You're going great, Shaz! Smaller clothes to pack means more room for
stash on return trips!

Will you feel healthy at that size/weight? Thats the criteria that seems the
most important. Tho... the size numbers help me picture what youre aiming
for... would help me if I had a picture of what you look like now.
All I see when I try to picture you now is a lovely lady with a very
infectious smile and a tangy strine accent. and impishly mischevious eyes.
:-) Maybe curly hair too.. not sure about that.. and glasses?
I dont ever imagine plumpness...could I be that far off?
ohhh nooooo!!!

LOL! I plan to stop when I can see my toes! No seriously, I want to get
to
a small size 14 or large size 12. I believe that's a 12 or 10 in the USA
'cause your sizing system is one size smaller than ours. I figure that's
another hmmmm....2-3 sizes. Not too far.

Ooooh gosh darn you're close! I'll email you a pic of me from Tassie
(which
is smaller than I used to be by 3 - 4 sizes). If I feel as good as I do
now, imagine how great I'll feel down a couple more sizes!!
Hmmm.... smile yes, accent - what accent? eyes - yes four complete with
mischievousness! Hair? Well it's there but what it looks like depends
on
the day, and my mood if DH has been away 'cause that's usually when the
hair
colouring happens!!

It seems to me that you might not want to buy a holiday dress if you are
continuing to lose. May not fit by then.

I shall make another sari jacket a size smaller than I need officially
now, and a dress out of panne velvet that will stretch a bit if I don't
quite lose enough, but will not look too bad if I lose more... The
velvet was 60" and £2.50m, so the dress will cost me under £25 to make.
If I wear it twice this year, that will do. I have nothing to wear to
the company Christmas meal, and this will cost less than hiring. I can
always sell it later!

There's a piccy of me in the ensemble on the web site. Look in the
Sewing Projects/Posh frocks section - it's the top piccy. The dress was
made to a Kwik Sew XL size, and the jacket a UK Prima free with the
magazine size 20. I have worn both several times - about six in all,
for posh frock do's, and they have just been to the dry cleaners (along
wiv me wedding dress, wot I am aiming to get back into eventually!).

Email me for more details if you really want it. I'd be glad to see it
go to a good home. I can do more betterer pix if you want them.

Woo Hoo! Absolutely with you all the way! BTW - one of the friends that
made it to WW last week and was all excited didn't turn up this week. The
reason? She'd put on weight! Sheesh ain't that the whole purpose of going?
To go regardless of which way the scales go? Lord knows mine have gone up
plenty of weeks.

That's the real test! If you are really committed, you go regardless,
and they help you keep on track and not lose heart when the ups happen.
Ups can happen for so many reasons, from time of the month to
bereavement, birthday celebrations to depression gobbling. WW meetings
help me get back on track. They also help me see what puts in an up and
avoid it next time.

Okay I don't know how I did it but I lost 2 kilos this week which is 4.4
pounds - wow not too bad! That's a total in 10 months of.....42.5 pounds
(19.3 kilos). I had to go shopping for shorts the other day because I
didn't have any. I bought 2 pairs - one was a size 16!!!! Yaaaay!
