My Picture!

Well, it took long enough, but I finally have a picture up! I'm hoping to get more up here after my vacation. A question....since the christmas holiday, I lost about 8 pounds and have been the same weight for a couple of weeks now. All of a sudden, my clothes start getting big, even though I'm the same weight. Has anyone else experienced this? I bought a pair of pants, size 9, then went back and bought the same pants in another color, size 7, and now the 7's are too big. Does the weight shift or something? I'm curious..... Joan

Yes. you can loose inches and not pounds. They told me prior to surgery to measure as well as weigh so if you stall, you might be loosing inches. BTW, you look really good.

Love the pic - you look wonderful! As for the weight, YES, I have experienced just that situation quite a bit. In fact, someone will say they noticed I lost weight at work and I hadn't. But obviously it shows up when I'm not paying attention! Dina

You look wonderful, Joan! What was your starting weight and where are you now? Trying to figure out the majic number to be able to wear a size 7! Wow! Yes, the inches mystery happens to me as well -- in fact, just this past few weeks...I'm definitely stalled, in fact, the scale shows a gain today of 2 lbs., but I have gone down a full size and people at work have all remarked this past week that I look like I've lost a lot lately. Weird, huh? I don't get it. Take care! Maureen

Joan, You look wonderful. My shrinking size has been the only thing that keeps me sane when the scales don't move. I'll go weeks without losing weight, but will drop a size. Connie
