MY NEW YEARS XENICAL DIARY

[Rachgleeson]

lol jude i think it will be a long time till i could be classed as a bay watch woman, if i was running down the beach well i would dread to think lol. The kids are so excited, we dont normally get to do anything like this as our holiday is in england visiting my family and couldnt afford to do everything. So were going to head down sunday morning i think, then come back monday late in the evening. cant wait, i am worse than a child!!

well i fit into a size 18 pair of denim cropped jeans today. only thing is i am convinced the size is wrong. Any i got them a couple of years ago and never could wear them, i had got them when i was on a diet and was hoping to slim into them, at the time i didnt but now i have so made up, so even if the size is wrong at least i know i have achieved something anyway

If the label says 18 then they must be! Well done and enjoy the feeling of wearing a smaller size.

 

[Rachgleeson]

thank you so much i am enjoying it, i wont want to take them off again incase it was a fluke lol

 

[bunny_hops]

lol!...aw this is great news for you hun!! Bet you're well chuffed!!

I've no idea what my true proper size is, I just wear clothes from a variety of sizes, and everything is always a size bigger when you've worn it when you were bigger..so a 20 on the label becomes a 22 through stretching.. I'm going to buy a new outfit in a few months

 

[toofatkat]

I dont think the size is wrong I think you really do fit into an 18.
Look at the label and smile at the number

 

[Rachgleeson]

i just dont know, i have a 22 from new look that wont fit ??? something wrong there me thinks. Maybe that was sized wrong!! i'm guessing i am kind of 18/20 which is a huge difference to what i was. So i am feeling happy girls!! Well made up. Great day altogether. Just wondering whether to dare to wear a swimming costume at the beach lol

 

[78storm]

I currently wear size 22-30 it just depends where I've shopped. You've been doing the hardwork so enjoy wearing a size 18.

 

[Rachgleeson]

Thanks storm

Hi Rach!!

Your still doing so well!! Well done you!!

I went to the Next sale last week and instead of buying home stuff, shoes and accessories, I could actually by clothes - and fitted in them!! Even had to take one top back because it was too big!! It's such a great feeling getting into your smaller clothes isn't it!! I sometimes want to wear the clothes inside out just so people can see I'm 16 now!!

 

[Rachgleeson]

Thanks passiflora, i have missed you on here lately!!

I am still so sure the size is wrong, its just i have clothes in other sizes that are bigger, pair of jeans in a 20 for example dont it as well as these, yes i am wearing them again today

 

[MandyLupton]

Well done Rach, thats great. Size 18s are so much more available in shops. I bet you feel fab!!
Way to go girl!!!!

Ok i have to stop weighing myself, i really should leave it till sunday. had a midweek weigh in and had lost 4lb, weighed myself today and have only lost 2lb. But i know i just finished the pill for this month, so due totm next week hate being a woman sometimes!!

 

[bunny_hops]

It could all still change though, a lot can happen in a day!! You've obviously lost in inches too, so that's great news hun!

totm sucks..I've finished mine, thank goodness!!

 

[Rachgleeson]

well girls i am back, we ending up staying an extra night, had great fun. Didnt want to come home at all

I weighed in sunday and lost 3lb, all of which i am sure went back on after my meal in the hotel sunday evening it was soooo good.

I did pluck up the courage to go in the pool at the hotel with liam and the kids, and i am so glad i did, had a great time!! Will definitely have to do it more often. We will be staying in the hotel again, i have never stayed anywhere thats so child friendly it was brilliant!!
