NSV.... Love it

I've been trucking along ... still 193.  Not gaining or losing much. I think about 10 lbs of fat and skin is in my tummy area that I could get removed if I had the money for surgery. I'm still around 19 lbs away from a healthy bmi ( 174 would make my bmi 25 for my height) I figure at the rate I am going I'm looking at 6 months to a year ... Unless I get my act in gear. anyway........

My step kids are 9 and 14. The 14 year old is a skinny minnie... Like size 0-5 ish ( depending on clothes)

Hubby was putting away laundry and he has a basket of stuff that he can't tell if it is mine or the kids. I'm in a 12 totally not easily confused but it makes me happy.  He seriously can't tell. Things get put in the wrong drawers all the time. I have a pair of size small joe capri yoga pants that are stretchy that stepdaughter doesn't want that I wear now.  Obviously the fabric stretches but that  is so unreal to me. Even being a size 12 consistently in jeans and pants is weird.

I remember when I first met the kids and we had easter at my house and my step daughter was like 5 and got all dirty in a puddle and had to put one of my shirts on ... it was like a tent on her. Obviously. it was like a size 3X ... she still has the shirt and uses it as a nightgown every now and then.... Still huge. She also now wears a shirt of mine - size large and it is big but looks normal on her. It's a snug fit on me and a loose fit on her. 

Thought I would share

CONGRATS!! keep on trucking sister!

It's pretty awesome isn't it? I am noticing that it won't be long before my daughter and I can share clothes, we already share some..LOL And she's 12!  I have to check our tanks and camis more closely thats for sure!

I am still maintaining within an 5-8lb range at 2.5yrs out. I am happy with that! I lift weights much more often than I did last year and I can see my muscles coming back..thank goodness! LOL I am also in the "5-10lbs of loose skin" club...I HATE THIS CLUB!..LOL I want the skin GONE!

love it!

Yay for you skinny minnie! See you on Weds

That is so great to hear!  My daughter has always been athletic and like her clothes a little loose so when i visited her last month (she moved to Edmonton) I borrowed a sweater from her!  That has never happened and I couldn't believe i could wear it!  Size large!  My largest was 5X, verging on 6X with some styles.

If you have surgery to remove the subcutaneous fat, you will have to trade a lot of things like health and money.
