I've just tried on one of the pairs of jeans I bought in America. I picked up 2 pairs of DKNY size 12s and bought them without trying on first because the pair if jeans I had on at the time were size 12 DKNYs and were nice and loose. When I got back to the hotel and tried them on they barely did up and were very tight in the leg 
I didn't take them back because they were incentive to lose the weight again. AND interestingly when I got them home and measured them against my size 10 DKNYs they were an inch smaller at the waist!!!!
I fell out with Donna Karan for changing their sizing but now they fit!!!! Yay still a bit tight at the waist but great elsewhere yay!!!

I had a little walk out this evening, the corner shop is a 5 minute walk from my house if that, so I decided to go and get my friend a birthday card. I can walk around the house putting my heel on the floor now so I thought I'd be okay to go for a short walk. But I hadn't even got to the end of my road (about 500 metres) when it started pulling, but I carried on got there and back and now I'm wondering if it was too much cos my calf is aching. I guess I'll find out sooner or later! But at least I stood up and finished what I started!

better grounded for a short time than a long time cause you've done yourself more injury.

Isn't it sad, this is how I'm keeping busy while I'm off - knitting I feel like a granny lol. But at least it's keeping my hands busy and stopping me from thinking about picking on lol. Hopefully it'll become a scarf for me, but if I get fed up it can be a scarf for Little E lol.
I'm soooo bloody bored

I'm bl0*dy fed up today. I need a proper loo visit surf, I'm bl*%dy hungry and just miffed off. I take Ems to tumble tots on a Friday and a lady there that I talk to said I'm really slim and have lost more weigh since she last saw me probably about 3 weeks ago. Do u know what.... I can't see that I'm slim! I really honestly can't. What is wrong with me?

Nikki I used to be exactly the same I still the big fat thing I was when I started dieting, I still do! It takes so long for you brain to catch up with your body, in the mean time you're left in a state of limbo sort of. Your brain will catch up eventually.
I've been so so bored today I'll be glad when it's bed time just for something to do.
My mum brought this months Cosmo round for me and it came with a free diet book. I've only had a quick flick through it but here's an example of the first 2 days meals:
Day 1
Breakfast
2 eggs and 4 bacon rashers fried in a bit of nut oil, plus mushroom and half a tomato (if you want)
Lunch
Steak au poivre with salad
Or
Salade nicoise
Dinner
Tarragon chicken with cauliflower (mashed)
Day 2
Breakfast
Eggs again with either bacon or sausages mushroom and tomato if you like.
Lunch
Roast butternut squash soup with parmesan and bacon
Or
Sandwich with following fillings (I'll just name a few)
Egg, tuna or prawn mayo
Cream cheese
Roast beef, pork
Ham
Cheese
Dinner
Roast cod with herbs, side salad and tomatoes.
I don't know about anyone else but I'd be the size of a baby elephant by the end of the week...., it continues pretty much on those lines for the first week, will have to read further for more insight lol.

Well it's 8pm on a Friday night and where am I? Out living the life of a rockstar? Er nope, I'm in bed!!! I took myself to bed at 7:30 because I'm bored, and it's a change of scenery! This is how my night is looking....
Ice Road Truckers
Embarrassing Bodies
Then read a bit more of my book I guess...

Why Be Normal?
HI SH,
My life is only marginally more exciting than yours ATM. The film I wanted to see is no longer showing locally (so, I have to wait for the DVD, I guess). My son and his friend are upstairs playing a video game or something else teenager-ish. My DD is playing in her room and annoying her dog. My DH is playing with DD's new Kindle (late Christmas gift from my dad). And, I am on MM, FB and freezing.
So, I am thinking about a hot bubble bath (I have one of those spa mats for the tub that makes it kind of a jacuzzi), and reading my Book Club Book (which I picked and need to finish asap).
However, I have BIG plans for tomorrow. I am hoping to attend a Rosemary Conley Zumba Class.

i'm just back from visiting my mum. she's doing a visit home tuesday at 9am. she's desperate to be out. almost cried tonight as she's very tired and not getting any sleep being in.
hubby's sat next to me scoffing gormet crisps, asked if i wanted some........ cause i do, i love them, i could eat the whole bag.... "No!" was what came out of my mouth though. been very cold and very hungry today. not helping that it's gone really cold outside. i was so hungry tonight that i've been feeling dizzy. i'm not moving up til i talk to my CDC but in know that she will say i now do need to move up if i'm feeling hungry and i'm being dizzy. i just hope i'm near the -5lb mark by sunday. it's just a stubborness thing i think. i look fine, not that i can see it but i know i must cause everything points that way.... clothes size 12/14, bmi is normal, body fat % is normal at 31.7%. so i am in every way normal.

Why Be Normal?
Hi Nikki --
You are at a very healthy BMI, but because you were heavy for so long it will take some time for you to see yourself as thin, healthy person. It doesn't help that you are under so much stress ATM.
I was the ooposite - I was thin all my life, gain a lot of weight fast, and just refused to change my body image. It certainly delayed my dealing with my weight. I do not listen to what people say, "You've lost enough, you're not that heavy,... "
Instead I am focusing on the BMI and Fat % and my overall fitness.
And, you have hit all those targets!!! Whooohoo! -- So, now is the hard part (at least it was for me, or I would not be back doing a VLCD) learning how to keep it off.
So, you should move up in plans and start to figure out just what your body needs to STS. Your metabolism is going to be slowed for some time -- so you will need to keep up your activity levels. But, studies show that it does eventually readjust; it takes time: your body thinks it has been going through a time of famine.
Your are an inspiration to those of us who have yet to reach a healthy bmi.
