2lbs seems to be about the norm! You're about the 5th person I know to say they've gained 2 lbs over xmas and new year.
As you say, that's actually not that bad. So back on track, drink lots of water and it'll be gone next week.
 
GRR!! I haven't been able to get onto Minis for some reason. I came on, all the awards and emoticons etc had gone missing from everyones posts.....it wouldn't let me post, so shut down and came back, and it got stuck on "loading" and that was it. Looks like everything is back to normal now thankfully!
The 2lb has gone unnoficially...but then it went on unnoficially too...lolol!
Hope everyone is ok and back on the straight and narrow! xx
I put a couple of pics on the new Challenge thread...didn't realise how different I actually looked till I put them side by sidexx
 
Well 1st official WI tomorrow since Dec 19th...so will see how it goes. 16 weeks to Easter so going to try for at least 2/3rds of my target..achievable if I'm VERY good! x
 
Hi Patty, lovely to see you. I don't have a busy thread like Bevs, but have a few ladies nip by now and again and we catch up. It's nicr to have someone "new" nip on, so thank you.
Oh the misconception thread ...me spouting about syns........I've just found what works for me....thankfully x:)
 
Thanks CG, nice to see you. I keep clicking accept on your friend request (thank you again) but it keeps showing "pending" so not sure if I've done something wrong!

This morning am a happy

I lost the 2 lbs I put on and then 1.5 on the top of that, so back on track thankfully! xx
 
Yes was pleased Patty....I know I was slipping into that chocolate temptation thing, so had to put my foot down! My goal for July is 11 stones, and I'm just under 1'5 sones away, so am going to work hard to get there. Oh I just see you reached your target in November. WELL DONE! What a lovely feeling that must have given you, and isn't it nice to be able to wear smaller clothes...I'm so glad I'm a hoarder and what I bought years ago haven't gone out of fashion! :)xx

Well done on avoiding the chocolate temptations - I haven't been so successful over the last few days! My weight is creeping up a bit and I fear I might have to declare myself out of target range at WI on Sunday. If I do, then that will have to spur me on to get back in range.

I love buying smaller clothes but I'm struggling slightly to find a 'style' to suit me. The choice before was limited to things that fitted which meant that I did buy some things I didn't really like. Although now there is a lot of choice in theory I am slightly restricted because I like dresses to have sleeves and to finish below my knees!

I also love the fact that smaller clothes mean less ironing!

.......that made me smile...don't know many women that actually like ironing. I only have me, so usually put a film on the telly and the pile seems to disappear as I'm listening! I can't remember the last time I wore a dress, I'm more a jeans and trousers gal...mainly because I don't have the legs for dresses....I would just for once like to wear shorts in the summer...not HOT PANTS!! lol. but some of those long shorts.....I'm very self conscious of my legs! Your problem isn't too bad this time of year I suppose, but come the summer, it will be short or sleeveless won't it? I like longer clothes too, especially jackets and tops, I can't be doing with tee shirts that sit on the waist, and every time you stretch you get bare skin.......I'm much too old for that!
Oh you'll have to pay again if you drift too far won't you...that should be another good incentive for you Patty xx
Hi Linz, how you doing? x

Wow Polly - just been and had a look a the pics. You are looking fantastic - so much slimmer and trimmer. Go You!
 
Thanks Bev, you don't really realise till you see pics do you. Sticking to plan and hoping to reach my target on time, if not sooner, then will set a new one. It's costing ,me a bit at the mo; all my clothes look ridiculous...size 22 down to a 16......love it though! lol xx

LOL - that's just how I was.
I also started at a size 22 bum and 20 top and refused to buy any new clothes until I could fit into a size 16 bum and 14 top.
Fortunately I found a few bargains en route in the local charity shop but mostly my clothes just hung off me!

I'm a hoarder...thankfully! I have clothes from 12 - 22.....mainly tops and trousers or jeans, so am just working my way through the smaller bits. :) Unfortunately just before I started SW, most of my clothes became so tight I bought almost a whole new wardrobe all size 20/22.......then my friend persuaded me to join...and they're all still here, labels on or in the packets! :sigh:.................."if only"...so stupid! so much money down the drain!:(xx
 
I'd been a 20/22 for many years so all my small sizes had been chucked.
 
I've sorted all mine out and right now, my banister is piled up with too big stuff! 'm determined never ever to go down that route again...definitely not hoarding any of those! x

Quite right too - but keep just one item to remind you of how far you've come. I've had a nosey at your photos - fantastic difference btw - but an old pair of trousers is a brilliant aide memoir!
 
I'm keeping the photos Patty.......I never even realised I'd got that big. That's me having a sit down hobby...I'm a card maker, and sell in a local shop and it's definitely detrimental to ones bum!! xx lol
