I stopped drinking coffee regularly when I stopped working, I think I've had two cups in the last two months.

This is a random post.
I've dropped 12 'dress sizes' in 7 months. Yay me!

LOL thanks!

It's possible when it's a side effect of a highly restrictive diet (for health reasons) and you had piled weight on over the last 5 years, lol
I wasn't huge by any means, but I'm only 5ft 1 so every pound showed! I'm not as small as I was 15 years ago and never really want to be, but I'm pretty stoked regardless!

Thanks!
Some may be confused by the weight loss - though 15 years ago I was a size 0-2 US size - size 4ish UK, especially as I've also gone from being a dark brunette to a blondie!

The what to do for work thing is now here
It is worth its own topic as it is relevant to many of us out there.

But 12 dress sizes, Siouxie? Or do you mean like from a size 24 to a size 12 which is actually only 6 dress sizes but 12 numbers. I'm picturing you as a tiny fairy flitting through the sky bestowing sparkles and sprinkles on everyone and everything.

That is fantastic news and I'm so pleased for you and your health. WTG !!!

Ah - ok... spoilsport, lol.

Here in Canada, Petite dress sizes go 1-3-5-7-9-11-13-15-17-19-21-23

while Ordinary dress sizes go 0-2-4-6-8-10-12-14-16-18-20-22-24

(Not forgetting the XS/S/L/XL/XXL/2XL/3XL/4XL)

So technically I may have dropped 6 of ONE of those - but as I wear both petite and ordinary sizes, I think I dropped 12!

Let's just say I'm 1 (or 1/2, depending on how you interpret it, lol) size away from my size of 15 years ago!

As to the fairy comment, lol, when I was a little one and the school nurse used to weigh us (remember those days?) she used to call me the little fairy, because I was so tiny and so light. Consider yourself sprinkled with love and happiness dust and 'legal sparkly sprinkles'!

congrats Souxie, it's tough to lose weight, so easy to put it on when you don't want to.
