[binkleandflip]

Here we are!!

We believe you.....

Lovely dress Lyra...
... it says in the description the size is XL 12-14 .

You lot are going to look positively sylph-like compared to me.

See how selfless I am

Bloody hell, no wonder i had such trouble. I tried on 12 dresses in total. The first six I took in were all medium and I couldn't get most of them over my hips. I had to swap them all for Ls and XLs.
I did buy the XL in the end, feeling very fat indeed. Glad to hear it's only a 12-14.

So are you saying you've deliberately put on weight just to make us look good? I agree, that's completely selfless of you.

Am torn between a 5 day soup diet or stuff it...what is wong with us all that we are bovvered about how fat we are?

Stuff it Berrie. I have! That's what spanx are for.

Stuff it. I'm sure none of us are avtually fat.

actually.

One very welcome side effect of this AD is since I've beeen on it i've lost 5lbs. Great!

I am actually fat Lyra sad to say and usually the spanx do it enough for me...unfortunatly...I'm not sure that even my Spanx can save me now

Good old AD's...

You don't look fat in your pictures.

Why do you think I chose those ones !

Ahem... I am not fat.

I am however; traditionally built/pleasantly plump/a bouncer rather than a rattler (as dh is fond of telling me )/hollow backed (thanks Berrie for that one )/curvy/voluptuous/fuller figured.

Bugger the diet Berrie. I have.

I think we need to sort out when/where we're going to meet next week. Maybe we should all meet on messenger at an appointed time and discuss it there (lest any unwanted visitors should show up).

DS asked me if there was a baby in my tummy today

Yes and exchange mobile numbers...

I went for a walk up to the slidey park today which was a good start to regaining fitness...

what does hollow backed mean?

Am in London Fri/Sat to see Lewis in Jo so dont all go on messenger without me (those I suppose you probably wouldnt seeing as I have the tickets and all ) I am dizzy with power!!

Only kidding. I am absolutely paranoid about these tickets - having irrational nightmares about them blowing out of the car window on the way down the M1

p.s. I cant type today at all can I??

I can't get on messenger Can we email instead?

And I'm 'nicely plump'. I curve in and out, it's just that the curves are a bit more pronounced than I might like . Yep - 2 stone overweight!

I am size 14 - 16 though I am slowly (PAINFULLY SLOWLY!!) edging my way to just a comfy 14. Would be, WILL be (positive thinking lol) very happy to be a comfy 12 again. I cant use the excuse 'I've not long since had a baby' any longer what with dd being 5 and all

My Mum used to say I had a hollow back when I had trouble buying jeans as a child...I carried on thinking this well into adulthood until I realised that what I actually have is a large bottom!
I am a size 18/16...meaning I'm an 18 but because of vanity sizing, I wear a 16 on the bottom nowadays.(only in some shops)

but youre quite tall Berrie is that right? I am a miniscule 5' 1" - with a very hollow back lol
