Gilley, don't despair, and don't give up. These things happen to all of us. It is really demoralising (that's why we don't weigh ourselves too often) when the scales don't seem to be moving but you'll get there. I was disappointed with the solitary pound I lost this fortnight but like AllyL says - at least we haven't put weight on.

Wise words as always from valaber. We are all too fixated on our weight, so good for you Patsy. As Chrissi says, part of our success is feeling more under control. Like you, Chrissi, I am built upside down. I think I did too many of those "I must, I must, improve my bust" exercises when I was younger. I look fine from the back.

I had a great compliment from OH this morning. When I came downstairs he gave me a hug and said "You look really skinny this morning." That made up for my disappointment on the scales and set me up for he day. Note to fellow Flabuless Forummers: all things are relative - you'd be looking at me for a very long time before you confused me with Twiggy, however I have lost over a stone now so I suppose I do look "skinny" to him.
