Well............

I went to the mall last night and in a moment of temporary insanity, I not only tried on, but bought a pair of skinny jeans under the advice of my 12 year old daughter! I wore them to work this morning with the tag still on! I felt it necessary to consult with adult fashonistas as to whether I should trally be wearing skinnies! I even had my back up pair of jeans in a bag at my desk just in case! LOL!!

The vote was unanimous and I cut the tag off the skinnies and am still wearing them. People kept commenting on how small my legs are and I kept thinking about how fat my stomach is. I am happy with my weight loss, but not so happy with my lingering belly fat.

I am running another 5K on the 25th, so am concebtrating on cardio @ the gym, after that, need to do more circuit / resistance to tone that flab. On a more positive note, I will be attending an info session on Tuesday do give a testimony on the band & my journey. Looking forward to that experience.

Skinny jeans .......  mmmmmmm (dreaming)....I would say lucky you, but I know luck had nothing to do with it!

Congrats! I am sure the people at Dr B's will be inspired by your succcess!

Skinny jeans?  OMG, that's freaking fantastic!!! Congrats!!!

One day I might fit into skinny jeans but I will never be able to wear them. I have skinny legs now. When I was fat, my legs matched my size but when I lost weight, my girls and my legs were the first to go. I used to say I looked like a barrel standing on hockey sticks but now I look like a big bucket standing on hockey sticks. LOL

Thanks ladies:)

Maggie that is hilarious. I can relate to the barrel effect though. My weight was all belly for the most part and remains my problem area still.

I will be starting Zumba classes next month; that should be interesting; they say you burn 1000 calories in an hour long class! After consulting youtube, I am doubtful I will reach that, but I'm sure it will be awesome for a good laugh.

Way to go with the skinny jeans jet! Enjoy them!

 I guess I've always considered myself sort of like a sausage with all the meat shoved to one end.  I will NEVER have small hips - made for havin' babies as they say.  Must say I like the comparison of the barrel on hockey sticks!!!  LOL

Way to go Jet!

I have a 12 year old almost 13- if they say you can pull it off - you can pull it off - my daughter and her friends are the very first to comment when someone is trying to pull off something too young for them - I will spare ya the comments but it is kinda comical mall shopping with them - at least they say it discreetly - and not scream it out like I feel compelled to  - "hey lady showing way too much skin" lol - its funny but I find myself thinking it and one of them will whisper it to me !~ lol

Oh I am going to a Zumba trial class - which I think is a great idea its an open house so I wont be the only new girl lol- have heard great things about it and I love love to dance so this might be my exercise of choice if I can keep up and not wreak havoc on my knees !

The people at Tuesdays info session will find great inspiration  in your story - you have done so amazing you wow me all the time - and omg girly dont get me started on the marathons!

Go Jet Go!

hugs

Deb you will need to keep me posted on the zumba experience. I will be going through work, but it only starts in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the encouragement on the running, but 5K is a far cry from a marathon. I want to be able to run from start to finish; the race is with myself.

Looking forward to Tuesday; seems like not that long ago I was attending such a session myself.

I'm so happy for you J!   I can't wait to try out Zumba.  It's going to be a blast.

I can't wait to be able to say that I bought skinny jeans.   I think I was in high school last time I said that!!!!
