those electric blankets are so darn expensive too - I checked em out recently (mine only works on 1/2 of it) and I couldn't believe 75.00 for a queen size one.  Dang!!

Kriste,

You're doing fabulous with 80+ pounds lost.  I haven't lost anything in three weeks.  I'm hoping to break my stall soon.

Topic: RE: Who makes these sizes anyway?
I agree about the crazy ass length of stuff.  I am 5'7 so I am not short! I been going to ross because I can get jeans for 10-12 bucks! Try Old Navy Yoga pants.  They are strech and I wear them to work with a nice shirt and they look great! Just a thought.  You can always go a size smaller.  I have an XL and I could probably get a L and be just fine! What about Lane Bryant.  You could be a 1 or 2 there and they have petite lenghts.  Only crappy thing is the price! I can't justify it since I will only wear them for 2-3 weeks at this rate! What a great problem to have!

Topic: RE: First sandwich since surgery
I had a slice of pumpernickel bread last night when I checked out the label and saw that a 1/2 inch slice has 7 grams of protein (Walmart bakery brand)!!! I couldn't fini**** all, but I had the but and I think it was more than 1/2.  It was a yummy way to end my day! Everything in moderation I like to say!

I am 28.  It is hard to not compare, but at the end of the day we are all sucessful! Everyone is different.  Some will lose fast and others will be more slow and steady.  I think slow and steady is best.  Keep up the great work! You are doing awesome!

Yeah, it is very traumatic! That has been the worst part of the whole thing.  But 81 lbs in 4 months is worth it! Good news is it should grow back! it will grow back...right??

I had the same experience at old navy!! I took a 2x and that was huge and then I got the xl and I was freakin out and that was big! I ended up buying a large! (NOT this size in most things there, but hell, I'll take it!) Congrats on the great experience!
