It really is amazing how much people's body shape and build affect their dress size as opposed to their height and weight! I was 13st 10lbs and a dress size 14 to 16 (but I would probably avoid buying the 16). I'm now 9st 13lbs and in between a size 8 and 10. I'm 5ft 5 in height and just a few lbs off my goal weight. I've…

I did this! Except I do knitting instead of crocheting. I ask my friends and family what kind of knitted item they would like to have and then a few days or weeks later they have a thoughtful present as well, which makes you feel good! To OP: However, if the night-snacking is really hunger and not to do with any emotional…

Fantastic milestone, well done! (pardon the pun :-P)

I hadn't thought about this, but I think this potentially something that is going to happen in female social circles, whether you realise it or not, after significant weightloss. Women can be extremely competitive as we know. I probably haven't thought about it because I tend not to have close female friends, most of mine…

I think it's going to depend on the way you feel emotionally about your current body and shape, and what the motivation is for losing weight in the first place. I lost 50lbs very gradually (over 2 years) so although it is a significant loss, I haven't noticed from week to week, or even month to month, any significant…

Beautiful girl, you look younger as well.

I don't weight out food but I do use small plates and bowls with portions/markers/measures on them to aid proportioning a balanced dinner, or keeping thinks like cereal on the smaller side. The only time I weigh food is when I'm baking. I'm too lazy to do it all the time hehe.

I've lost 50lbs over the last couple of years, mainly due to changing my job from sedentary office worker to active dog walker!

I'm exactly the same. I'd like to work on trying to get more of an hourglass figure but I understand it might not be possible. I always felt like an hourglass when I was 45lbs heavier but I don't think I was, I just had more width on the bust and hips to take advantage of! I love elasticated waist belts and clothes that…

5'5 147 pounds 36-30-36 Size 10 UK (which I believe is size 8 US) This post is fascinating. It really does emphasise just how diverse people's genetic makeup and body shapes are. Love it!

You can use things like a BMI calculator to get a rough idea of the margins you fall into, but remember BMI does not take into account your individual build (some people carry more muscle, some carry more fat, some people have larger skeletons etc. which all impacts how light or heavy you are going to be at a healthy…

Haha, that's so funny. I think she has a much more interesting and pretty look than me. I'm a fan of her style so maybe it's just the black short hair and pale face! Thank you though!

I'm 3lbs off my goal weight but I've got lots of toning to do after that, so I'm not really sure what I'll be able to get down to as I've never been this small before.

I've almost lost a human leg! Wow!

I started my own dog walking business 18 months ago, and in that time (with virtually no diet change - I have an average diet, I pretty much eat what I want in small portions) I have lost 38lbs and 5-6 inches on my waist. I walk about 4 hours a day (Mon-Sat) on a regular basis, but it can be anywhere between 2 and 6…

The answer to your question is unfortunately one that no one can be sure of until you start your diet plan/fitness regime and see the changes for yourself, because you don't know how much of your bust is fatty tissue already. It's dependent on your own genetic makeup. Personally I've lost 38lbs and have gone from being a…

I've lost 38lbs in 18 months, I'm at my comfortable weight now. Going to work on toning but I'm happy. To put it into context I've lost 5/6 inches on my waist and have gone down 2 full dress sizes. I've built up quite a bit of muscle because I started my own dog walking business 18 months ago it it's normal for me to walk…

Say 'nice legs!'

If I'm going in a 'night out' which is uncommon these days, I stick to clear spirits like vodka and diet mixers such as diet coke or diet lemonade. I tend to have had enough by 4 drinks anyway so it doesn't really add up to a horrendous amount and I don't do it often enough to worry about. I steer away from beer, ales,…

Wholeheartedly agree.

We met when I was 14 and he was 19 through friends. I've known him for 9 years: friends for 3, best friends for 3, partners for 3. Yeah...we're slow :-p haha

Banana on toast, meringue nest with jelly (jello) and yoghurt on top, and corned beef and cheese sandwiches!

I'm snoopy by nature. Not paranoid. Big difference. Once paranoia and jealousy sets in, there's problems.

The combined pill actually fixes my hormones...I was prescribed it for PMDD and depression when I was 16. I've been off and on it since but always feel better on it...I never really notice any weight fluctuations other than normal water retention a the time of the month.

You look great! Well done, can see a big difference. Love your cat also :)

Wear my old jeans and feel good about myself, then carry on the healthy lifestyle.

Same..it's very sad. We used to be close but now she just drives me crazy. I think she has a lot of internalised problems that I don't have.
