Topic: Halloween, How did you do?
Well this was a big sweet time of year so how did you do? did you have a treat? Did you over do it? Did you control yourself?
I feel like I did ok, the night before we made treats and I did have more then I feel I should have but nothing like I used too so I feel like it was a victory. Yesterday I did great. No treats for me YEA. Overall I'm happy. Glad its over and I'm getting rid of all the bad stuff left over, I sent it to work with my husband LOL...As long as I'm not eating them I don't care where they go that includes the trash can LOL
Hugs,
Rebecca
Topic: RE: I hate to complain but I'm really confussed
I too have wondered about this. I have lost 63 lbs and currently weigh 143. I am 5'2" and wear a size 8. 15 years ago I was down to this weight and could wear a size 8 in Lee jeans. I think alot of the sizing now has to do with if they have a little spandex in them or not. I have never in my adult life or even my teens been lower that that size 8 and I am curious to see where this journey will take me and I hope where ever I end up that I will be able to maintain it. I would be happy right where I'm at if I can maintain here. Hugs, Sue
Topic: RE: Do you believe this?!!
Awww Betsy, that sucks! It never fails does it. I had my thyroid checked a few weeks ago and all was fine. You are absolutely doing great with your losses. Shoot, your picture shows it! Hopefully everything will work out and you won't need surgery. Keep us updated!

It's all about body type. I always seem to "weigh" heavier than I look. People are surprised when I tell them my weight. I have lost 70 lbs and I am 5'1". I went from a 20 (pushing a 22). I am currently in a 14-16 and weight 167 lbs, and could still lose about 20-30 lbs. So, I don't ever think I will be in a single digit size, which is ok with me. I feel great and I am so happy.

P.S. My surgery was May 7th.

So be very happy! Im 5'6 and started at 247 I also had my surgery in May. Goodness I cant wait to get close to that size!

Topic: RE: Dressing up for Halloween?
Yeah, where's the Halloween spirit anymore? I wore my devil horns all day @ work and my boa on and off. had a super time dressed up, but my site was one of the few that did anything. I have lived here for 6 yrs. this Dec. and have never had one trick or treater except for my friend Comet's kids and they didn't even show up this year! Bunch of poopers!! never really been a Christmas person, but Halloween is my favorite! Posting the pics I took from work on my profile...go take a peek.
Topic: RE: Dressing up for Halloween?
I've been in costume since about noon. I did the school thing (they won't let us dress up) and as I was leaving, my best friend texted me and asked about lunch. I zoomed home, put on costume and makeup and she got there and was already dressed up. LOL So, me, Susie and Mark did lunch at Cracker Barrel. We were the only ones dressed up. I picked the kid up from school, she got dressed then off to Applebee's for an early dinner. Only 3 servers were dressed up. WHERE IS THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT???
Trick or Treaters started coming at 5 pm and I only just got my costume off. I LOVE MY SKINNY COSTUME! I'll post pics tomorrow. I thought I looked good. Visited a neighbor and he didn't realize who I was. Boy was he shocked when I told him it was me. LOL He was very sweet then blurted out "Cyn, you've lost a LOT of weight!". lol It was classic. He was truly happy for me. I'm sure his wife will pop over tomorrow. She wasn't home tonight.
Our haunted house was a HUGE success! Our fog machine rocked and Mark scared the crap out of a bunch of teens. LOL We rarely have trick or treaters but this year we had about 50. It was so cool!!!!
So, down comes Halloween this weekend and the plans begin for Christmas! WOOHOO!!!!!
