hi Amanda
in April 04 we got married in Vegas (i was probably at my biggest then), and did a mammoth trip all around the States and out to Hawaii lugging all the cases with us.
i lost my weight in 05 and am still size 12
in april 06 we went to Venice, and all i took was basically a large shoulder bag. a few tiny tops, undies, warm top, i wore jeans and took a pair of combats.. it was totally brilliant travelling like that. we did the same in September when we went to corfu for a week. bikini/shorts/few tops/ couple of dresses for evening and that was all.
nowa days my shorts and tops take a miniscule amount of space...and i dont use so many clothes cause i dont sweat like i used to, which is great when your on hols in a hot place
so ive had 2 christmasses as a size 12...OMG you should see some of my beautiful dresses! , backless, strapless, gowns, minis, sexy, gorgeous dresses.... fashion i could only dream of before, when my only choice was a size 22 or 24 black tent from Evans
( edited to say i was there..but have a little excess to lose again
ive just joined a gym to help get that last little bit of wobble off
