Thought I was looking a bit slimmer when I looked in the mirror so measured my waist and I've lost about an inch and a half! Thank you Ms. Gasper! 🙂

Well done Alan - thats really good. See it isn't all about the scales🙂
 
Bought a top today in a size I would normally buy and it huge going to have to take it back :D:D
 
..and make sure you explain in a very loud voice why you have had to take it back too Sheilagh!
 
I've just had to replace the belt on my work trousers since my trousers kept on slipping down.

I was starting to look like a teenager...
 
Ha Ha - Kevin and Perry hey!
Thats great - I always like when things need to be taken in or go down a size.
Well done.
 
Well done Mark🙂
 
Well done - Sheilagh you are going to have to try on everything and I usually take two sizes in with me. Every now and then I will explain it is because I have lost so much weight! Yay!

Little victories but they feel gooooooooooood
 
Kind of a strange NSV :D...

My friend and I went to the Take That concert last night, we walked from my house (30 mins), then stood and danced for 3 hours then had a 40 min (all uphill) walk back. Two years ago before I had lost the weight there is no way I would have managed the walk never mind standing on my feet for 3 hours 😱!
 
Got told I had amazing bone structure yesterday! 😱

Went very bashful, never been told that in my life 😱
 
I took my wedding ring in to be re-sized yesterday. Apparently it needs to come down 2 sizes!
 
Well done Mark and Emma thats 2 big victories to be proud of x
 
After my friend last week telling me I looked like a wife borrowing her husbands' oversized jeans (!), I bit the bullet and bought the next size down (16). I'm reluctant to spend ??? on size 16 clothes as I don't want to be in them too long!

Bought the size 16, put them on at home and discovered I don't need to undo the button or fly to take them on or off. Maybe 14 will be sooner than I think!

Someone didn't recognise me! Whoohoo. Lovely couple I only see once in a blue mooon but have got to know them and usually sit and chat for a while. I sang at their daughter's wedding and was there a couple of years later for the baby's christening etc. Anyway, I was chatting away to the husband and his wife looked at me every now and then and just vaguely smiled but suddenly she said "oh, it's you!! You have lost some weight haven't you? - I didn't recognise you." Yaaaaayy!

If felt really, really good.

Silly I know but ...
