Well done Whiff you must feel a great sense of achievement - I lost two and a half stone and still brag about it!

I'm sure your joints and general health are feeling the benefit.

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.

craftyone Sun 22-Dec-19 06:47:41

whiff that is a super achievement. How did you do it?

Nico97 Sun 22-Dec-19 06:47:22

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

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!

Good for you!

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.
