julie you look amazing hun, well done, i think you and i are on par with each other, im also in the 17s, only got 1 more pound till the 16s, but my weight is comming of slowly again now , but to be honest i dont give a damn, even if i was to stay this weight id be happy now, as i feel great. i never wanted to be skinny , but if i was able to get into the 13s i would be very happy . but it took me 22 years of food abuse to get to almost 24 stone, so if it take a few years to get into the 13s ill deal with it xxxx
