View Full Version : The difference a year makes
October last year I hit my heaviest weight. I was a few lbs away from 14stone.
Not the best of pictures to show it but then I avoided being in pictures for the most part:

3 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Takhisis_uk/Me/CRW_8788.jpg)
Whilst I am not yet at my target weight, I have lost a bit since then. I am now weighing in at 10stone6lbs with my target being 10stone.
The last few lbs are proving a pain and don't want to shift. I have been sitting steady for about 2 months. Whilst I know I've done well it can be disheartening to hit a roadblock.
Partly as a birthday treat, partly as an incentive, I bought myself a proper metal boned corset which arrived today.
I've never worn a proper corset before and Mic has never laced one so it was quite amusing (and possibly a bit lopsided).
Even doing it up as tight as he could, the modesty panel doesn't quite cover all my skin at the back, even so it is closer than I thought I would get.
A lot of being able to wear small corsets is getting your body use to them, so I'm hoping that with my final bit of weight loss as well as getting use to wearing them, I can get it so that it fits properly.
As it is though I don't think it looks too bad:

Heres hoping I get to the point when I can wear it out of the house :)
Edit - Still don't like having my photo taken though :p
You've worked so hard and done so well. You look bloody gorgeous!

They're squished tight but that means I have a great view down the front ;D
Quick
This word and this corset do not go together. Bending is also another word that is made redundant.

I know - although I'm selling mine now as it's too flipping big for me. :(
you can see your collarbones
When I was at school I got called a freak because I had knobbly collarbones :o

The one I wore to Swansea last year is a bit big on me now and so is the skirt - only worn them both once - may stick them up for sale or something...

I stole a roadsign for a girl at uni, a "hard shoulder" one as she had the knobbliest shoulders ever but I used to sleep on them :p
she had really prominent collarbones too.
Collarbones FTW

ooooh you look luuuverly!
what make is your corset?
i am thinking about treating myself to a 'vollers' (plain black satin) as soon as i have the money!
what inch waist are you in that?
it gives you a fantastic shape, from those photos it's worth every ounce of effort you've put in! :)

It's a feeling that's good yet bad isn't it?!
I'm ebaying mine. Only wore it twice.
Its called Wild Designs - I got it from ebay (Sellers name is Gothic Revival (http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZgothic_revival)) It cost me £37.50 inc the p&p.
I do like Vollers Corsets - check out www.fairygothmother.co.uk and www.kinkyangel.co.uk (2nd one is in pompy) if you want to drool over some yummy clothes :)
The corset is a 24-26'' waist. At the moment I'm getting to about 27 1/2 but as naturally I'm about 29'' for a corset n00b I don't think its too bad.
They're squished tight but that means I have a great view down the front ;D

PHWOAR!! ;)
you look so happy and smiley too :D :D

http://www.goshcorsets.com/ is worth checking out - if you have time tomorrow in shampton, they have a store in the bar gate centre (it looks like an 'xxx' shop, on the 2nd floor, but they stock some awesome corsets!)
that ebay shop looks great, but they don't seem to do my size :( i'm keeping an eye on ebay, and hoping a vollers turns up in my size!!

I used to buy from ebay from a lady who does made to measure really cheap - but in my last hard drive crash lost her site address!
I'll have a look for it now. She's really great, quick at sending them out (mine was there within a week of me ordering) and fit perfectly. Was well impressed.
Mubs probably has it actually as I'm sure she ordered from her once.
Found it!

As we keep trying to tell you, you look fab. Maybe, just maybe, we might be getting somewhere towards you believing us now. Nice to see a smile too. :D

*chants to self* I don't want another corset... I don't want another corset...
I want another corset
You look amazing!!!! yes.... AMAZING! The corset really suits you, it's lovely.
Well done you, you deserved to treat yourself :)
I ordered 2 corsets from that site Roberta linked to. One red satin waspy and one black snakeskin full corset (both busk front). They fitted perfectly and you can have it exactly how you want (with or without busk or modesty panel, different material, made a tighter or looser fit depending on how you like them). I want another, but I am going to wait a while ( I want one now though).
Be warned buying corsets is addictive :evil::D
You look great Sam :)
I love the second picture your smile adds to your gorgeousness in all the piccies - you have a lot to smile for what you have achieved :)
Smile and have more piccies taken of you dammit! :p

Wow you've done amazingly well! I can't believe the difference! You've put so much effort in and it's REALLY paid off. You should be proud and definitely smile more you're gorgeous!
I know we all find it hard to think highly of ourselves when it comes to progress and how we look, but the differences are very obvious.
As long as you're happy that's all that matters to me. :)
Yay! i hope I have a figure like yours in a years time :p You look really happy too :)

Piggy - I'll have to see if my token is still valid
Tak - Don't know them at all really but I was a member of the Rock Soc at uni and one of the discount places was there and I still have my token :p
And I'm good for a detour, I'll raid my savings and let you pick some clothes for me :p
You look absolutely incredible Sam. It's nice to see you finally feeling good about your figure. So proud of you, and that corset looks amazing :) *hugs*
