Wow moments & Chart info
Hi all,
I'm just checking in and sharing some Wow moments shopping today. I've gotten into my head that I'm going to buy Levi 501s when I hit goal so I wanted to see what size I'm fitting into. Went to Mervyn's and 31/32 (Size 8) fit perfectly - even the waist which never used to happen. Then I tested swimsuits and I posted pics wearing a size 8 bikini. I love my side view the most. Last but not least - on a quirk I decided to try on a pair of size 6 pants and THEY fit - though they did pull a bit in the front. It was just a fun day shopping - even if I didn't buy any of it.
An offer for any of you who have access to Microsoft Excel. I've created a chart that has a straight line from start weight to goal weight and a 2nd line reflecting your actual weight loss. If you're interested in having a blank one for you to enter your data just send me an e-mail.

Hi Dawn- that is the best usage of a cell phone that Ive ever seen!
You are right- you look great. That is my goal weight -145- but for my height- 5-3", it may be too high. I was fiddling on the BMI calculator & to get to a BMI of 23-25, I need to be at 135ish..Time will tell.
I'm waiting for the warmer weather in NY- to take suit pictures. I am driving my family ( son & mom) crazy with which suit am I wearing, what size I am etc. Since I workout & go to Ballys- Ive enjoyed swimming & the hot tub all winter- so I have a bunch of suits- some not yet worn. And believe it or not- regardless of my size- growing up- I also preferred 2 pc suits. I am hoping to get into 16/18 by my birhtday in July.
By sharing your pics- you've given me hope and something to shoot for.I workout very aggressively. Its just hard when you keep looking at your own mirror image- and you really can't see the improvements. Well its hard for me, because even though Ive lost 90lbs- Im still 235-which is just below where most people have started.
Thanks again- and good luck on your goal U look awesome!
