Ok, im going to report two!

Yesterday whilst out with work colleagues, one who has not seen me since September, said as i took my coat off, "you have lost so much weight!", made me feel good that did,

and today whilst doing the shopping (nightmare, sooooo busy, yuk), my jeans kept coming down 😱, not falling down, but i had to keep hiking them up as i felt like one of them stupid teenagers who wear their jeans under their underwear 😛
 
Good, good!

When're the new clothes going to start getting bought then?

Maybe the WLG can kick start the recovery in this country through increased clothing sales? 🙂

(I've already done my bit!)

Well done Tracey - it is so nice when people who don't know you have been trying to lose weight tell you, isn't it.

Yes it is, and I thinnk they notice more because they havent seen you in a while!
 
It is a good feeling when people actually comment. I have discovered that if I wear black jeans and a black polo shirt to work on Friday (our dress down day) then loads of people will say how well I look and how did I manage to lose weight!

Well, as I have lost so much but still have more to lose I am not renewing the wardrobe just yet. However, was worrying about dressy things for Christmas until I tried on an old favourite outfit which I had not been able to fasten for years. Whoohoo!!! Wore it out last Thursday and it was great. A lovely purple colour which is back in fashion too. Yay!!

As for day to day office wear, most of my tops have been taken in by just sewing up along the side seams!
 
I've just got a new set of knickers -2 SIZES SMALLER!! They're still very much Bridget Jones knickers - but hey, who cares.
 
Well done MargB - how nice a new outift to wear that costs nothing.

Hey Anita - dont knock big knickers they helped Renee pull Hugh Grant! Well done!
 
My resting pulse rate is now down below 50 for the first time in months! 🙂 Now 48 bpm!
 
these things can give you a bigger boost than losing weight!

Well done Northey.
 
I went to the gym last night and must be the first time for about a month with all the Christmas things going on. My gym stuff is now huge and I am going to have to buyer smaller. I prefer baggy outfits in the gym but this is no longer baggy, just far too big.

Result!
