That's a brilliant result. Well done

Thanks tilly, I do feel back on track and more determind than ever, people have noticed that I have lost weight and its feels good. xx

Well done Jane, that's a fab loss! Glad you're back on track now, and it's really good that you feel motivated again. You'll get your new shiny next week I'm sure

I replied on my diary about the Christmas countdown ticker xx

Thanks Lily, glad you have sorted your problems out and you are back on track yourself, missed your talks, things are getting done here, kitchen is great its only small but fully loaded waiting for me to use. I am more determind and focus again, sorted out my clothes, I am in size 22's and I can get into my size 20 jeans with a squeeze so not long now. xx

 

[Lily42uk]

Well done for being focused and big , I got my size 20 Jeans on but need to lose about 2 more inches off my waist, my daughter did them up and I felt like I was being cut in half lol...but by Christmas they should be well and truly on and done up ...so good luck to both of us.
Can't wait to see Kitchen pics, bet it's lovely xxx

Thanks Lily its nice to have you back, you always brighten my day up, kitchen is lovely and so bright, new dining set being delivered tomorrow.
Can't believe it myself sometimes that I am actually in a size 20/22 from a size 28/30 and bra size 56f to a 46c, for christmas I said I would like to be in my 20 jeans but hopefully might have to change that to a size 18 hehe :8855:, its a lovely feeling, made a christmas wish to lose 1.5st by christmas and stuck it on our sw class christmas tree, have you made a christmas wish at your sw class.

 

[Lily42uk]

Hey Jane,
We did the Christmas Wish last xmas but C says he likes to do different things each year, so he has asked us to do the Christmas wish on calendars at home, but what he has done for class is the Christmas Hamper, every week he and we bring in something to put in the hamper and for every lb lost we get a raffle ticket, so week before last I got 4 tickets and this week even though I only lost 1/2lb I still got a raffle ticket and so on up to wi before Christmas, then depending on how much stuff has been brought in he will divide them up into hampers (by the looks of what has been brought in so far I'd say we are going to have a few hampers) and then draw the raffle tickets, obviously the more weight you lose the more tickets you get, you would have got 6 tickets in our group this week for your 5.5lb loss.
There are some lovely things going into the hamper, not all SW friendly and not all food, on Tuesday we got After Eights and candles and a lovely scarf, people are very imaginative and generous too.
I am hoping to lose about another stone by Christmas ...any more would be fantastic but in January I set myself a goal of being about 18 and a half stone and I am 14.5lbs away from that and as my average weekly loss (due mostly to heavy steroid intake) is 1.5lbs a week, I am well on target to get there.
Good luck with your wish xxxxxxxxx

I think that’s a lovely idea and may suggest that to my C on thur and see what she thinks, you will defiantly get to your goal by christmas I know you will, I would like to be in the 15st by this Christmas, never been that weight since I got married 31yrs ago, also I would like to get to 10st my target by Christmas 2012.
Can’t wait to see what we may look like on Christmas day with our new size Jeans on. xx

 

[Lily42uk]

For now I am loving the fact that everything I own, bar a few tops, is actually way too big on me...even stuff I bought just a few short months ago and was really tight is now hanging off me ...so ebay here I come...I have 4 black sacks of really decent clothes that are way too big for me ...most of them 28-32's ...I didn't realise until yesterday when I washed them all, that I had so many pairs of white jeans lol...7 pairs...if anyone had asked me to hazard a guess I'd have said 2 pairs tops lol...and they look brand new ...must be, almost anyway, as I don't ever remember wearing them other than at my 50th Birthday party lol
Would be a great idea to suggest the hamper idea to your C, with 10 more wi's till xmas there would be plenty of time to get loads of stuff for them xxxx

I would love to wear white jeans, that's what I would love to wear bright coloured Jeans and tops ie lemon, white and pink ones, I only wear dark colours, I sorted my clothes out today and have 2 black bags full.
The hamper idea is defiantly a plus it will encourage others to help lose more. xx

 

[Lily42uk]

I have never worried about wearing colours, I have always loved them, got a pair of yellow jeans and pastel green ones too in my black sacks and loads of gorgeous brightly coloured tops too, as well as some black, not much dark blue though and I love blues ...can't wait to get out there and get all the lovely brightly coloured clothes I have seen while out and about.
Absolutely the hampers are intended to do exactly that...although to be honest the only ones getting any big numbers is me and my daughters lol
Well I will say nighty night and sweet dreams catch you on the morrow xxxxxxx
