Rules were meant to be broken!! I try to make sure I drink heaps of water and rarely even attempt bread.

All of them! haha Particularly though, the snacking between meals.. ahh chocolate my little friend.

Haven't really set one to be honest.
15. In the spirit of Thanksgiving being right around the corner (US), what are you most thankful for, post-band?
I'm thankful that the band has saved mine and my fiance's lives.
lol What is it with us banded lot getting caught at least once in the car - having to pull over and pb'ing. Too funny. I do feel for you though having been there, not fun.
ReplyDeleteI am like you - can't wait to fit into size 12's. Ahh that will be a sweet day. Can I ask what size you are in now you are 78 kilos? Would that be a 12/14 maybe (maybe more 14's?) Just guessing. I'm sitting at 10 kilos more than you and are buying 16's. Hmm.
Doing well chicklett.. and thanks for posting the quiz. Love these.
Yeah I'm fitting comfortably into most size 14's now. I think my top would be close-ish to a 12. :)
