I just wondered... Whether you've just started your WL, or half way there, or nearly/actually at goal, what are you enjoying wearing at the moment? Or what are you looking forward to wearing, or any goal weight wish list things? Has your style changed at all?

I've only just started (two weeks ago), so I've only lost about half a stone, but I look so much less bloated on this lighter, low carb diet, so I've been able to wear a couple of dresses that I have barely worn, because although they fit, I hated my stomach in them. So that's a small win for me!

@Colours73 Thank you! I keep thinking I want to be a few months ahead, but I will try to slow down in my head and enjoy the journey. Seeing every pound drop off should be savoured! I can't wait to get to my first stone. Besides the jeans I mentioned in my op, I also have a Nobody's Child dress that I bought in a charity shop. It's in my size (16), and I can get into it, but it's too tight over the boobs. It's sitting in my wardrobe waiting for me. It'll be nice to finally be able to wear it (and eventually for it to get too big I guess!).

@Somethingsnapped definitely enjoy the enjoy the journey and the nobody’s Child dress and yes it will get big! Take measurements too, it’s nice to see how the body shape is changing (especially for me when the scales plateaued a few times during the weight loss process).

@Colours73 Good tip... Thank you. I'll do that.

I just tried on my Lucy and Yak size 14 jeans, to see how far off fitting me they were, and I can do them up!! Still a little tight, but maybe wearable in another half stone.

I've gone down from a 24 to 20, and can get in to some 18 dresses as well. I know Ive lost about 2.5 stone, but concentrating more on the measurements. Doing pilates to tone up, but i cant eat atm. Just gone up to max dose and it's killed my appetite. Haven't eaten since last night and. just feel bleurgh

I keep lurking on the Toast website. My mother can't understand it. She thinks that when I am slim (eventually) I should be leaping around in skintight clothes. But I can't wait to wear loose, flowing clothes and look slender in them, rather than like an enormous moose wearing a tent.
