oh my god....I've just got into a size.......

[helsi]

14.....
Been doing Slimming World since March and have lost almost two stones. I was a size 20 when I started and my aim at the time was to get into the only size 14 dress in my wardrobe by Xmas. I tried it on last night and it fastened...ok a bit tight round the hips still but even so...I'm so thrilled. Just wanted to share it with you all.

well done!!!! you should go out and buy something new and lovely to celebrate!!!!

Well done helsi. I hope you're feeling very proud of yourself.

Wow Helsi that is fantastic! WEll done.

Thanks for your mail BTW. I have replied.

I'm so pleased for you helsi, that's brilliant! I know how thrilling that feeling is, unfortunately my slimming came to an end when I broke my leg and on went all the weight again so I'm dieting again now. But I'm really looking forward to wearing some of the clothes I can't fit into at the moment. From a 20 to a 14 - what an acheivement

well done I went from an 18 to a 145 last year, am back in a 16 now though, unluckily but i have alot on. i have vowed to join weightwatchers next week. i will use you as my inspiration

Wow, well done Helsi, that's brilliant. I'd love to be a size 14, don't think it'll ever happen though. Good for you

a size 14!

Well done you!

That is sooooo good, and months ahead of when you planned as well!

Fio my mental image of you is a slender young sylph

That is the most fantastic achievement. Well done Am very pleased for you and slightly .
I have just gone back on slimming world for the Xth time. I will do it this time - and you are an inspiration.

Please come and give us a boost on the "My diet started today..." thread.

oh well done what an achievement.

thanks anorak! thats how I imagine myself aswell!

That's fantastic Helsi, I'm really looking forward to going down even one size (currently a tight-fitting 20 on the bottom and 24 on the top). But although I've lost half a stone in 4 weeks it doesn't seem to be moving off my tummy which is where I carry most of my fat.

Can I ask you if you were left with excess skin, or whether it all tightened up as you slimmed? It's a bit of a delicate question, so don't answer if you don't want to. It's just that I read on a WW message board about someone who had a tummy-tuck after reaching her goal weight, and it freaked me out a bit .

Congratulations! that goves me some hope. I'm a size 20 - 22 (22 on top) and I'm not sure I've ever been less than a 16 but I'd love to know what that feels like!

wow!! well done and in only 5 months.
bet you danced around in that dress I know i would have.

bran-- that worries me too.

VERY WELL DONE - KEEP GOING!!!!!

congratulations you should be really proud of yourself - keep up good work

Woo hoo! Well done!

well done Helsi! Now you will have to go out and get loads of sexy new gear!

Congratulations Helsi, that must be a great feeling. Just in time for some new Autumn clothes!

Congratulations and well done. I really need to get my arse in gear as DH has promised me £1000 if I get down to a comfortable 16, might even try for a 14 now reading this. I am soo happy for you.

Wow, thanks everyone for your best wishes . Bran I have got a bit of a flabby tummy but you can't tell when I am dressed. Should really try and tighten it up a bit doing sit ups or something but I hate exercise.
All those of you who are trying to lose weight keep at it. It is worth it in the end. My confidence has grown although I can't afford any new clothes at the moment so if anyone out there has lost weight and has any decent size 14/16 clothes that they want rid of give me a shout. I still have 1 stone 10 lbs to lose and have just joined in the challenge on the thread to lose a stone B4 Xmas so will see hoe we go. Good luck everyone - YOU CAN DO IT!!!
