Hi, thought I would show you all the dress I am wearing tomorrow for my nieces wedding . It is a copy of a 1950s tea dress and I love it! To go with it I purchased a bright red net petticoat.
I brought this dress a while ago two sizes to small. WHAT!! I hear you all cry, I know it was a ridiculous thing to do, but it gave me the determination to keep going with the dreaded diet , and guess what , it only blooming worked. I tried it on a couple of days ago and the side zip just slid straight up, no pinching or holding the breath ,or turning purple with the strain of it all. No it fitted perfectly! I can tell you that no one was more surprised than me.

By the way if anyone is interested I lost another 2lbs again yesterday!!!

I have been on this diet for what seems like forever, but really it has been seven weeks, with a grand total of 19lbs  lost!! Woo hoo .

Hi again, well what a busy bank Holiday. I have decided on the pattern for my dress, it is ( drum roll please) simplicity k2444' I have included a photograph, I've decided to go without the capped sleeves, I think it maybe easier. Probably not but hey ho!


The weekend went so fast, my other half and myself spent the time sorting out the study,I have never seen such a mess! We found some bills and documents dating back to 1998,How does this happen? I try to keep it tidy, but I give up, too much junk mail.

I actually ate a meal this weekend, I have been dieting, I started the lighter life diet about six weeks ago. I think I have done quite well, I have lost 17lbs! The hole experience has been incredibly difficult, but I will stick with it.
I would like to get to a size 14 or if I can cope with the hunger a size12.
My clothes are falling off me, but when I look in the mirror I don't look any different.how is that possible?

I'm starting to get excited about my new venture. To be able to make my own clothes is a wonderful thought, to be able to pick any colour,fabric,pattern, for the first time to not follow fashion but be unique.
