Good for you Nan . . . I love those WOW moments!

See you next week "Tiny"

Yay Tiny.  Nanner nanner nanner.  What an accomplishment for you.  People have told me I'm getting skinny, but they're just being kind.  I won't even be skinny when I hit my goal, but I'm making progress, slowly.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Jan - I'm sure you are getting skinny!   I still look in the mirror and see myself as 'big'.  I think it's just something we all have to get used to and deal with after being overweight most of our lives.  I've had more compliments this week on how 'thin' I look and I think alot has to do with I'm actually buying clothes that are the right size instead of wearing clothes that are too big.  I was wearing size 16 pants last week and finally decided I needed some new dress pants for work.  So I went last night and bought a couple of pair...size 12!  Wearing clothes that actually fit can definitely make you look thinner.

Wow, size 12.  I can't even imagine.  I'm wearing size 16 jeans right now, but I'll probably be comfortable in them for another 20 pounds or so.  Then I'll have to buy something, because 16 is the smallest my clothes go to.  I cleaned out my closet when I moved, and I don't have too much left that actually fits.  Most things are still too big.
Have a good support meeting Tuesday.

Thanks...it's actually at my house this month!!  I really enjoy those meetings.  Wish you were closer so you could come too!  At least I got to meet you at the one meeting. 

I need to clean out my closet.  I did bag a lot of the 24/26's up but now I need to go through the rest of my clothes. About 6 years ago I had lost a lot of weight on the Adkins and got down to a size 8.  I have tons of size 8 pants and I never got rid of them or even took them out of my dressers!  Hopeful thinking I guess that someday I'd get back in them.  I'm hoping to get back into those so I don't have to buy a bunch of dress slacks for work.  If I could skip from 12's to 8's that would be good.  I went to Kohl's last night and looked on their 80% off rack!

I talked to Shelly tonight and she said she's now down to 26's.  She's planning to come to the meeting since you're so close.  She's on Bay City Rd. just west of Waldo.  You're really close.

I discovered that too (clothes that fit=look thinner)!  Wow a 12!  That's amazing...good job!

Congratulations!  I get called tiny and skinny too on occasion.  Especially from people who don't know me.

I was in a shoe store yesterday and talked about my shoe size changing and the clerk asked me how.  I told her I've lost 93 lbs and she said "you haven't been skinny all your life?" and I said "no - not at all"  she said "You look like you've always been thin"... then we talked about losing weight, surgery, maintaining etc. 

Hey Jody!  How did the weigh in go when you got back from Minnesota?  I finally broke down Wednesday and bout two new batteries for my scale....so I'm back to weighing myself daily :-)  Maybe once I hit maintainence I'll switch to weekly. 

The girl who made the comment to me yesterday at the tanner has seen me in there over the course of the year and I started out at 304 and am down to 183.  So I'm sure what she meant was 'wow you're losing weight' instead of 'wow you are so tiny' - LOL.
