Splat - I'm 5'5 and more of an apple shape. I'm pretty sure the mystical 'they' also tell apples it's really hard to lose weight from round your middle.

Fair enough regarding today's menu! I'm interested to see how your month goes - I think that I'm using November as a bit of a trial of 1450 cals and exercise and if that doesn't work this month I'll change something next month.

I have a wedding dress to fit into next month so am on a real mission!! Fingers crossed!! But this thread is helping hugely, so thank you so much everyone!!

In which case - obviously you will do it! Keep on doing what you're doing! (Waves pom-poms)

And that is a dress we will need to see!

trying to lose weight. can't :(

So I joined you all a couple of weeks ago, lost 1lb, lost another, thought 'ok, slow and steady, I can do this!'. Weighed myself yesterday and now I've put a lb back on again. So now I have to lose the same bloody lb all over again.

10.1 well that is disappointing, scales hovered on 10 dead but stuck with 10.1 in the end...

Bean chilli and cauliflower rice for dinner not sure about lunch, will have to see what waitrose can offer me.

Frustrating treacle and hairspray.

sweetcorn Do you want to tell us what you're trying so we can use collective wisdom to help or empathise? Do you know where it's going wrong? Do you have much to lose? Apologies if you've already said, I'm a bit behind on the thread.

I claimed up thread I'd lost 3.6lbs (went back to check my start weight), I may have added a pound on there! Anyway, I have now lost 3lbs which I am very happy with. My head has been in the right frame all month so far so it's mainly just been thinking twice before mindlessly nibbling, mostly avoiding junk and if I do snack I'm only allowed relatively boring things (fruit/dried fruit) which do not spark the I must eat more response.

Having said that, I definitely snarfed down quite a few biscuits I found in the cupboard and they weren't even very nice. . I don't generally have time for an evening meal on Tuesday due to training/classes and forgot to eat a 4pm one so the calorie intake over all (despite biscuits) was still over all low. I know I was hungry this morning! Scrambled eggs with phily and ham for breakfast.

Today will be all healthy and definitely no biscuits as there are none left.

See that's the bonus of having had oral surgery. I cant pick. I cant eat a biscuit and have no desire too as my mouth hurts too much.

When it heals however........

To not too

Loving the party (& wedding!!) dress talk on here. I tried a couple on today but felt really disheartened due to horrible non-shrinking megaboobz. Looked great from the ribcage down. And the full Hattie Jacques up top. Boo.

Keira I'm soooo jealous!! I have managed to lose all my weight from my boobs (which are tiny to begin with) and need to get some fat off my ass!!!

My boobs seem to have shrunk proportionally to me,
I was a 34G to begin with last measured (April) I was a 32F I think I am closer to a 30F now

Naughtysausage - love the green dress!!

Weigh day tomorrow for me, Iv been busy all morning, and I had a doctors app that was running 45 minutes late! So annoying.

Hairspray my 32dd bras are too big now. Think I might be a D now.

Annoying as I gave lots i haven't worn yet.

Splat - i also lose from my boobs and there also small to begin with!!

I've already had my wisdom teeth out niki! I remember being highly relieved I wouldn't have any more impacted teeth pain, once the op pain had subsided. And being fed milkshakes as it was back in the days before smoothies were a thing!

I don't normally have snack crap loitering around the house, if it is not available then I won't eat it, and I'm usually well behaved in shops!

Keira your problems are a mystery to me as well! My thighs and upper arms that are the last places to start shrinking and remain well covered while my torso becomes all ribs.

I’m new and a bit late to join but this looks like great inspiration, I’m 10.8 to 10.10 and have sat around that weight for a while, despite lots of excercise so it’s obv the food I eat, this thread may stop me for going to the shop for crisps this pm...would love to be below 10 stone for the first time in 10 yesrs

Kiki I have allowed myself a festive coffee as the calories from those are equivalent to a meal nearly at 350.

Milkshake is a good idea. I had a can of spaghetti hoops last night and I had to slurp it off the spoon as I couldn't open my mouth much and swallow it all whole.

Back to the drawing board as even spaghetti hoops doesnt work.

Even when I was 21 and weighed 8 stone I had big boobs. And these days they are a 30j (weeps). The rest of me is nearly fitting a size 10! I wish I could gift a cup size or two to some of you others.

I'll show you. Excuse leggings and trainers, I was on my way to the gym.

Huge sympathy on the mouth Niki. Hope it eases soon.

If you were close by niki I'd drop you off some lump free soup. A good excuse to drink tasty calorific milky festive coffee drinks though, yum yum.

keira YOU LOOK FAB! Your boobs do not look massive they just look great. I appreciate that we have a tendency to focus on our own perceived 'flaws' but I can guarantee no one is thinking "well she looks great but it's a shame she has obvious norks". The dress is lovely too.

Try pepperberry for dresses with extra boob space kiera

Oh Keira I can't sympathise either, I think you look terrific! Being an apple is the pits: with weight loss my boobs have gone all sad-looking and my belly hasn't gone down correspondently so I just look like a jiggly... well, apple. (What an image...)

treacle we've all been there, it's so frustrating - did you take your foot off the gas? If you did it once you can do it again, and then some! I always say it's easy-in easy-off, I try not to really celebrate Linda losses or despair over gains until they've hung around for a while, as it's easy to fluctuate on water.

Hairspray argh I can feel your frustration, you're so close!

Sweet tell us more?

Keira - love the dress! You look good in it!

I may try on a couple of dresses I have soon even tho I already have the 'one' but no harm in looking at other
