My birthday was this Saturday, so with a party (unrelated) to attend, and a night out with friends I decided to take the day 'off plan' so I could enjoy drinks. This has actually led to 2 NSVs for me, 1) I got straight back on plan today, with no problem - didn't eke out the misbehaviour - so the damage will be limited, and 2) when I was out last night my friend told me I looked a bit slimmer, and I actually felt like I was more confidant and happy - i wasn't thinking negative things about myself.
If I feel this way after just over a stone, I'm going to be an intolerable egomaniac if I get to target lol!

I have just had the best week of my life, firstly went shopping with my 2 daughters over 4 days, something I haven't done for 15 years, not even 1 shopping trip in that time, I calculated that over those 4 trips I walked for over 20 hours, another 1st for me, just 1 year ago I was unable to walk more than a hundred yards. I then went into a shop and actually bought clothes of the rail, not done that either for countless years, all be it they were size 20/22 but just three years ago I was wearing 38/40...so I am dead chuffed.
I always said I hated shopping, I think because I was too big to walk, but I can honestly say I love it and can't wait for the next trip xxx

I have one!
Its been such a rubbish day (my DD17 had to have her driving test cancelled because of flippin snow and cant get another til mid Jan), so I have been feeling really miserable.
Anyway I ordered a black dress for my birthday in March last week in a size 18 as I was hoping to be that by then, and it only fits really really well. So I now have a new Xmas Day dress. My Xmas wish at SW was to drop a dress size by Xmas and it looks like I am nearly there!

That's great about the dress! I love it when you can see it in clothes sizes - so much better than numbers on the scalesHamish's Mum said:

Yes because if your anything like the rest of us, we think (feel) we are bigger than we prob look - yet this c has said you don't look anywhere near that weight so you must look a lot slimmer!

I bought a second pair of size 8 cords today, proving that the first size 8 jeans I bought a while ago weren't a fluke after all! Plus.............wait for it............... a size 6 skirt!!!
To be fair, I think the skirt is a bit of a generous fit, but I'll take the victory anyway

Might not seem a lot to anyone else but it's a achievement for me. Today I went back to class and got weighed after being away for 7 weeks due to ill health. I was sooo anxious I was almost in tears but really glad I pushed to do it. Next goal will be to stay for group again.
