I have wanted to buy a dress of a long time. Now finally after losing 7st 10lbs over 2 yrs. Going from a size 32 to a 16 I have one. My daughter took me shopping and helped me choose. I started to put weight on when I was 8 and am now 61. My weight has been stable for a month. Would like to loss another 7lbs but if it takes me another year to do it that's ok with me. At the age of 59 realised its a marathon not sprint. My children are very proud of me and say their Dad would be to. Widowed nearly 16 years. Just wanted to blow my own trumpet lol.

Wow, well done Whiff! That's just like losing the weight of another person - who you've been carrying around all those years - or four pregnant bellies all at once! I bet you feel more comfortable!

That's wonderful Whiff and you must be feeling so proud and chuffed with yourself. I have read your previous postings and have nothing but admiration for you and what you have achieved. I am currently on a weight loss journey and so far have lost just over three stone since the beginning of this year and with a bit more to go. It's a lovely feeling getting into the smaller sizes isn't it ? Well done and enjoy your Christmas tchsmile

Well done, that is something to be proud of. Did you join a club?
I know how hard it is to loose weight as we mature.
