be a size 8

Well I started about a month ago and I was 148lbs, a size 12. At the moment im 140lbs and a ‘baggy’ size 12. I’ve got a really cute pair of skinnies that are a size 10, so first I wanna make them fit, then make them baggy, then be a size eight =]

I’ll update regularly xx

well Im currently a size 10 but very aware the next step will be a size 12 unless I up my exercise and down size my appetite for yummy food and wine… watch this space, I WILL do it!!

I suffered from serious Venus envy today.

I was at home and my oldest friend came by with her mum to drop off some things and have a natter.

Now, she she is stick thin (not ana thin) and a size 8! I am a size 16.

BTW (let’s call you) Bella, I bear no animosity toward you what so ever, I just think you’re lucky and would like to get down to your size.

which is a more realistic goal for me given my muscle mass

but at least I can dream

now im 14 – tryied to cheat my self, but that’s the truth!

so im starting now.

At the start of highschool I was 43 kilos and I was size 8 (New Zealand sizes, probably a 2/4 in US today), I have since gained weight (now 49 kilos) and I’m a size 6 in most stores, 8 in a few, and a 10 in one. So I’m 6 kilos heavier but a size smaller.

New Zealand sizes used to be slightly smaller than Australian sizes (even though both countries are s’posed to follow the same industry standards), now over the past few years more and more Australian store have opening in NZ and the NZ market has since adjusted it’s self to the Australian sizing. And then general vanity sizing has occurred so I’m now a size smaller, even though I’m heavier.

I looked up some vintage patterns on ebay, according to Australian pattern sizes from the 1950s, I would have been size 12 back then. How crazy is that.

Vanity sizing has been going on since the 1940s, the number on the tag simply doesn’t mean anything more.

I lost 4 lbs the first week of the Biggest Loser contest and 1 lb the second week, but this weekend went away and ate in restaurants. For the past 2 days I made unwise choices in 4 unwise meals (pancakes with bacon, potato, egg for breakfast, then pizza for dinner with a PEPSI (the first in 3 months), then the next morning croissant x 2, waffle half, more eggs and bacon, then for afternoon snack chocolate cake with decaf coffee). Now I feel very bloated and my abdomen protrudes like a food baby. However, I am getting back on track. I find a enjoy a regular eating plan and ability to eat organic. I am still far from the goal of size 6. It is probably at least a year away. I will set the goal for March 16, 2010 for being size 6.

i carry weight too well to be concered with how much i weigh ir how much i want to lose. a size 8 is my goal.

One of my tasks for the week 1 is to log all my food for the day, which I have now done. Goal is to lose 15.5 lbs in 12 weeks.
