How many sizes smaller is it?
This works really well if the item is one size too small as you could theoretically get into it in 3 weeks.
If its about 4 sizes too small, it can seem a bit unachievable.

Well it says a 12 on the tag and I am wearing a 14 atm, but I reckon I need to lose at least 2 stone to get in it and look good in it. I've never got rid of it as I have never worn it and I like it

Ooops over use of the word 'it' there

fatkatyslim · 14/04/2008 21:18

i've just spoken to my sister on the phone.you were right jahan,she didn't understand.she just thought i wanted to do it all
she has now offered to help.my mum is helping me do the buffet which will involve her trying to get dd off my legs while i try and get things done lol.
i'm still not sure if i can be bothered though .
you are right about the sweets too.they are full of crap.

Of course you should have a party, you've got a new body to show off in something slinky

fatkatyslim · 14/04/2008 21:21

have you tried it on recently lisa?
your weightloss is going great so you might be suprised

OP posts:
LisaLessLumpy · 14/04/2008 21:26

I've not tried it for quite a few years actually, I remember the last time I tried it I was about 10 and a half stone and it was still a little tight, so that's still over a stone lighter than I am now. I may try it on, take a photo and each time I lose half a stone take another picture and that might spur me on to make it look good If I manage it I will post a before and after pic that's if you lot stick around long enough, you won't need this topic soon katy

fatkatyslim · 14/04/2008 21:32

i'm not going anywhere.i like it here

Jahan · 14/04/2008 21:35

Oh absolutely have that party! You have help now so it won't be too much to organise.
Another excuse to wear a slinky size 8

Get it out and try it on Susie!

Morning everyone,

I've got some size 12 jeans I need to get into by the 23rd may and somewhere in the attic i've got a pair of size 10 smart black trousers with detail on the leg which I haven't worn for at least 9 years! I need to have a sort through my draws and take out all the stuff that is too big, then I'm going to give it away because I never ever want to be able to get into them ever again!!

Mindees mum came this morning and mentioned I've lost weight etc then she said don't you think you need to stop now you look great as you are..........noooooooooo I've got another 11 lb at least to lose! I'm not even within my BMI yet! Still felt really good of her to say it, I was really shocked!

Everywhere on me is looking quite thin now except my stomach which is still the biggest bit of me and is making me feel fat still, in one way I guess this si good because it's keeping me motivated but otoh I'm fustrated I'm losing so much weight and I still feel fat and flabby in some places, I really need to tone up!

I'm going to try and go swimming tonight if dp comes home in time and areobics tomorrow night, really need something to work on my tummy but I need to be careful because doing sit ups hurt my back, anyone got any ideas?

LisaLessLumpy · 15/04/2008 08:41

Well, I tried on that skirt last night.... oh my, it is not just tight there is about 4 inches of flesh between the two sides of zip, I reckon it has the wrong label on and it is actually a 10, I can't imagine even getting in it if I lose two stone Oh well, its something to aim towards, I am actually feeling very motivated this morning I have an appt with the physio on thursday so hopefully I can get myself sorted out so that I can start running again.

It looks glorious outside, have a good day everyone

fatkatyslim · 15/04/2008 12:00

you'll be in those size 12's in no time lovemygirls
it's great when someone notices your weightloss isn't it

lisalessbumpy i hope the physio can give you the all clear to start running again and it's great that you are feeling positive and motivated today
you'll get in that skirt sooner than you think .

hi folks, just a quick one.. i'm very proud of myself as i lost 1 lb !! Hurrahh!!

Its been hard this week but glad it was a loss of some sort.

be back later to read posts.

LoveMyGirls · 15/04/2008 13:48

Hi

Well done mine
Fingers crossed for you LLL!!

I went to bed last night and I was hungry, I kept waking in the night with hunger pangs (i'd had a ww meal and a banana about 8pm) so wtf is that all about?! I ignored the need to need and got up as usual and had porridge (with raisens and cinnamon yum!) but was still hungry but no time for anything else I almost caved at toddler group and wanted a biscuit but I didnt! I've just had my lunch and finally feel full! (just had tuna salad and fruit salad with a choc mousse - oops!)

I feel much better now and I'm going to chill while the girls have a sleep then if I feel up to it I think we'll walk to do the school run as it's not raining! I'll need to leave in an hour though and you know when you've had a big lunch walking for an hour seems like a mission! Plus i think i'm going swimming later and i've got a bit of a cold so dont want to over do it do i!

fatkatyslim · 15/04/2008 16:27

well done mine how much have you lost all together ?

did you do the school run lovemygirls? i got soaked and dd make herself sick she screamed that much
she really hates having the rainsheet on.

just doing tea for the boys as they are at youth club tonight.will try and catch you all in a bit

OP posts:
Mine · 15/04/2008 21:54

thanks ladies. I haven;t lost very much, its been a slow and frustrating road this time around. So far i've lost abt 6lb in 8 weeks.
I kno wthat doesn;t dsound too bad, but i thought i wouldn;t have had as much trouble considering the last time i did WW 2 1/2 years ago i lost 3 stone in 9 months, then gained it when i got pregnant ;(

DH just said he thinks i'm obsessed with losing the weight at the risk of my health. I would prefer to call it 'focused' rather than obsessed...
I know he cares, but i really can;t go to the family wedding or on holiday as i am. I need to be at least a comfy size 12...

LLL - i need to get a 'goal' item like you have!
Katy - don't sisters make your blood boil sometimes! Hope the party is loads of fun

Sorry not had much time to read everything i've missed recently, but i'll catch up tomorrow, i hope.

Love
x

LoveMyGirls · 16/04/2008 07:08

No katy I didn't do the school run, it was raining so i didn't feel guilty either! I did go swimming though and i'm booked in for areobics tonight, I just hope my mindees are picked up on time so i can take dd1 to brownies and get there in time it's goiung to be tight!

Could you buy your dd a little umbrella to hold instead of the raincover? (not sure if shes old enough to be able to hold it though?

mine my sister said i'm obsessed too but i'm just focused and i'm steaming on trying to do it as quickly and healthily as i can! I want to be a comfy size 12 too, I was a definite 16 when i started this now i've about 1 stone to go!

fatkatyslim · 16/04/2008 07:43

aaarrrgggghh,got fat club today[gulp] lol

that is a good loss in that amount of time mine.it's going in the right direction

dd is only 11 months lovemygirls so a bit young for a brolly but it is a great idea and i think i might buy her one.
i can't believe you were a 16 when we started all this.it seems like 2 mins ago and here we are,dress size(S) smaller,healthier and happier.
keep it up

i will report back on my results asap x

OP posts:
LoveMyGirls · 16/04/2008 08:01

What size and weight were you when you started Katy?

fatkatyslim · 16/04/2008 08:07

when i started ww in jan i was 11st 5 1/2 and a size 12/14 (but they were tight)
i'm now 9st 10 (hopefully less after todays weigh in)and a size 8/10
and my (.)(.) have gone from a 40E to a 34C

OP posts:
LoveMyGirls · 16/04/2008 08:13

That is totally amazing! What an inspiration!

Well done!

I'm 10.4 but still not a size 12, how much wil lI have to weigh before I can fit into 12's?

My belly is still quite big (when I sit down there is a big tyre!) which is where my problem lies I think, really don't knwo how to get my tummy flatter, any ideas?
