Have always been a size 10 and weighed between 9-9 1/2 stone, am 5 ft 8.

Over the past 2 years have been drinking far too much wine and eating far too much (love food). Already have had to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes as gone up to 10 stone and size 12. Gone on to the scales tonight and am 10 and 3/4 stones which is the heaviest I have ever been and the size 12's are getting tight.

I really don't want to go into a size 14 as cannot afford to buy all new clothes again (although do love an excuse to buy clothes ). How can I lose weight really quick. Really want to try and lose 1/2 a stone by Saturday. Is is at all possible?

Any advice and kick up the back side very appreciated

Loose 1/2 stone by saturday? No sensible diet will offer such immediate results. I know people on here seem to have had good results with lighter life, I'm doing the chav version, slimfast.

Oh what's that? The reason I need to lose weight fast is going on a belated night out with the girls to celebrate my birthday last week. Everything I try on is spoilt by the lovely overhangs I have either side of my jeans Only person who likes them is dh

Ahhh, I might be able to help there... Look for tops which flow out from the bust. Then no-one need ever know!!

Don't they make you look pregnant though?

try again on the right side of the page

No, don't think I look preggers in it.

That is lovely FPF. I like that and also thought the bottom left top may be quite good as it was baggy round the tummy. Liked both of those, thanks!

I didn't mean that you would look pregnant. I meant it generally!

Cabbage Soup diet is probably the one for most rapid weight loss!
