DAting myself with the Bozo reference!!!! I went from a whopping size 11 shoe down to a 9 1/2!! Still wide width, but back to my highschool shoe size!! I am sooo happy to look at shoes and see my foot in the mirror too, instead of yards and yards of shoe!!!!! No one but you guys would understand the sheer joy of another part of my anatomy shrinking!!!!! Let's see! Lost since 10/5/04....... 108#'s. 3 shoe sizes 7 dress sizes and most of my hair!!!!! Oh well.... I got my hair cut really short from below shoulder length, and went back to my more natural color(easier on the hair)of med. auburn from bleach blonde!!! My husband says I look like his own Jamie Lee Curtis!!!(sweet guy uhh?!) and that my eyes stand out more!!! I feel like a femm fatale(sp?)!!! It's been fun and scary and adventurous!! So I just had to go out and buy a sexy little(not so little and hid a whole lotta flaws)nitie for him!!!! It was so fun! Haven't felt sexy in sooo long! The world may not see a sexy woman, but I feel like one now!!!! I try to focus on the positive! When I was out shopping, I looked for a dress for a wedding I am going to in April. I was wearing a size 14/16 dress pant, straight from church, and when I looked in the mirror in the dressing room, my pants were baggy! I was so shocked! When I tried on size 16 and 14 dresses, they were too big!!!! I got into a size 12 tight, so a 14 would be my choice, but I got the 12 on!!!!!!!!! I just had been so excited when I had gotten into the 14/16's a month ago, that I finally bought some new clothes! I am so surprised at my changes!!!! Janee Cain

I had to laugh at your post! That was cute. Man what I wouldn't give to be a size 14!! But if my feet shrink I am gonna be in trouble, I only wear a 5 1/2 as it is!!

Wow Janee a size 12 already! You are doing so wonderful. You must be pretty close to goal. I don't think that I could squeeze into a 18 yet. Our surgeries are 4 days a part and you live very close to me (Holly). In fact I am meeting some people for the first time that I had met on the MI message board today at 4:30 on Miller Road (Applebys). If you are not busy stop by there will be about 15 of us. Keep up the great work. Janice

Hi Janee Thanks for the chuckle :laugh: I too, am losing my hair. I HATE it. I, also am in a size 12 dress and a size 8/10 stretch pants, 14/16 jeans. The other day I was looking in the mirror and saw what I thought was a white spot near my crotch. Hard as I tried, I could not see where it was on the pants. Well, low and behold it was light shining through my legs from behind! I haven't see THAT in .. well, forever! I have bones I never felt coming through. I turned over in bed and it actually hurt because of my hip bone poking me! And laying on my side, I could feel every rib.. it was kinda scarey at first but I guess it is normal. What fun it is noticing changes in our bodies and shrinking each month. Congratulations on your success! Joann 250ish/183/135ish
