Nefertari's journey to lose 130lbs

Thanks lovelies!

F - I hate it when that happens! How can sizes vary so wildly? I've decided to take a beginners dressmaking course - I want to be able to make my own lovely clothes that fit properly! X
 
That's a great idea! Bet you'll be really good at it and it will save you loads. My sister is a dab hand on her sewing machine and she was able to make my favourite dresses and tops smaller so I didn't have to throw them out (was also able to unpick them when I put the weight on again LOL).
 
That's a good point! I have lots of lovely size 16 dresses that I'd like to keep once I'm under that size (can't imagine being smaller than a 16!).

Went for a 3.25 mile bike ride today. Going to go Wed too - trying to build up my fitness for Cairo and the pyramid! Now I'm in the size 20s, I'm praying to get into the 18s by then so I am even smaller! Not sure I'll make it though - at 14'11 (when I did CD) I was in a 16 bottoms and 14 tops. Aiming for 16st for Cairo so might not make it into the 18s. We'll see! Won't be far off if not.

Just realised - no more seatbelt extensions!!! Woohoo!!!
 
Ooh that's a good idea! I can pay you to make me stuff too :D
 
Got my eye on a bargain sewing machine on eBay. I used to have one but it broke and no-one seemed to be able to repair it. As a teen, I used to turn all my jeans into bell-bottoms by sewing a funky coloured insert into the bottom of the leg. My faves had rainbow-striped inserts haha! I was definitely born a decade too late...

Haha I like it. I used to use my mum`s sewing machine to make my Barbie's amend dolls clothes when I was little!
 
Oh my God, I have so much work to get done over the next two weeks. I have a 5,000 word essay and a presentation due next week and then another 5,000 word essay due the week after. I'm freaking out! I actually can't wait for the next two weeks to be over!

I'm surprised I'm not reaching for the carbs to be honest!
 
Are you planning to get started with it once you've finished your work?
 
I'm here :)

Wooohoooo!!! Amazing! Well done you!

I'll be in a similar situation tomorrow as I will be in head office on meetings all day. They always provide a massive buffet and then take us out to lunch. This shall be a true test especially because no one knows I'm doing this diet. Eeek x

Well done! Really tough in those situations so you did really well.
