I came home before 5pm today yay!!
Had a delivery of bars which has made me very happy! Bought some off ebay but didnt realise some of the them were out of date. Strangely though, they taste better and they are more moist!
My friend invited me out for her birthday- a night out in London on the 12th April. I haven't seen these friends (secondary school friends) since before Christmas when I was just under 16 stone. I've always felt like the fat one with this group of friends so want to lose a bit more before I go! I have just over 5 weeks from now until that weekend so hoping I can lose another stone before then. That will hopefully take me to just under 12 stone. Thats means I will be 4 stone less than when they last saw me! Do you think they will notice?! Everyone in London is so trendy, I dont want to be the frumpy fat one!
One more day before WI eeek!

As someone who lives in London (or on the outskirts anyway) I can assure you Londoners come in every shape and size, trendy is only one of those And anyway, you can still be trendy while having weight to lose, especially if you're around 12 stone. 17 stone maybe not so much but some people manage it. But it's good to have an event to work towards, a goal for the future. I have a convention at the end of May where I'll be having my picture taken with some actors, so it'd be nice not to have as many chins as I currently have. I have long curly hair and I usually end up hiding my chins behind my hair but it would be nice not to have to do that. There's another one in July so hopefully by then there will be a significant difference in the way I look.

haha yeh obviously a bit of a generalisation there about Londoners but my friends uni friends that are going are all really cool and dress so original! I just want to not let my weight bother me. Before I'd dread going but now I'm feeling okay about going!
Yeah I might buy something new for this event to make me feel even better!
Oooh your convention sounds exciting! Nice actors? May is a while away so you could be 2 stone ish less by then! Then July your'll be noticably different again! Best of luck!

Hi Minnie meeting friends in 5 weeks sounds good gives you a great goal to lose another good chunk of weight. Buy something nice to wear but leave buying it until just before the meeting and you will really wow them. It will be fun to see their reaction. Go for it girl and good luck with WI tomorrow.

Yeah 5 weeks is a good amount, I have put off seeing people really as hated going out when I was 15/16 stone! In 5 weeks I think I will be just about ready to see them as after all if I can get to 11 stone 9 ish by then thats 4 and half stone loss since the last time
Yeah I will look for something nice and perhaps have a little splurge! Two of the friends I am seeing are around 8 stone so when I last saw them I was literally double their weight and boy I looked it too! It photos I was so embarrased as it was clear I was as wide as them both put together! I'm looking forward to them seeing me and having a part of the old me back Thanks Mere, I meant I have a full day of TS before WI on Friday oops

Yeah I love the conventions, I got 2 or 3 times a year and there are lots of actors from film and tv and I get autographs and my photo taken with them, been doing it for nearly 10 years now, but I rarely look back at my photos cos you can really track my weight journey through them.

Your friends will definitely notice!! 4 stone!! Awesome incentive for April, you will knock their socks off 5 weeks is a good amount of time away too, deffo a stone by then. Even 2lbs a week will be 10lbs taking you to a smidge over 12st, a few lbs more and you could be below that eeeek! You'll feel so great!
Know what you mean about trendy lol, my OHs family (mainly sister and army of mates), and most of who we mingle with back in his hometown in Yorkshire, are all gorgeous, slim, ultra stylish and generally amazing looking! Fun lovers too with plenty going on. I can't wait to visit in Summer and join them, feeling fantastic and slim too! My tummy would flip over at the mention of summer BBQ or evening at the pub when we visited before, because I felt so damn insecure and surrounded by stunners when I just wanted the floor to swallow me up!
This year we will be getting the right attention for the right reasons, and the Only large thing about us will be the beaming smiles! xx

Ahh thanks ED- I hope I will knock their socks off. Last time I saw them actually I was 16stone + because it was when we went to Edinburgh Fringe Festival and we walked EVERYWHERE! I was out of breath, sweating behind them and felt so depressed that I couldnt keep up with them and how realised how bad I had got. Thats when I decided to start the hypno band therapy. I can't believe how close to 20stone I was. Least now when approaching 12 stone it feels closer to 10 then 20 stone!
Yeah completely agree with that feeling. I went to a bbq when the world cup was on and it was boiling! I wore a cardi and one girl remarked, arn't you hot in that! I was like urm noooo! haha even though I was sooo hot and sticky! Just to wear a lovely littlecotton dress with tanned little arms and legs poking out will be fab! I just hope I get there by the summer.
ED youre a pretty lady and with this new figure of yours there will be no need to feel like that...EVER again! They'll be envious of your teeny waist and definite collarbones! xx
Here's to little figures and huge smiles!

My tan is from a bottle- though only wash off stuff because I'm allergic to gradual tans including the gradual tan moisturisers!! I'm just determined to be a milk bottle forever! haha.
Do you tan at all or are you like me, have always been covered up so skin has never had a chance to brown??

I got badly sunburnt one year but am always covered up because of my size now! Milk bottle that's me. I'd like to try a fake tan but wouldn't know where to start lol. I don't have much of a beauty regime, just dye my roots a few times a year and chuck make up on. Going to make more effort this year though! xX

Pale is in, it's much better to be pale than like my aunt who lives in Australia and has skin like a leather handbag from spending her life laid out in the sun *shudder*. I grew up in South Africa where I had a tan 12 months of the year almost, but I moved to the UK when I was 16 and I've learned to embrace the pale and interesting look. I do tan a little on holiday but I'm so paranoid about skin cancer now, I slather the spf on thick.

See I'm very much into my beauty regime! Love buying make up, fussy about my skin and could spend every week at the hairdressers if I had the money!
I don't tan daily only if I'm on a night out to make me feel better. I guess I've used make up to try and cover up for my lack of confidence in myself because of my size. I definately want to try and go out more natural- pale and interesting Jael- when I get slimmer as I think it is so much nicer lookin than a load of slap!
