During at the running around this weekend. My dh, son and I went to a mall we were basically looking for a hoodie sweater for ds but you know I just had to try on a few things. I tried on a pair of sz.14 tan leather (yes, I said leather) pants and jeans. They fit w/ no problem. So I grabbed a pair of sz. 13 black pants. (didn't try-when I got home i realize these were the low rise waist got tight all the way down til the end then kinda flare out and way they fit (makes me feel like a kid wearing them) but of course I refuse to show any stomach. Also, I bought a pair of black lacy boyshorts (M) underwear. I have always wore big cotton underwear so this is a big deal and it makes me feel so good knowing i have these on. All I know is that my weight is coming off and I feel great about it.

Believe me- I am going to wear thing that make me feel good from now on. I don't want to wear things that keep me all covered up. I won't be showing any skin but I am tired of being covered up in a blanket too.

I know we all have things that we want to wear or a size we are trying to get into. What is your goal? (btw- altogether I have lost 40 lbs. this year- just 3 months ago I was wearing a sz. 20!)

Funny you asked the question...I posted the three clothing goals I have under my weekly report thread. One of the goals has been met this weekend and I feel great about it. It's such a great impetus to keep going.

Hi, Cindy and Donna,

I'm almost into a size 8 now, but my frame is small and I still see quite a bit of fat on my belly, rear, and upper arms. So I think I'll probably want to be size 6. I have a couple of dresses saved that are size 8. My problem is that most of my clothes are now obviously too big- and I don't have the money for a new wardrobe. There are lots of good seamstresses and tailors here who could probably alter them all, the trick is finding the good ones. I really want to be a lean, strong, size 6.

I'm glad each of you are having such wonderful success!!!

Yesterday, as I was dressing for our morning services, I tried on a skirt that dh had kindly told me just didn't look very "flattering" a year or so ago. It hung like a feed sack!!! Then, I tried on a sweater top, and it was so stretched out over the hips that it looked hilarious! Awwwww.....sweet victory!!! I'm throwing these items away so I can never grow into them again!

I haven't bought much yet. I had some "nearly new" clothes that I couldn't wear, so I'm just fitting back into many of them. It makes me so happy to be able to buy "regular" size pantyhose again! Undies are going to be a fun purchase very soon. I always think of Merritt...and her heart to heart talk with her undies.

Keep up the good work, ladies!
