Hi
I haven't even looked at the boards in a week.

I lost 6 pounds so far, 15 days in. I can't believe it! That's a size cuz I'm short. This is so easy.

I just wanted to share with everyone!

Thanks!
Maryjo

Re: Hooray!

Thank you for all the kind words!

JSJ asked what size I am. I am an 8. I was at one time 178 pounds.

I remember I had to buy a winter coat, and all the XL were too small at the hips. I went in every store to find an XL that would fit. I refused to go into X's. I did find a coat. I started a diet the next day! I used weight watchers and went down to 139. I was a size 4 at that point. That was actually last summer. I know it's a high weight to fit into such a small size, but I'm big on top.

I always tell myself, it's just food. Luckily I'm too busy to even get everything I need to get done in one day.

Good luck, you can do it!

Re: Hooray!

Wow...that would be sooo nice!! I can't wait to get to where you are at...it must feel fabulous

I totally understand what you mean about the xl's not fitting the hips!!! LOL We must be built pretty similiar b/c I had the SAME issue w/ my xl winter coat at 181 when I started and now I zip it up with ease.

And I totally undertsand what you mean about being big up top...ugh..LOL. Did you find they got smaller as well...like they stayed in proportion w/ your body?? I am so scared I am going to get to goal and either have these huge things or they'll be deflated! LOL

Re: Hooray!

Re: Hooray!

That's great on losing a size!

I envy you girls who carry your extra weight in your hips.

All my fat ends up in my stomach and I have no hips - so even though I'm 5'8" and weigh 157 I have to wear a size 10 to fit my waist.

JSJ - i used to weigh 250 with double D bra size and now I am a C. So I do have a bit of the deflated balloon effect. I don't care so much though because I'd rather be thin with a push 'em up, padded bra if I have to. My main concern is the extra skin on my stomach - that's gross!

Also, I think women look good with smaller waists and fuller hips.
