That's a lot of cm Blondes! I wish I'd done that too.

Bebe - you really don't have to eat Easter eggs given to you. Cardboard, plastic and the chocolate can all be recycled! So sling it all discreetly in the recycling!

GT - thanks for link, I shall go now while I can and have a little looky!

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/03/2011 08:58

you think piste

suppose looking at stats for last 15mths i have obv lost size, would have to with 2 stone loss but still dont really see it iyswim

off to body combat in a mo and shall kick arse

bebejones · 26/03/2011 09:10

I know I didn't have to eat it...I just have no restraint! Blush

Blondes - I know I have lost alot of cms but I can't see it either, unless I do the WW pose in my bigger jeans. I don't feel like I look any different, even though I know I do IYSWIM? 51cms is alot you have done so well! :)

Smalline · 26/03/2011 09:20

So Blondes you have lost 51cms in total since Jan 2010, 21 of those in the last 12 weeks, I would say that that is bloody good, stop being so hard on yourself, okay so you can't see it, try on something that you were wearing in January 2010 that should show you how far you have comeSmile.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/03/2011 09:52

Bebe you have lost stone so must and do look slimmer

I know I've changed size as can now get my trousers up round my waist (tho can't do them up ) :( where jan 2010 they wouldn't go past my thighs

I have pics / they are not nice Blush

bebejones · 26/03/2011 10:41

Don't be down on yourself Blondes, you are doing really well. I remember you said you lose 1lb a week, so you are doing well, and hiccups are to be expected! It's the long haul remember, & I had more to lose than most to begin with!

Change of subject...

I think I may have found a dress for the wedding in June

This one from Boden, what do you think? Thought I'd team it with a mint cardi & something like this opinions please?

bebejones · 26/03/2011 10:42

The boden links - dress in the second colour/print option on list & cardi the green one!!

prettybird · 26/03/2011 11:35

That looks lovely bebe.

I saw this dress worn by the host at a Boden Part I went to (a friend invited me) and it was amazingly flattering. She let someone else try it on and it looked good on her too - flattered the boobs, skimmed over all the bumps and flicked out at the hem.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/03/2011 12:49

lovely dress bebe do hope the bm wont be in mint 'giggles'

bebejones · 26/03/2011 13:14

Bit worried about some of the reviews that say the fit is a bit odd! Confused

Pretty - I like that dress, but not sure it's very summer weddingy! DO like it though, is exactly the sort of thing I'd usually wear. Bet it does look really nice on.

Find Boden a bit hit & miss for me, but actually they have quite alot of stuff for spring/summer that I like! And LOADS for DD! I know it's a boys t-shirt but DD loves this one she has a real thing about pirates at the moment. Her imaginary friend is 'Pirate' and she does his voice & talks 'to' him! Hilarious! She is such a tomboy, love her! :o

GettinTrimmer · 26/03/2011 13:47

bebe did you mean the blue spotty one or the other one? Assume it's the one on the left, it is lovely and flattering for an ample bust but I like the blue one also.

t-shirt is cute Smile

well, I wi today and sts yet again.Here's to next week showing a loss, summer is looming and I would like to wear some summer clothes.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/03/2011 15:07

well done trimmer for sts, esp you have been bad this week

bebejones · 26/03/2011 15:07

Yay to sts! :)

Actually meant the spotty one, but in the cream with blue/green floral print. Didn't look at other one, shall now...

bebejones · 26/03/2011 15:18

OUCH! The other dress is £95! MrBebe would have a headfit!

prettybird · 26/03/2011 15:29

bebejones · 26/03/2011 15:55

prettybird · 27/03/2011 19:39

Laugalot: I was very good - I didn't spend anything on myself (although that was becasue I have a whole load of summer stuff I bought last year that I meant to send back and didn't) - but I did spend £100 on ds Blush

In my defence, he is still wearing some age 4-5 Boden stuff that he loves although I am trying to give it away to his cousin
