Unfortunately I am prone to double chin (damn those genes) so even if I am not fat fat (you know in the medical sense) I end up with a big splodgy moon face. Face looks more defined at this weight without being hollow.

I don't want to lose too much more. It'll be unmaintainable if I go too skinny (plus, I don't want to skinny. Target weight is around 9st 8lbs.

I'm about to get serious rowing machine to toning up will improve look of slimmer bod and might mean I can afford to carry a few more lbs without looking flabby. My problem is my midriff.

NomDePlume · 25/03/2010 20:18

How on earth can you be losing weight on egg and butter ?! Snot fair.

HumphreyCobbler · 25/03/2010 20:18

Is she going to do us a pie chart every week?

gherkinwithapurplemerkin · 25/03/2010 20:22

Everyone is so thin!

Nom, surely 9st8 is teenager skinny. I was 9st4 when I got married - oh yeah and 22. Now I am a real grownup I would need a gastric band to be that thin.

I just want to be 10stone 4. Would settle for 10st something, not 11st something.

McBitchy · 25/03/2010 20:22

Moodlum - I swear by it - seriously. I am not even a particularly sweet toothed person and it really stops me eating

( I also used to comment on how my older but stick thin sister only ever ate crap.....)

Ducky - I am really pleased with hair- it could almost use a few more layers as it is quite blunt cut ,but with me my hair can end up straggly by the next cut if too layered. This way I am hoping it will get through till the next cut still looking 'healthy' Also prompted a clothes and make-up spree so thats a bonus

SuSylvester · 25/03/2010 20:23

me and you both gherkin

NomDePlume · 25/03/2010 20:23

I must have that weird nonsense thing they call the 'light skeleton' because I don't look thin or delicate or fragile or even 'light' at 9 13. I am still very much a sz 12 with 32F boobs and still got hips and an arse and whatnot. No back hamsters, bingo wings or rib fat though but then I'm not prone to that anyway

cyb · 25/03/2010 20:25

gherkin I'm not thin yet either! lets not despair!

duckyfuzz · 25/03/2010 20:27

glad you like it, I am still struggling to get mine in jsut the right shape, it looks nice when cut but within a couple of weeks is too long, will be back at salon after easter

no skinny minnies allowed on here surely, I am aiming for 10st 4 or so, am 11 at the moment, same height as su but have lost alot and now finding it hard to shift the last few pounds but was told I looked really slim today

NomDePlume · 25/03/2010 20:27

I am the fattest of my sister in laws - they are ana thin lollipop headed 50 somethings (although v nice women).

It is most discombobulating being the fattest SIL in the room. I was banking on being the youngest (tick), most glamorous (depends on how you define glam but I am the least groomed), slimmest SIL in the trio when I shacked up with DH. I am know it is a loserville but it does bother me being the flabby chubby one.

largeginandtonic · 25/03/2010 20:28

The pie chart is ver cool.

I was 10st 3lb
Want to be 10st (short term goal, maybe 9st 7lb if i think i need to)
Have lost 6lb so far.

Weigh in tomorrow >

Auld my dd2 had a D&V bug that took 2 weeks to leave her system. She was not right for a MONTH. Poor girl looked tiny. It was norovirus

I can't keep up.

Well done if you are losing. PULL YOUR SOCKS UP if you are not.

NomDePlume · 25/03/2010 20:28

I wouldn;t mind but it's not even like I'm with the fattest brother
