Isis, you reminded me of the song about Donald!

Donald where's your trewsers?

I'm a clothes freak. It is actually my greatest motivation. I have kept a picture of some really pretty dresses as my wallpaper. Every time I look at it, I'm reminded of my goal to control the diet and go home early from work to work out.

A whole box - literally. My most prized piece of clothing to fit back into is my wedding corset (and everything else when I was this size). It's my mid-long term goal to get back down to this weight, if I lose any more, that's the icing on the cake:

WOW!!! That's a fab piece of clothing. An you look amazing in it!

Thank you! Deliberately had my dress made so I could wear pieces from it again.

The one time I did, I paired the corset with wide leg trousers, heels and a tuxedo jacket. It looked amazing.

Good thinking! I don't intend to get married but I always thought that if I ever change my mind, I wouldn't like to wear a typical white wedding dress, I'd wear an Oscar-night dress.

Beautiful wedding outfit!

I got married on 11.11.11 (that works in both US and UK formats!) in Gretna Green. He wore a kilt, I wore a short dress in green silk.

I have a couple of target items in my wardrobe right now: one is a flowery shift dress in a size 10. It fits, but is a bit tight and clingy over the tum, so I'm hoping that will change. The other is a pair of skinny jeans, which are a bit tight on the thighs right now.

Love your pics - very envious of your hair too!

On a more boring note I managed to wear a jacket for work this week which has been unwearable for 18 months / 2 years. I had forgotten how nice it was - everyone at work thinks I have bought loads of new clothes but some of the items are just things I haven't been able to wear for quite a while. Love finding "new" things to wear as the weight comes off.

Mresta, you look absolutely stunning in those pics, and I'm sure you will be wearing those lovely clothes again, hopefully soon. No chance of me ever getting back into my wedding dress, although I still have it, I am resigned to never being 8st 3lb again, (well, it was 40 years ago)

That's brilliant Rachel, you must be really pleased!
Mresta- love the pics.
Pat- same here! Though only 35yrs...

I have a sack full of clothes that are impossibly tight, but the ones I'd like to fit into are some cropped trousers. I can't justify buying more - I've been doing that for jeans, in ever larger/stretchier sizes and it's got to stop!

Thanks Golarne - yes, I am.

I'm sure you will get into those trousers before long!

Hi Demi, I know Pilates is really good for core, but fun? Not so much. I'm like you, I have to really enjoy what I am doing in order to keep it up. Try Zumba if you can find a class. The hip movements and body rolls while you are dancing are magic! I'm 64, back in a size 8--with a waist, which I had feared was gone forever. I love the classes, can dance to music at home between! I can't recommend it enough.
