kelliv 659 Posted September 17, 2012 Shell you look amazing!!!! What a difference!!! And congrats on the promotion. I can so relate to the massive boost in confidence. NSV TODAY!!!! My size 16 work pants were swimming on me. They were target brand' date=' but I had a pair of Kmart ones that fitted better, they were 16 too. I went to target today to get the same style of pants in a 14 as they were pretty comfy and a good style. I work with my sister and she came with me into the change room. She grabbed a size 12 and a 10. I tried on the 14 and it fitter ok. It was a little loose around the waist, but didn't fall off my hips like the 16 did. My sister looked amazing in the 10 and gave me the 12 saying just try it. And guess what!!!! IM WEARING SIZE 12 WORK PANTS!!!!![/quote'] Wow, congratulations!!! Woohoo Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sueoco 509 Posted September 17, 2012 I sometimes think I'm eating to much as I never really measure things out. Will keep an eye on things and see how I go. This morning I would've had 1/4 cup muesli with about heaped spoon of Greek yoghurt and some diced tinned mango. dinner last night was a golf ball sized meatball and about 1/4 cup cous cous. lunch today will be the same (leftovers). I'm with you Nessa. I am sort of experimenting with what I can and can't tolerate so am not measuring things. Tonight I had some lasagne and it went down well. I also had some coleslaw which was a bit of a challenge! I think I am learning to slow down and chew more as it is getting easier to eat now I am 9 weeks out. I have been at my Mum and Dads for a week which is always food, food, food and have indulged in a few not so healthily foods so will be interesting to see how much that shows up on the scales - no walking either! Hopefully because they are such small quantities it won't be too bad. So my typical Breakfast is 1/3 cup of All Bran and a kiwi fruit, snack would be 1/4 yogurt, lunch would be a small tin of tuna and a small Tomato sliced. Afternoon tea would be a slice of ham. dinner would be meat/fish of some sort and about 3 teaspoons of green veg. I have to eat something every 3 hours or I feel unwell so I hope I am not eating too much. 1 *Shell* reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
