So what time do you rise, sleep and eat at weekends? I think I'd be cheating if I skipped lunch then slept all afternoon! Or got up so late that I had breakfast instead of lunch.
No the point of it is to have a NORMAL day without lunch. ie, a work type timed meals day...

where is the photo Jo, I want to see your dress.
All this talk of clothes, made me remember, the other week when me and a (thin) friend went to the City, she wanted a pair of jeans but none fitted. She wanted me to buy a new top, just to treat myself, though I didnt particularly want one. (well not untill I loose another half stone anyway) so picked up a size 18 top, and it was ok, but the hem round the wrists was tight and felt odd and I said I dont like it its tight round the wrists, and she said get a bigger size, to which I said , no way I am not buying size 20 anything. She replied "just because you get a bigger size doesnt necessarily mean you are that size, I mean sometimes I have to get a size 10 because 8 is too tight"

Nice dress, Jo! You need big, waist high knickers to avoid bulges (so the elastic waist band of the kickers is on your actual waist). They're the most forgiving (and least attractive, obviously, when not hidden by the dress).
Cathy, I had to get size 18 (46) tops usually (now 16 or sometimes 14). My winter coat is a size 20/22 (48/50) and although it's a bit looser than last year (when I bought it), it's not falling off. I don't trust sizes to be accurate (especially as I have a size 12 (!) top somewhere that is exactly the same size as a 16 jumper from elsewhere.

Cathy - the photo is the page before of this thread...
Vicky - my Mum always watched it but never did silly dieting as we do... if I could just "watch it", that would be far better!
Noted ladies re big nix just didn't wanna put clean ones on without showering and wanted photo!

A bit late from me - but definitely, gorgeous dress and you do have a great figure in it. Okay a few bulges that you (not me) can see which will be gone or hidden by next month! And lovely colour too.
You've convinced me I must take some time clothes shopping for Christmas....my old stuff will NOT DO. I do like to dress up, it's a tradition in my family so I still do. We are definitely all dressed before opening any pressies. I also want to look slim&glam ;-) for the work do, esp as I am on the organising committee!
