Yeah, My virtual Model is it.

My friend Ruby is notorious for finding stuff on the net, and I put her onto the jobbie, she found it for me after hours of me looking! hehe.

I did one of me at 75kg, it's amazing! I can't work out how to get it to show here, the img tags don't work on it and the html isn't reading Sorry guys.

Anyway, I find it inspiring that I can see me in a skinny pair of jeans!

Hey, guess what, I was cleaning my room, and I found a pair of sandals I'd LONG put away because my feet just didn't go into them any more, and, yup, you guessed it, THEY FIT!!!

I guess when you have to distribute an extra 90kg on your body, it's gotta go everywhere.

Was looking at a new freezer yesterday, and looking over the specs, the 300lt FREEZER weighs 86kg.

It occurred to me I will have lost a WHOLE GIANT CHEST FREEZER.

My man said, ooh, that's handy, you should be able to lift it to move it around easilly then!!!

What a kidder...

Well, just got back from a couple of days away (again!!!).

Had a ball!

Stuck 99% to plan, only didn't get this morning's snack in, but that's it. Had prawn salad today for lunch, in a park, bought some prawns, and salad stuff, and rolls and ham. Made ham and salad rolls for man and kids, and had prawns and salad for me.

They were jealous!!! hehe

Oh, and, you know the size 18 jeans I was crowing about getting into 2 weeks ago? Well, today I took them off without undoing them. I didn't realise i'd done it until after, coz I'm still wearing a size 26 shorts (clown shorts) and am used to taking them on and off without undoing them. must admit I was a little chuffed to get the size 18's off without undoing the buttons!!!

Hi guys

Well done on the jeans asyoz. Haven't tried any smaller clothes on yet so I don't even know if I'll fit into a size 18 yet. Am holding on for a while longer. I need to do some sewing and make some clothes that I can adjust as the weeks go by, but with two small kids it is not so easy to find the time.

Must say that it is easier to shave my legs nowadays - because I don't get puffed, because there are less of my legs to shave, and because I can actually see around my bum to do the backs of them again!!!

The bat wings are still hanging in there but at least at last official weigh in and measure they had gone down by 1cm each so I'm being patient. Am tired of them hanging in my breakfast every time I lean across the table.

Happy shrinking

Hello
I to need to lose half of my body weight, and if i include the pregnancy weight i gained it would be more than half. the last time i weighed myself before i had my baby i weighed in at 128kilo's. but got down to 110 kilos a week and a half after she was born. And my goal is around 58 kilo's.

I'm hoping that my fairly large breast go down to a nice firm b to a c cup i was a dd but i think now i'm about a d cup but i hope that they firm as they shrink. My breasts arn't overly saggy just weighed down a fair bit from there size i think. anyway has anyone elses breast firmed and shrunk too.

I know it's supposed to be great to have really large breasts, but i find they get in the way and are harder to fit into bikini tops or little tops or dresses.
just curious. hope not a taboo topic or hope i haven't offended anyone.

Hi Dianne,
This is my second time of losing lots of weight. I am normally a DD cup, and I have to say that I stayed a DD, but just changed the size of bra. So, I started last time at 18DD, and finished a 14DD. This time, I started a 20DD. and I'm now round a 16DD.
The way cup sizes work is that a 16D will be a similar cup size as a 14DD. So, you are getting smaller, but the cups are also getting smaller as you go down in weight.
So, it is possible that you will shrink cup sizes, but not necessarily so! But if you've also been breastfeeding recently, you'll find that you will change shape anyway.

[asyoz]

The boob issue is a good one. Mine have shrunk from a more-then 22 DD to a 18D so far. I hope they shrink a little more.

The best thing is, I have a back injury, right under where the bra strap lays, and sleeping without a bra put a huge strain on my back. It's feeling MUCH better now they're smaller! Pity they're not firming up so well, but still, can't have everything...

It's my ARMS I'm panicky about!!!

