Nice!
Very nice!
Very, very nice!
Both shopping AND aspiration!!!

Size 14 is brilliant, you must be so chuffed! I'm sure you'll be rocking the pink linen before the summer begins at the rate our summer is going this year!
Well done! :0)

I have some yellow denim shorts that I aspire to fitting in. They are so cute and summery, I know I will feel fantastic when I wear them.

They are a long way off fitting at the moment though, but thanks for the idea. I'm going to look forward to working my way down to them instead of feeling grumpy that I don't fit yet.

Thank you

Hi Caroline. Your post made me smile so thank you for sharing

Well done Caroline they sound great. When the sun came out the other day (remember that?) I dug out some 3/4 trousers that I have never fitted into, I was in denial when I bought them I think! Anyway, can't quite fit yet, but I actually think I may get there! I am going to hang them up and wait and see.

Well done, I bet that was a huge boost .

I picked up the 5 pairs of trousers I had had altered from a 16 to a 14 - it felt so good that they fit so well now. The woman asked if I was planning to lose any more weight - she said the trousers wouldn't take any more taking in . I said no, I'm quite happy with all my "new" trousers!

Brilliant - well done Caroline - fantastic feeling - pink linen sounds fab

Well done and I love the aspirational hot pink trousers - hot pink is very aspiratiional LOL I bought some aspirational trousers a few weeks ago and wore them out although I was in danger of showing bum crack to all and sundry!

I think you've started something here.....aspirational clothes. I bought a white summer dress in the sales last year - 'one size'. As we all know 'one size' doesn't fit all. I did manage to squeeze into it but had so many lumos and bumps. My aim is to wear it on holiday next year and look good in it.

Well done Caroline on getting into the size 14 trousers. What a boost it gives you to be in a smaller size. Won't be long before you get into the hot pink (my favourite colour) linen trousers. Bet you'll have a smile on your face as you walk out in them. The aspirational clothes are a better way of measuring (IMO) how well we are doing on the 5:2 than numbers on the scales.

Great news Caroline. Size 14.... Whooowhoo.
I know you will enjoy wearing them.

Update: just tried on the hot pink aspirational trousers and they fit! albeit rather tight and only top be worn standing up for now but, hey, they do up! Very pleased!

Well done Caroline. Such a great feeling to fit into our aspirational clothing,very inspirational.

That's fabulous. Size 14! My new pants are size 15. They fit perfectly. I have considered buying some size 14 but I think I'll just wait for summer. I'm going to offer my good quality-only-purchased-at-the-start-of-winter pants at a market stall, trading them for local currency.

Hooray for inspirational trousers!!! Got mine lined up but I think it may take a while lol x
