WOW WOW WOW!!!
My niece is getting married on January 15th ...she's having this huge beautiful wedding and I have waited and waited to get something to wear to it...well the time has come so last night I went out looking...I want something really pretty and fancy...I don't really wear dresses (because I have always hated how heavy my legs were) so I'm looking for something with pants...I will admit that I didn't find anything that I was happy with but what I DID find out is that I have gone from a size 26 pants to a SIZE 18 and blouse size of 22/24 to SIZE 16!!! OMG I was thrilled. I was with my girlfriend and I took 3 different sizes into the dressing room...pants size 22, 20 & 18. I put the 22's on and they looked and felt so huge...I tried the 20's and they were still too big so I said to myself, even if they don't fit I'll just try the 18's...they actually fit. All the tops I tried on were way too big so my girlfriend brought me a size 16 in 2 of the styles and they fit AND looked GOOD. I didn't buy them because I think I can get something better (fancier) but I can't believe that those sizes actually fit my body! The pounds may not be showing on the scale but I guess the gym is paying off and the inches are melting! I'll find out tomorrow morning when I get weighed and measured at the gym!
Thanx for letting me share! I'm so excited!
hugssssss...Linda

The day of my surgery (9/9) I was 300 lbs on the nose...I am now 234 lbs (-66). I am 5'3". I go to a gym similar to Curves but it has so much more...it's called Ladies Workout Express...I do the treadmill for 30 mins 3 days a week, the Elyptical for 10 mins (that's all I can handle for now) 3 days a week (usually opposite days from the treadmill) and I do the "circuit" every day (except sunday because it's closed ) I also have a gazelle at home which I do for 15 mins each day .. normally in the morning b4 my shower.
I am so committed to getting this weight off! it's all I want..Unfortunately I am a slow loser but I don't care as long as it is coming off!!!
Enjoy your day!
Linda
