Finally managed to work out how to do this with the iPad !

Looking very slim and slinky [tag]Merlin![/tag] Hope you're having a great day and celebrating your fab new figure! xx

Wow @merlin

@Merlin looking great x

@Merlin what a lovely figure you have and I loveyour dress.
@gillymary don't admire my restraint- I didn't have you use any as I ate everything I wanted. The compliments are nice but the funny thing is I don't need them anymore like I did at the 10 kg mark- I was desperate for them but nobody really noticed till about the 15 kg mark. You said I look familiar. I wonder if we've met?

Tried to get OH to take a pic, but they were all dreadful....considering he has a fancy expensive camera I think my own efforts using my phone and a mirror to take a selfie were much more flattering!

Let's see your selfie then, would love to see you with your new shape!

Sorry...I meant the selfie I took a few months back and posted in the before and after! Mind you, as Downton does seem so dull, I might nip off to my hosts's bedroom and sneak a selfie in their mirror!

Hang on!

Yes please @Carorees we are waiting with bated breath!!!

Me too .... Drum roll please

Doh! The light's not good enough...so sorry...you'll have to wait until tomorrow at least! So sorry

We can wait 1 day- we are experts at it Caroline. Not to worry. If there's 1 thing 5:2 teaches us It's delayed gratification.

Failed to get a good pic of me in my Christmas outfit, but I've managed a selfie this morning and updated my before and after photos thread: 5-2-diet-results-f32/think-it-s-time-for-some-before-almost-after-shots-t8178.html

I dont think its been asked before...

Did you get to wear something a much smaller size than say, last Christmas because of your successes with 5:2 or 16:8?

Was it smaller, sexier and maybe new and special. Maybe a gift to yourself for meeting some weight loss target?

I was able to wear a colourful little sundress that I bought a few weeks ago. I felt really good in it and definitely wouldnt have felt good in it last year.

Anyone get great comments at the Christmas parties you attended?

I love to hear stories about how we feel and look in our clothes, as much as i do about the "numbers on the scales" .. Body image and confidence can be so important to us women (and men!)

I think I commented on another thread that I keep coming downstairs in new outfits and my husband says "is that new?" And I say "no' I bought it a while back and didn't feel comfortable wearing it intil now."Dresses and skirts are making a come back for me at the moment, even short ones woo hoo , thank god for 70denier tights and knee high boots.
