[QUOTE="goldfish_21, post: 202745, member: 34704"] Congratulations on your weight loss and extended wardrobe!! I'm in a similar boat, having lost two stone since my heaviest (a stone since diagnosis), and still have one and a half ish stone to go. I have had a bit of a wardrobe clearout this week as I've found I can now fit into some size 16 trousers that I bought off the internet only to find at the time that I could barely zip them up and certainly couldnt move in them without the risk of bursting a seam lol. They now fit perfectly, and my old size 18's look like baggy clown trousers, so have thrown out all work trousers that are a size 18. (not like me, normally would keep them 'just in case', but not this time). As you say, a really positive experience and a way of looking forward. I have a whole drawer of clothes that I used to wear when 11 stone and couldn't bear to throw away as I love them. And I don't care either that they're not exactly the height of fashion and that I may look odd in them, being now a whole decade or more older than when I originally bought them, but I WILL wear them again :) Feeling quite motivated now. Next challenge is finding some exercise I can do without putting pressure on my feet (neuropathy and other issues makes standing and walking painful). Swimming not possibe- I sink. Am sure my old Cher vid from the early 90's has a stretchy band floor workout section. That can be my job for the day - find and investigate, and maybe even do some exercise! Vicky [/QUOTE]
