Labels are meaningless these days. I recently took two pairs of trousers from Matalan sale rail into the changing room, both size 16. One of them wouldn't do up, and the other was too big (and a 14 was perfect). Guess which one got as far as the till!

LOL crazy isn't it - and as for bras - don't even go there!
I've had a lovely surprise through the post. My Slimming World group leader has sent me a 'Star of the Week' letter. I haven't won any awards recently because my losses are slowing, but this is a pat on the back for showing up every week and helping others who are struggling. Nice to be appreciated. 🙂

That's what I thought a year ago! All it takes is a smidgen of stubbornness.

AAArr [scream] aaarrr [scream] Just tried on a few things, and they fit!! - can now get my size 14 skinny legs on and a summer jacket which was too small last year, plus some tops aaarrrr [scream]. told myself to remember this feeling. Downside is, apart from those who now I'm loosing weight, only 1 person has noticed! 
Perhaps because I've been wearing the same (now baggy) clothes LOL
Perhaps because I've been wearing the same (now baggy) clothes LOLI think it's harder for people who see you every day to notice weight loss - if you see someone who hasn't seen you for ages they will notice I am sure
Also some people don't like to say for fear of offending!
ION I left half my clothes in Australia as they were beyond not fitting and I need to get a new belt as used up all the holes on my old one YAY

Also jealous on the cakes. Still at the stage in dealing with the D that I just don't do sweet stuff at all because am terrified of what it will do to me! Mainly satisfying sugar cravings with a bit of fruit, yoghurt, and sugar free jelly occasionally. I really really miss cake

Not sure if this is a 'victory'... it could be expensive!
Due to an arthritic big toe and wide feet, it's very difficult to find shoes to fit me, so I tend to wear the same ones until they fall apart. I have just one pair of sandals, bought ten years ago when I was at my biggest. They didn't come out at all last summer. With the nice weather and freshly painted toenails, I thought it would be a good idea to wear them today. Aaargh! They're distinctly loose, and I'm not sure I'll be able to walk far in them, let alone cycle safely.
