Nice to hear from you - HAVE FUN on Sat!! You DESERVE it!
It is quite a novel feeling to walk into a shop and think 'I can try on anything I like, nearly any cut...' so take your time and make most of it!
I did a few 'trying on' sessions for slinky evening dresses before Christmas, just for fun, as I had no realistic intention to buy
and it was fun, even on my own.

Oh Emma, that's fabulous. Size 10. WOW! Your commitment really is paying off, and your weight is fabulous!
How long until holiday? Will you start Conso before?

Hmm... I can see that I'll have to do with you what my OH does to me. I choose two sizes often in what I try on and come and show him. Too often in changing rooms we look down at our problem area and don't look at ourselves "properly".
I'll be your other pair of eyes if you bring a "wad" with you

Cheers Jo, and to think some of the clothes i recently dontated to my neighbour were 18s too - amazing stuff!
I doubt I'll get to conso before holiday, so my plan is to take the oatbran, and try and be as protein heavy as possible. If i desperately want somthing i'll have it but i will ask myself the question first, and will try and stick to pv as much as possible. i'll then assess any damage when i come back and get the last few pounds off then with a concerted and very strict effort.
My shopping companions will be keeping me on the straight and narrow on saturday, it's such a strange feeling looking for clothes that are totally different to what i used to buy (clothes to 'hide' in) but i'm really excited about it now, can't believe it's still only thursday - stoopid 5 day weeks!

Wow, wow, wow, Em! You look incredible and the red really suits you! (Pity you can't pinch that outfit from your aunt.)
It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to buy lovely clothes again and to be spoilt for choice. You've still got some nice slim curves left, too - which I do miss as I have to buy a different type of clothes now because my body type has changed so much. Wish I had your bust! Your waist does indeed look tiny.
You must be absolutely thrilled!
Can't wait to hear how your shopping trip goes and what you end up with. We'll be expecting a full report!

don't worry dd, you'll get one i promise!
well what an ego boost from you all - i was a bit overwhelmed by it all really, but your comments are lovely,
Back to posting menus anyway, forgot i had hair appointment after work today, and was quite peckish this morning so polished off my galette before remembering i was supposed to save some for pre hairdressers as dinner would be later than usual, so the yoghurt quota is higher than it might normally be, but was all i had left to draw from the fridge.
B: cinnamon galette
L: quarter seafood quiche, quarter yoghurt cake
S: small bowl greek yoghurt
D: 1/3 roast chicken, fillet roast salmon, bowl greek yoghurt with some toffee muller on top

If only we could specify where the fat has to go and where it has to stay, it would be so much better!

i love that idea anja, my oh thinks there's nothing left of my boobs, but there's still plenty left - it's just that they go completely flat unsupported!
Today should have been a nice relaxing quiet ish day, but just went manic - am so glad it's the weekend.
B: half cinnamon galette
L: about half a chicken in bbq sauce
D: fillet roast salmon, half pack king prawns, chicken breast, fillet smoked mackerel
S: bowl greek yoghurt with toffee muller on top

well shopping was fab, what was expected to be about 4 hours in town turned into a full day. we didn't find an outfit for my brother's wedding in august, but there's still time, and i've a better idea of what i'm looking for now. came back with underwear, holiday stuff (including a bikini), work clothes and new casual wear too. am definitely a 10 both top and bottoms, and one (very baggy) top from next came away with us in a size 8(!!!) also have discovered the magic of clothes shopping on ebay - now i'm confident of sizing i've no problems looking for stuff on there and had no idea of the bargains to be had. will have to reign myself in a bit, or i'll end up spending a fortune, but so far i've bought jeans, trousers, tops and shoes on there and am now eagerly awaiting my deliveries
am looking forward to getting up and getting dressed in the morning now!
absolutely shattered when i got in yesterday, and been busy today too, so sorry i've not been around, but should be able to call in plenty this week hopefully. anyway, menus for the weekend:
yesterday:
B: cinnamon galette
L: chicken salad
D: roast chicken with green veg, celeriac chips and bbq sauce
S: sweetened greek yoghurt with half a toffee muller
today:
B/L: quarter cinnamon galette, 1/3 roast chicken
S: rest of galette
D: 200g turkey & 100g prawns in luc lac marinade, quarter yoghurt cake
S: sweetened greek yoghurt with half vanilla muller
