But I'll keep on going something may shift at some point ! I'm a label remover as I hate the feel of them on my skin rather than to hide the size. I dont have much joyfinding things in my size at Charity shops..

I seem to have hit another plateau but I am tightening things up and that is just as good. I wish I carried my weight as well as you, but since I developed osteoporosis and shrunk almost two inches, I don't.<br /><br />I am, however, starting to like where I am and how I look.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-52249265724803561922019-11-08T19:14:55.941+00:002019-11-08T19:14:55.941+00:00I have been around 13st 7lb for a year or more now...I have been around 13st 7lb for a year or more now, and at 5ft 5in do not carry it as well as you, definitely too much round my tummy area (the things I publicly discolose on your blog!). I will join you in trying to lose a few pounds. I have vaguely promised myself to be 13st at Christmas/end of the year. We have no excuse now we are on the edge of the Yorkshire moors and no work until March so plenty of opportunity to get out and walk - if only this rain would stop!AlisonB43https://www.blogger.com/profile/08351165562595634549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-62644978124269105282019-11-08T18:16:47.023+00:002019-11-08T18:16:47.023+00:00I too have a wardrobe of clothes in all sorts of s...I too have a wardrobe of clothes in all sorts of sizes. From a 14 to a 20. I don't weigh myself often and only 'worry' about it if my trousers get too tight. I'd love to be a bit smaller, but life is too short to worry too much about it. Your tops are very nice by the way!<br />ps, thanks for your good advice previously. It's a work in progress. xMarksgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870471905590321642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-44237227395943068342019-11-08T17:50:21.436+00:002019-11-08T17:50:21.436+00:00Clothing sizing infuriates me.

I'm 5'2" and currently 9st9lb, I was 8st for most of my adult life. 9st is my preferred weight. But I fit in in my clothes, with a few snug ones. I look at arm length and body length on clothes more than anything. Being short both make clothes look awful on me if I'm not careful.

I am only 5'2 and I did weigh 17st 9 but am now 15st 6. It has taken me since May to lose that amount after years of nearly all the diets going, this time I just cut out dairy ( already didn't eat meat, fish or eggs ) and ate more of a healthy diet and if I ate a ton of chips I enjoyed them and ate a little better the next day. At last I am becoming content in my own skin , this is me , not perfect but perfectly imperfect, and it's chips tonight :) Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609459363474953670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-18068328208240267702019-11-08T13:21:07.138+00:002019-11-08T13:21:07.138+00:00I find most labels do itch and yes, if they do I c...I find most labels do itch and yes, if they do I cut them out too.<br />Sizes are weird. I've stopped looking except as a starting point really. And I flatly refuse to look at 'fitted' T shirts. They have to be 'straight'.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-72887421249744566862019-11-08T12:45:19.971+00:002019-11-08T12:45:19.971+00:00I've got size 10 tops that are smaller than 16...I've got size 10 tops that are smaller than 16s as well. I think part of the problem is that tops, especially, used to be more 'modest'. These days they are cut to cling to the body, but not everyone wants to go around putting their best front forward!!the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-82698440137067654622019-11-08T11:42:08.189+00:002019-11-08T11:42:08.189+00:00Sizing of clothes these days is ridiculous.

Shame I'm not a size 8/10 as there are always plenty of clothes in these sizes in the charity shops. Mrs LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070413740231580278noreply@blogger.com
