Starting my slim and save journey 1st jan 2014 if the pack arrives by then...

[Kira]

Morning lovely Priya! You will just need good fitting bras once you lose maybe another 7 ti 10 lbs. TK Maxx to good quality and inexpensive bras if you need as an interim measure (before you get into the 8's) You will definitely know when you have to buy new ones as I imagine they will feel loose.

AS for the man front, you are soooo young! Enjoy the freedom and flirting for now! Have a great day and here's to a good weigh in on Sunday.

You might find that you don't drop a cup size as the cups get smaller as the band size does. So a 34D cup is much smaller than a 38D for example. I've gone down from 40 to 34 but still a G. Was lucky that I had a few newish bras from when I was this weight before so didn't have to buy new but I think I need a good fitting now. The T shirt bras are good because the cups can get a bit emptier without getting wrinkly if you know what i mean!!

I'm quite happy with mine but it does mean buying dresses is a pain. OK if the dress is stretchy but if not I'm a 12-14 bottom and 16 top. And I love dresses - so much easier than figuring out what goes with what.

 

[pripri121]

Lool i have the same prob wud b a 8 bt coz of mr bust sumtimes a 10 or 12 lmaoo bit annouin haha....bt they stil like the onli part of me tht like in a strange way lol x

 

[Kira]

wish I had that problem! I would love to have a bigger bust to balance out my big hips! Mind you all I actually ok with my shape because it's what i have and can't do anything about it other than make it a smaller version of what it is right now! Ha! Ha!

Lol bt ur a yummy mummy tho coz u sound ss tho u have a lovely figure n yh i kno et u mean lol i wud love to b smaller lol xx

 

[Slim-Kat]

Haha! I just read you morning weight and it took me ages to figure out the 9.24 was a typo - Must be tired! Still under 10, fab.
I'm afraid my bust has shrunk somewhat too. I'm now down to 32C from a 34E. I'm sure some of mine is post baby change, but I did used to be quite proud of my cleavage. It's taking me a bit of getting used to a smaller shape. Although I must admit I do prefer how I look in strappy tops, so will hopefully feel less self conscious this summer. Got to look at the positives sometimes. I got some cheap bras in the next sale that have put me on until my shape settles fully.

If I was you I'd be booking those flights without a second thought. Even if you do get a job, any employer would understand you already having something booked, especially a family wedding. You're young and you should be enjoying every opportunity that comes your way. How bad would you feel if you didn't book then still didn't have a job by then? And look at how far you've come, those jeans are not so far off fitting now. You're in this for the complete journey anyway, you've shown your commitment repeatedly. Do not miss out on exciting and fun things just because you're not at you ultimate goal. You'll be even closer by then any way. Go! Enjoy! Never know you might meet someone and have some fun

 

[Kira]

Now listen to me Missy (from my sick bed this is an effort typing from iPad) Slim Kate is right. Employers just want to know in advance if hols have been booked etc and usually work around that. Also if lu were coming from another job you could be on three month notice period etc so employers deal with this all the time.

On the jeans front you are indeed very close. (you look fantastic in them from you first pic - and you will again). You just stick to plan and if you need an extra pack for goodness sake don't not have it. Choose the lowest carb/calorie content if you have to. You should not jeopardise all your hard work finally getting into the 9's! And hey! ll that ranting we've read here in your diary we ain't wishing to go though that again if you blip now? ((((hugs)))) tough love is what you need now to get in those jeans. I'll be damned if you don't get in to them because of you going off kilter.

Now focus on keeping busy. Pull out all your lovely clothes that will be like new once you are at goal. Those jeans will fit comfortably at around 9st 6 at guess? Anyway it doesn't matter about the number, yes it helps to stick to plan, focus on job hunting to wedding and for goodness sake forget the dudes for now! Let them chase, if they don't they ain't worth the bother! Xx
ps you deserve a dude that will worship you like a Godess, wine and dine you, always pay, preferably at least 3-4 years older minimum (mmh! Lot to be said for arranged marriages! Wish I'd listened to my other..... Sometimes!)

Definitely they will deal with pre booked holidays. It happens all the time.

As of all your dates an deadlines just do the best you can. You won't explode if you don't make the 8s by August but you will almost definitely be nearly there. If you end up doing the last bit later and slower so be it. And I think you'll find you shrink quicker now. Like my colleagues noticed tht I'm shrinking quicker even though I'm losing weight more slowly. More shrinkage per pound will get those jeans all the way!!!

 

[Lou_G]

Clin is right every lb now is a bigger % of your weight than when you were bigger

Where you staying in Amsterdam ?

You're doing so amazingly well to have gritted your teeth and just carried on.... should put it on your cv

[Kira]

I like that: putting weight loss as either and achievement or skill! Or both!!

Another day P!! A completed day yesterday and today will soon be another completed day! I'm getting so very excited for you! You should try on those jeans once a week on your official weigh day and use it as a gauge to measure in loss in addition to the scale. That is is you re not already doing that. X

Priya I sent PM not sure you have received it? I am useless at this. Will try again later if you let me know you didn't get a reply to you last message. x
