First dress in 40yrs

That is wonderful. Amazing you! Particularly like your attitude about losing it slowly. That seems to be the way to keep it off. You must feel inwardly thrilled at your success and appearance. So you should be.

Whiff, congratulations !

You have done so well. You must have been very determined and it has paid off.
As it’s taken you so long you, hopefully, will find it easier to keep it off than those who lose it quickly.
Has it made life much easier?

I have lost nearly a stone after illness but unfortunately none from waist or tummy area. I can't get into any of my good trousers so will be in elastic waisters for Christmas.

Excellent, congratulations and well done you
total determination and you deserve to be very very proud

Wonderful! Like everyone else here, I think you have done extremely well. And so has everyone who has told us that they have managed to slim down. Happy Christmas, and enjoy the Dress. t

Brilliant! It's so hard to lose weight especially as we get older. So you have done well .

They should have an emoji with a gold cup or a star for you, that's amazing well done

Whiff - "Just wanted to blow my own trumpet lol."

And so you should. That is an incredible achievement and I can imagine it's been quite a hard slog for you.

Enjoy showing off your new svelt shape in your new dress.

How absolutely lovely - well done you. I noticed when I thinned that people were just instantly 'nicer' to me in some indefinable way, it made daily life a lot less of a hill to climb.

How wonderful. Well done you. Your family must be so proud of you. You should be proud of yourself. You blow that trumpet loudly for all to hear.

So well done. Enjoy the dress. Well deserved.

Hurrah. Feel wonderful in your new dress.

Oh wow! What an achievement!

Well done!

You get out there in 2020 and get yourself a whole slew of sassy dresses, you deserve them!

So well done! Sounds as though you need to treat yourself in the January sales ?

Congratulations

That's a wonderful achievement, huge congratulations.

When did you last have a holiday? Now you can show off!

Fabulous achievement. That’s so hard to do. Do love wearing a dress. They’re so much easier than matching things together. You will look gorgeous in it!

FABULOUS....I am so pleased for you.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a super smashing 2020??

Brilliant, well done, don't you dare put it back on after all your hard work. Enjoy your lovely dress, wear it with pride, enjoy yourself.

Wear it with pride, and joy!

That is incredible... what an achievement.... you have every right to blow your own trumpet! Well done.

Clever lass. You must feel like the cat who swallowed the (low fat) cream. Maintaining is often harder in it's way than losing , keep as focussed as you have been while losing, enjoy your new body !
