QOD for 5/17

Hi there guys What are you summer plans? Have you gotten your new skinny summer clothes? How are you guys looking in your shorts this year compared to last year? How many sizes have you gone down since your WLS? Have you gotten your bathing suit yet? Do you think enjoying the heat will be easier with being thinner? Last but least......What do plan to do when you hit that 100 lb mark? OK here I go, My summer plans are to go to Philly this year and join some friends. When I return I will relax. I have almost 3 weeks off. Yes, I have gotten some shorts and tops, undies and bras. I got sizes much more appropriately fitting me. I can see the weight loss in the smaller clothes. I am looking OK in my shorts, a bit saggy at the knees and I need a tan real bad. I started my weight loss at Size 22/24, Now I am wearing a 10/12. Yes ,I did get 2 bathing suits. One is 2 piece, the one that overlaps the bottom. The other one is a nice 1 piece. My upper thighs are sagging so much. Yes the heat will be much easier for me this year that I am thinner. I was put to the test yesterday. I had on my jeans overalls and my girlfriend was saying "LORRAINE ITS SO HOT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU" iI just did not feel it. I am hoping the rest of the summer will not be so tough on me. I used to suffer terribly from the heat Well guys when I get to the 100 pd mark, I will be and and Anyway guys have a good Monday. Take care.... ..Lorraine

Lorraine When you come to philly hit me up it only takes me about 20 min to get there..... I have no summer plans at all... bathing suit. I dunno.. I never thought of doing anything for myself when I loose 100, But I am going to start thinking.... I am not sure where I am with my weightloss Last time I check is was 74lbs But I will get on the scale this Thursday afternoon before my support group.... Hope Everyone has a good day....

Hi there Katie, I will be there the weekend of July 15th for the Philly Bash 2004. Look at the website and email me ok... [email protected]. I would be so happy to meet you. Lorraine

Lorraine When I looked at the website I realized That its only like 8 min from my house where your gonna be.. I will probally attend both fri nite and sat night dances... ANYONE ELSE WANT TO COME WE CAN MAKE A WEEKEND OUT OF IT>>>>>

What are you summer plans? My summer plans are as follows: The week of June 12th, I have rented a house and a boat in the Florida Keys. We are going fishing and scuba diving. THEN... The first week in August we are going to sail from Miami to the Bahamas for a week on Blackbeards.. we do this every year for the last 7 years.. I am looking forward to diving the Bahamas at a normal weight. Have you gotten your new skinny summer clothes? I have bought a few pair of shorts.. How are you guys looking in your shorts this year compared to last year? Much better, but I am self conscious of the thigh skin How many sizes have you gone down since your WLS? I was wearing a 24.. now I am in 16 Have you gotten your bathing suit yet? Yes.. I wore it this weekend on our houseboat and got so sunburned!! It was so nice to be in a bathing suit in front of other people and not be so self conscious. Do you think enjoying the heat will be easier with being thinner? I think so Last but least......What do plan to do when you hit that 100 lb mark? Do the happy dance!!

My summer plans are to stay home and redo my kitchen, with a little break in late July - GIRLS' CRUISE!! Nope, not buying clothes again until I'm completely out of the plus sizes. 1X in women's is too big, and Ladies' XL is just beginning to fit, so I'll wait a bit. FINALLY got my sewing machine fixed, so I'm starting to take a few things in. Just simple things, though. A good seamstress, I am NOT! Shorts?! HA!! I am not there yet. My legs are BEYOND horrible right now. My veiny, lumpy, pale calves are STILL 22" wide (my PREOP measurement!!! ), THEY REFUSE TO SHRINK!!! And, I can't even wear short sleeves. (I am NOT joking! I'll send pictures if you're brave!! ) The heat is already coming on here in Jupiter, Fl., but I got out and did some yard work yesterday, which would have KILLED me last year, but I did O.K. Hope I handle heat better this year! Started out at a size 26/28, now getting into Ladies' XL (18?). My problem is my huge thighs and arms, would be wearing much smaller by now if not for them! Anyone know where to buy ARM GIRDLES? Have the bathing suit, will wear it (but not shorts! Odd, huh?). One piece with a little skirt, which I despise, but I hate the rolls on the top of my thighs more! Mama, when I hit that 100 pound mark, I will still have 90 pounds to go, but you BET I will be celebrating!! Maybe I'll buy myself a new ring! Or earrings! There WILL be a prize involved! Have a good one, guys! Donna

Oh, lets see..... Summer plans: a family trip to see my sister in AZ, a wedding in Seattle, and Vegas in August *just the girls* Clothes: Did some shopping in April and now most of my capris are too big *did I just say that?* I do need to get a few things, but hate to spend the money. My awesome bargin was a yard-sale swim tankini new with tags ($59.99) for an amazing $2.00 It is a size 14, fits great on top but saggy in the bottom. Like Lorraine I have gone from a 22/24 to a 10/12. Never in my life been smaller than a 10 so I am excited to see where I go from here. Heat: I look forward to not sweating 24/7 The 100lb mark: I have this one all planned out!!! A day at the spa, with the works, head to toe. A new hair cut and highlights then a trip to the mall for a complete outfit right down to underclothes and shoes. I plan on spending the entire day to pamper myself ~Kimberly
