Sunday Weigh In

hi there I did not jump on the scale this week! I had a holy communion to go to so I went shopping to find something to wear. I found a shirt at jcpenny that was a 2x and fit really nice and layed perfect real flowy. I also bought to pairs of shorts for summer and I had to get 22s I also can fit in xl shirts like rock shirts which makes me really excited. I hate the fact I am still in a 22 I have lost 122 pounds and went from 28/30 to 22 I feel terrible! everyone on here even who started around my size and height are in 16 it boggles my mind that I am only at a 22 so yes once again dee is super negative!!! oh well so thats why I didn't go on the scale I am on strike!!! dee

Dee, I am not in a 16, so don't worry. I am in a size 18, for the most part. Yet I too see people who are at my weight who wear 12s. we're all different. You are doing great and you look beautiful!!! Shar

Again, this is where the scale and measurements can't be our end all be all! I wear a 16W in jeans (if I'm lucky) mind you.. all brands are different! My waist is around 37-38" That can vary from brand to brand. I'm not small enough to be shopping totally in the misses.. but most of the women's sizes are too big. I'm a xl in some things.. and a 2x in others. It's maddening! I've had to put down the sizes for a bit and just concentrate on how much better I feel. I went on a loooooong walk the other day with my daughter. We live on a acre of woods and behind us are another 5 wooded acres owned by the city. We hiked up and down hills and had so much fun. My 6 year old daughter talked the entire time (you know how us girls are) We explored.. looked at plants.. studied ant hills and deer droppings. LOL And after about a hour of walking we headed home and I realized that by the time we got home.. I wasn't even out of breath! What kind of life this is!!! I'm not going to let the number on the scale or my jeans steal that joy away from me. A year ago.. I would have KILLED to be the weight and size I am now... and now that I'm here.. I'm tempted to not be happy unless I'm smaller... how logical is that? How about we just live healthy, enjoy life.. and say the hell with clothing tags and scale readings? Your beautiful Dee.. and you've done awesome!!! I mean 122 lbs!!!!!! COME ON!! THAT"S GREEEEAATT!!!! Cheer up! Your worth it! -Shakeira

Great Shar!! Wayyy to gooooo!! I was told after surgery to take my vitamin, iron, calcium daily and a B-12 once a week. At my one year check up all my blood work was fine EXCEPT B complex! A little low. I have now been told to add B Complex. Dang lack of vitamins can really mess with ya, huh. I'm still stuck, playing the bouncing scale game.
