SIZE 8!!

Hello everyone I haven't been on the boards in a while. I've been really busy lately. But I thought I would come on and update anyone that might be interested. So I am down 81 lbs now. I am now a size 8!! I can't even believe it myself. The other day I wore my size 10 black pants that I was so proud of (because they were a size 10)...anyway by the time I got home they were so baggy I thought WOW...Do I need an 8? So i stood in the doorway of my bathroom and cried! This was the first time it hit me that finally after all these years we have found something that works!!! How exciting this all has been. I have 19 lbs to go to get to my goal of 138. Let's play shall we? Start: 9-20-04 Now: 3-13-05 Weight: 238 Weight: 157 Height: 5"6 Height: 5"6 (same Shirt size: 22-24 or 2-3x Shirt size: 8-10 or medium Pants size: 22-24w Pants size : 8 Shoe size: 9 Shoe size: 8 1/2 Bra size: 44 D Bra size: 38 C Goal weight I set at the doctors office before surgery was 150 lbs! I am 7 lbs from that goal! 7 POUNDS? wow! But I changed my personal goal to 138 so that I will be in the century club at exactly 100 lbs lost! Now I'm starting to think of the mantaining this and I get alittle scared. If I stopped losing weight right now and didnt get any smaller but toned all of it up I think I would be very comfortable at this size. I havent been this size since I was 15 yrs old. I feel on top of the world Sorry for this being so long but I couldnt help it. Please let me know how you are doing! We all rock! Love, Rebecca 238/157/138

Hey, thats awesome. You must be so proud. A size 8, they make them that small??? LOL Here's where I stand right now Start: 9-03-04 Now: 3-13-05 Weight: 363 Weight: 210.5 Height: 5"8 Height: 5"8 Shirt size: 3x Shirt size: Large Pants size: 3x-4x Pants size : 14 Shoe size: 11 Shoe size: 10 Bra size: 48 C Bra size: 38 C I have 40.5 pounds to go till I hit my goal but I am not sure how I will feel once I get there. I may try to lose some more or try to maintain. I do think about that though and if I will be able to maintain or if I will keep loosing. I've never reached my goal in my life so I don't know if I really know how to maintain. It should be interesting. Keep up the great work.... Shannon

Aaaah Rebecca congratulations! That's wonderful to almost be at goal! My stats: 9/29/04 3/13/05 285.5 (288highest) 210.5 Height - 5' 2" Pant size 22-26 haven't bought any but I would say 18? shirt XXL 18, some 12-14, Large shoes: 7 1/2 6 - 6 1/2 I really haven't bought any new clothes cause I've been taking some in..once I go under 200 I might buy a few just to try new sizes. Once that gets big on me - then I'll buy more. I don't wanna buy to toss - until I get near my goal of 135. (surgeon wants me at 147 but I wanna go lower). We'll see what happens.

Wow!! I'm not sure that I new that they made clothes in a size 8 either!!! LOL How great is that? I am soooooo happy for you!! I am in an 18 and think that I've died and gone to heaven!! I am up on the mountain doing a happy dance for you !!! Love, Pam

Rebecca you are doing so so so good! We are the same weight again, except you have that dang four and a half inches of extra height on me, so you get to look much skinnier! Size 8!!!!!!! Wow Weee! Ok, I will share my good news o' the week... Since ya' asked! 1) Hit 70 lbs lost today! 2) Cracked the 150's today (officially on my parent's dr scale weekly weigh in) down 3.5 lbs this week, the most in quite a while! 3) My next door neighbor had no clue who I was when I saw him at the gym, until I told him!!!!! (this was very cool) 4) Ran into another old friend over the weekend who told me she never would have recognized me and said I look "phenomenal" good word, no? 5) My friend Lori told me I now have a "tiny heiny" sp? It's been a pretty darn good week! Yes, you are right... We ALL do ROCK! ~Sue