Hello

I'm glad the boob issue wasn't tabboo, iv'e gone done a size as well as a cup size, last time i got down to this weight they actually got bigger, so i really do hope they shrink and firm a little i hope to be a bikini babe one day soon..

Hey Di!

We've discussed boobs before, it's certainly not taboo... Nothing seems taboo here! hehe

LessFatty is (I think) the only 'regular' guy on the forum, and I've known him for years, he can cope with us discussing boobs, trust me. He has a great sense of humour. Just if he starts offerring to come measure any he'll be in trouble!!!

Of course if he starts discussing what the diet is doing to HIS 'bits' we'll start worrying!

Hi all,
When I first glimpsed this "over half thread", I thought it meant 'over half way to goal weight' , but I just realised that it means over half of your body weight to loose...I almost qualify...almost 120kg to 64kg...can I join in ?
About bra sizes...I have gone from wearing a 16F - yes F to (are you ready for it??? a 12D!!!
I am soooooooooo stoked! I have had large breasts since I was a teen, and all the lewd comments that go along with them. I can now buy bras in Target for $10, instead of having to spend $50+ on just one bra. I couldn't be happier! I now fit into tops and dresses with 'under boob lines', and I just love trying on swimsuits. I must admit though, my boobs are a bit droopier than they were, but hey, I can afford the bras to hold them up - and lots of them! And, they were always going to droop...gravity + age will do that to you, no matter what your bra size!

Anyway, love this thread and will be checking in regularly...

[asyoz]

Welcome to the gang, Jody!

The 'under half' thing was more a point of 'those who had HUGE amounts to lose', so you're our star!!!

I know what you mean about cheap bras! Even the difference I've made means the difference between $25 and $15... Won't be long and I'll be in the $10 range!

I would like to get my Blood Pressure tested, it was sky high before I started on this, actually that was one of my impetus' for starting. Last time I was at the doc's (only doc visit since I started the programme) she was so excited by my loss we didn't get around to checking the BP!

The other REALLY exciting thing is, I'm not needing my Sleep Apnoea machine any more! I can sleep normally now. Just need to get to bed earlier...

asy

[feeling frumpy]

asyoz - you must be feeling great to ditch that sleep apnoea machine. Little steps along the way mean great rewards.

We had a Melbourne Cup lunch this week at work. I brought in my own Cohen chicken salad and did not have any cake, soft drinks etc. I was proud I didn't cave in..... A new lady in the office noticed I didn't take any cake and immediately asked "are you on a diet?" I said No, I didn't want any and then I thought people just assume because you are larger that this is why you may not eat what is on offer. I got annoyed and just watched as everyone ate layers and layers of royal icing on this cake......yuk!!!

Anyway got through it all.

[asyoz]

Hey frump!

The CPAP machine is fantastic to be without, I didn't realise how free I felt without it.

Good to hear you got through the lunch at work. Remember, when you're finished the programme there will be other cakes. And anyway, you'll look so damned faboulous everyone will be looking at your ar$e in that dress rather than whether you're eating the cake or not.

One of the defining moments that made me decide that thais was IT! I had to lose weight was my husband commenting on me not breathing when I was asleep, and him waiting for that next breath, scary stuff.
Asyozyou must feel a lot freer without the CPAP, it's these steps along the way that are so satisfying.
Well done all, here's to a successful Cohen's weekend to all.

[di78]

Hello

That is scary not breathing in your sleep....
I think baby steps all the way.
We'll all be super lishous babes soon and I can't wait.

Hi all
This thread seems to have gone quiet and its such a great inspiration so I thought I'd see if we could ressurect it.

I finally had to give in and buy new work trousers as my old ones were falling off me. I went to the plus sizes in Target automatically and couldn't find any nay blue trousers so was about to give when I noticed a pair of 18's. Thought I'd try them on out of curiosity and bingo - they fit. These are my first 18's in 15 years!!!!!!!!!!!!
So chuffed.

Am now down to 94.7 which means that in another 0.7kg I can apply for Income protection Insurance. I couldn't find anyone who would insure me as my BMI was way tooo high.

Keep slimming
Dizzy
