Non Scale Victories

[Steff]

I have waited so long to post this one!

Got a casual meal out with work tonight and wanted some new jeans, so bought two pairs today - one size 20 one size 18.....and guess what? Tomorrow I am taking one pair back and announcing loudly ...sorry they are too big!!!

Its a lot better than the size 24 I was in June!

That is just terrific Lucy how good do you feel right now, a BIG well done to you x

It means I can shop in 'normal' shops! rather than just plus size ones all the time.

Fantastic Lucy, well done. Feels great dosent it when you can shop in normal shops... Not so great for the bank balance mind you 😛. Keep up the good work x

I put on a pair of trousers this morning and they fit rather than being a bit tight. I know the elastic in the waist hasn't gone as they are still quite new, but also they are not tight round the top of my legs when I sit down.

got out the bath and the towel went all the way around me.🙂

 

[MargB]

Yay! You have reminded me that when that happened to me on holiday with a bath towel rather than a bath sheet, I was really pleased!!

Feels good, doesn't it? Well done Steff.

For me, I have had to set up a carrier bag near my wardrobe so when I get dressed in the morning for work, I can put the tops which are far too big straight into the carrier bag for either charity shop or recycle bin. They were loose a little bit baggy but now a lot of them are just too big. Period.

Currently only buying cheap things because I have not stopped losing weight yet!

 

[lucy123]

Absolutely the same here Marg. Only I haven;t got the carrier bag yet. It really does make sense though rather than putting them back to only keep getting them out again.
I will get the bag out tonight and make a start. My wardrobe is going to start looking very minimal as I too am only buying a few bits and bobs!

I could do with Gok popping around!

That bloke never looks well to me.

He always seems a little wan.
