The Target Dress

by Melanie Cheeks on 27 Jul 2013, 19:58

Whe I first started losing weight, I was 157 pounds, and in a size 14 (in fact some of my trousers were 16s)

I used MFP and calorie counting, and got done to under 140 pounds, and was back into most of my size 12 wardrobe. Over Christmas I got a bit lazy, went back up to 145 pounds, and started 5 and 2ing. And after a few months I was wearing size 10s.

A while back, I saw a link on Mumsnet to a gorgeous dress in Jaeger. But it was £175, and out of my budget. I kept an eye on it, and last month it was down to £99. This week, I saw it reduced to £75 online (and I got a 10% discount on top of that). Only snag was - it was only available in an 8. I thought I'd order it anyawy, and it could be my target dress.

It arrived today.

I tried it on.

It fits!!!!

Still cant quite get my head round the fact that I'm an 8. But still really enjoying this way of eating.

Fasting is mental!
