Getting into the 8's!

Yes, sorry!!!!! They're 12's so they should be really - but they're too big to wear. I'm down to one pair jeans now - shame I've just kitted out the kids for school - I'd go shopping. If I'm 9.1 by weekend - which would be a miracle - I'll buy myself some anyway!!! I so hope dropping carbs does the trick!

Fingers Crossed! How tall are u Sweetie? I have some Size 10 Jeans indoors but wonder if they would be too short for you? X
 
I'm only 5ft1 but don't worry - last time I low carbed I bought size 8 from Next and cried in the changing room! Most jeans don't fit me either too long or wrong shape!
 
Saw someone today I haven't seen for a year, she came up to me after several hours and said she hadn't recognised me because I'd lost so much weight - wow!!!!!! It's only been a stone but on a short person I guess it doesn't have far to spread!!!! Just the boost I needed :)

Definitely! I still go to pick up 10s and 12s, it's only when I look at it against myself I realise how big those are! I had to smile today tho, in Matalan I measure as an 11 Year Old Girl lol x

I used to wear teenage clothes when I was a size 6. Do you mind me asking how old you are?

No! Just wondered as it plays a big part in weightloss and having to adjust expectations somewhat. So I'm pleased you are 28 with a child as whilst I'm older (40 this year with 3 under 9) it still means my goals may be achievable but I know I can't aim to be in the 7's again as that's unlikely for me without mega strict and permanent boot camp plus I reckon I'd look older. Difficult to get a realistic target weight so one step at a time

I totally agree there, my shape is totally different these days and I'm struggling to find clothes which suitably fit now, I actually wrote on my own diary thread about whether I'd set my goal wrongly, I'm thinking now that I want to be no lower than 8 Stone but no higher than 8 Stone 7lb so I can wear my 6s still! X
 
Yay back to 9.2 this morning - 4lb of gain from going off track lost in one week from dropping my carbs. So here we go again need to break this 9.2 hurdle. Low carbing for another week (found some low carb bread so it will be easier)
