Okay, girls, we have got to get organised again! Since Amy left, we haven't been posting. 
Anyway...my good news is that I now fit (only just in some cases, but that'll do!) back into a UK size 12 (is that an 8 or a 10 US???)! Wahoo! Most importantly, this is the size of my wedding dress! My bad news is that I haven't actually lost any weight for ages! Must be all the muscles I'm putting on.

Congrats sweetie! Actually, a UK 12 is a big 6. So you're even skinnier than you think.  And having more muscle is good... ups your metabolism so you can eat more!

Linzy, you GO, girl!
I'd kill to be a size 6. When I turned 40, I figured I couldn't do anything about my old age (!) but I could do something about my size and shape. I starved myself and did 2 aerobic classes a day. Got down to a size 6. Gained it all back and then some! My body just does not like a size 6!
You rock, Girlfriend! You'll look gorgeous in that wedding dress. Congratulations!

well, Linzy, first i will congratulate you! i'm so proud of you and your skinny self! tell me what you're doing to get so skinny!?
i, personally, must be on a weight-gain program. i think i got signed up on the wrong list. (!?!?  !?!?!) how did hat happen!?
ok, i have to cut the sugaa. now how many times have i said that and i just can't get around to it! ok. cut the sugaa. yes. that's what i must do.
then i will continue my rapid-fire and impressive exercise routine of one 5-minute walk a day. (whew! don't be intimidated, folks, you can't all be athletes like me!)
aside from that, i've got nuthin'.
i miss Sgt. Happy Day. she was good at yelling at me and therefore scaring ("inspiring") me into obeying the diet plan!

It's funny how everybody wishes for different things. I just got my aviation medical renewed last week and I lost 17 pounds in the past year. That was above 10% of my body weight and I'm now lighter than I was when I finished highschool. Before IBS I was 10 lbs lighter than I wanted to be, so now I'm closer to 25 lbs lighter than I want to be.
anybody want to trade 20 lbs?
I am a little disappointed, but my IBS/career seems to be a little better under control so that's the first step, not losing more weight is the next step and gaining it back and starting to work out again is the third step.

Yes!! Tell me your weightloss secrets. I feel like a beached whale right now, and I'm getting depressed. I just want to go back to my normal size. I am by no sense of the word large (trust me I don't have screwed up body image) .. I'm usually a 2 or a 4. Now my fours are getting too tight, and forget about the 2's. This weight gain kinda crept up on me for the past few months outta no where. One day my clothes didn't fit.  which does nothing for a persons self image. I wonder if its all the carbs I now eat cause of this ibs shiznit. I used to stay away from extra bread and pasta cause it supposively packs on the pounds. Anyways, All the lowrise clothes aren't helping, because they only accentuate big bellies, cause by no means do they hold them in, and my belly is my problem spot. All through college I had a flat flat flat belly. Then after graduation it got huge.. FAST. I've bought windsor pilates but it hasn't helped.. so please tell me your secrets!!

AN EXAMPLE!! BY AN INCREDIBLY BLUNT B#@$#H
About a month ago.. at my grandmothers funeral OF ALL PLACES.. at the reception after, one of my grandmothers friends came up to my sister and said oh is that your sister over there.. refering to me. She was like yes, and the lady said wow you are so much skinnier than her. Then she came up to me in front of my aunt and boyfriend who can vouch for this, and said I hardly recognize you. I have pictures of you when you used to be skinny. Now you're all chubby.
AHHHHH can you believe it. I was mortified. My aunt and sister and boyfriend sat there cracking up at how blunt this lady was. But apparently it is noticable.

You guys are so funny. I still weigh more than 10stone (140 pounds?), so I don't quite understand how I fit into my clothes, but hey, I'm not gonna argue!
Um, I don't have a secret. I have been trying to follow WeightWatchers, but I'm not very good at it! I have been a lot more active than I was (thank you Fibro for the mini-break!) and I'm starting to feel fitter now - get this...I can actually run up an escalator occasionally!!!!
