WitchHazel Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well done Pengy. I think your "before" photos are really great too, I would never have guessed your size.

One Man Banned Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Pengy you've done really well, and I too wouldn't have said you were that big to start with either! I have been wanting to lose a little weight since I went to the summer gathering at Burleigh a few years ago - and slowly but surely I have lost a little of the flab, and gone from a 34 waist to a 32. I went shopping with Anita yesterday (and spent a fortune ) but some of the 32 waist jeans I bought are very comfy and have plenty of room. I'll admit I wasn't huge - but when I met Joe 7 years ago now, I was a 28" waist - far too small for my height and build - but I got very depressed when it crept up and up. Now I'm happy, with the odd bit that won't shift. For me it's not about the weight it's the shape - I don't even know how heavy I am You'll reach that target weight soon, and really have something to show your ex-OH what he is missing Well done A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 For me it's not about the weight it's the shape - I don't even know how heavy I am A xx Thats what I live by. And don't go by dress sizes as some places would have me wearing a 16 and yet I get described as thin. Get to where you feel comfortable and most importantly feel healthy and happy in your skin.

Basset Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Wow, you look fantastic! Well done on your amazing journey. You are an inspiration. I've been doing Slimming World for about a month now and have done quite well - until the last couple of days when I've blipped out!!! I must get back on track. Well done for doing so well.

Clur Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Congratulations - you look amazing! An inspiration for me to get off my behind and lose the baby-flab (which considering she's 3 now, you'd think I should have got myself sorted or stop blaming her ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think your clothes are fab in both photos - I reckon that's why you don't look as big as your "size", 'cos youz got style, girl . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hey, Pengy, you look HOT! Well done for persevering,a nd the new wardrobe too! I was tempted to pop into the charity shop in Stratford on Saturday morning and came out with 3 designer items fro £30 - result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I wish my husband told me to eat another croissant. His last girlfriend (before I bewitched him into marrying me) put on nearly four stone in the course of their relationship, and she wasn't a skinny minnie to start off with. So I am pretty constantly policed about my weight. Luckily, as long as I cycle into work most days and fence once a week, I can keep at a size 12. Am slightly concerned that I'll get fat when we have kids, and I won't be able to lose it again like my mum....maybe I'll have to try getting amoebic dysentry again. I was so ill, but did have a 24 inch waist for my wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 - a bit drastic though, E Well done Pengy - very encouraging photos for the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 For me it's not about the weight it's the shape - I don't even know how heavy I am I know what I weigh, but it's the shape that bothers me - I'm in classic apple-shaped pre-diabetes territory and want out, fast! On the downside, it means I'll have to lose quite a lot of weight before anyone apart from my DH sees a real difference - baggy jumpers and T-shirts hide a multitude of sins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missuscluck Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 WOW Well done pengy!! You look great. It is so hard and all consuming loosing weight. I have done weight watchers, slimmers world and scottish slimmers. All with some success but have been off it for the last 4 years or so and its creeping on again. My husband is hopeless as he is not bothered and loves me as I am thin or fat so I dont get any encouragement. He is also a chocoholic, which is not good for me. On the up side, I dont get critisised constantly for eating which must be very hard to live with for your self esteem. I need to get motivated again.
