WILD IMAGININGS...

My scale tells me I currently weigh 142 lbs. Could it be possible that I may actually see numbers in the 130s before too long??? Will keep you posted, dear friends...Reenie

reenie, what is your height? is the 130's where you want to be? Is that a healthy weight for you? Your pictures are awesome and you look great. I'm 5' 7" and weigh between 159 to 160 I'm happy there but I would like to get to 150. Everyone tells me to stay right were i am that I look great. I'm wearing clothes that I love the size is a 8 to 10 and I'm thrilled to be there. I'm wondering if I'm settling for somethign that maybe I should be working harder to be smaller. What size do you wear? I bet your in a size 4! Dr A told me to stay were I was but that was 5 pounds ago. I've not really lost anythign in 6 months. just that nastyold one pound that i play with. I am eating healthy, weighing my foods still and making sure to get the protein. you know for some reason the weeks i eat more is the weeks that one pounds goes away!

Pammie, I am 5'5" - probably a little shorter in my old age. My dad always told me I was a "larged boned" girl -- but I'm finding my bones are quite small. I am comfortably in a size 8, probably could go into a size 6 but I'm still pretty swollen from the TT so am not pushing that. If I could get to 135 and then settle between 135 and 145 for the rest of my life, that would be grand! Mostly, I just wanna feel healthy, you know? It's very nice to put on pretty clothes and really enjoy being a woman for the first time in my life, taking care of my face and hair and wearing makeup, all of that...but the only thing I really truly care about is health. I have to share a chuckle with you and everyone though...I was out shopping with my beautiful teenaged daughter, Jillian, last night when a man (ok, an older but quite handsome man -- my aged!) struck up a conversation and was obviously flirting with me! After Jillian made it very clear (going to the car) that the entire incident was absolutely A GROSS-OUT for her (eeeewwwwww!) ... she said, "Mom, you really are a very pretty woman." It's too, too, too funny. Love to all -- Reenie

Hey Reenie, That's great. I hope to get there one of these days I would just like to get below the 200 lbs mark. You have done great. Marilyn, the Bearlady

You'll get there, woman...just keep doin' the right things! Reenie

Thanks Reenie, I wish I had your enthusiasm with everyday stuff as you do. I did start exercising again, which I had stopped doing. So hope fully that will help the situation. Need to do it even more now that I sit at a desk all day. It's just doing it Right!! Marilyn, the Bearlady.

Good for you, that's a huge step!! Reenie

Reenie, you tiny thing. Did you ever imagine at 300 plus pounds that one day you would be such a elegantly thin woman with a flat tummy? I'm proud of you and happy for you. Hugs, Connie

Elegant??? Hmmmmm...I don' thing so!!! And I know you're right there with me, we've been walkin' side-by-side statistically speaking (and otherwise, of course) from the beginning. Love, Reenie

Wowie wow wow!!! Maureen - you are my hero!!! Remember this when you start to worry that you are eating too much again! Dina
