Don't you love jealousy??? It boosts our self-confidence in seconds!!!

Congratulations, it is indeed a great feeling to not have to buy something new but to actually fit in the stuff you bought because you liked but couldn't wear them!!! Keep up the good work, you're almost there!!!

Absolutely! It encourages me to stick with it too.

I do have a couple of lovely size 10 dresses that I would love to wear, maybe 6-7 weeks from now? You never know

Size 10 is only 3 kilos away from size 12! Six weeks tops, I bet!!!

I can beat 2 year old jeans... I'm into a size 12 soft leather jacket that's 25 years old!! It was expensive when bought and so I kept it for old times sake.
Now I'm wearing it - and loving it!

WOW!!! Good work!!! I don't have clothes that old but perhaps I should go through my mum's wardrobe now that I can wear some of her stuff. Please don't tell her...

Er, yes, it shows my age!! My son was a youngster when I bought it (I did have trousers to match!) and now he has kids of his own

It shows that you think ahead. When I think of all the wonderful clothes that my mum gave/threw away because they just went out of fashion... I don't know if I want to cry or kill her, LOL!

Well done you! That's amazing

Well done - you must feel great and certainly an incentive to continue! I'm looking to lose inches and not weight as I find it so difficult to get skirts/trousers in Cyprus where the ladies do not have hips!

All my clothes are too big for me now, except the aspirational trousers I bought the other week which now just fit. So today - to distract on fasting day - I tried on some of my daughters clothes! That was fun!!

Navwoman, isn't there a Debenhams in Cyprus?

Exactly! when I crave something unhealthy on a fast day I try on the clothes that I want to fit into! Works like a charm
