  • I actually turned down chocolate last night! After dinner seems to be the worst time, because my husband eats A LOT of chocolate it if it's in the house, and always offers it to me as well. Of course I want some! But I generally don't need it. And last night I abstained! Yay me!
  • Welcome! I'm 52 years old tomorrow, female, and also looking to lose about 2 stone.

You're right that it's better to have clothes that fit at whatever your current size is, but I don't want to buy any more Larges!
