and 16 tunic top - topped off with a size 18 leather jacket!

I feel great in how I look - not felt so good about myself in a while.
Now how can it that I can get in the clothes comfortably that I was in when at my lightest last year - and I do look slimmer in the legs, hips and bum area. It must be all the gym work Iwas doing before my hip injury. Sp its not all about those flipping scales is it!!

Its inspired me - and I am celebrating with a vodka and diet coke!!
 
go Lucy!

your night out tonight is going to be great - watch out for all the guys doing double takes at you! 🙂
