Sunday September 6th --- Share and Care! :-)

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope that this note finds you all well.  I kind of have been out of sorts for over a week but after a day of no commitments yesterday, I have been able to regroup!

Life is good!  The scales are moving again and I see my goal of 200 pounds lost in the near future!  I am joining the gym on Thursday and am VERY excited about that!  It is amazing how our priorities change now that we have a body that we care about!

I ordered some clearance shirts from Roamans catalog and was able to get a 1X.  One of them was even too big.  I am wishy washy about the shirts cause they are all the big flowing kind but since I have NO, and I mean NO clothes for the fall, 8 shirts for $80.00 will have to do!

How are all of you and how is pals going?

Happy Sunday!

Hi - things are going great here.

I get where you're coming from Renee. The entire wardrobe that I bought post surgery is too big. I'm going to try to hold out til the Rye Brook event to check out the clothing exchange before I go out and buy anything. At least I haven't had happen what happened to one of the girls in my support group. She mooned the entire cafeteria at the hospital because her pants were too loose!

Have a great day everyone!
Love ya, Debbie

All is well here. Had a wonderful day with friends and family.

I weigh Tuesday and hope the scales do me justice this week. It has been hard to eat with my husband home. I guess I don't want him to see this side of the surgery. I dumped the other day, but that was totally my fault. Ate some bread that I shouldn't of, and after the first bite, I knew what I did.

Went to 2 bbq's today, and both had things I could pretty much moderate to eat. Didn't do to bad.

I understand the clothes issue. All my stuff that was fitting comfortably, is now getting too loose. It is depressing though. In Lane bryant, I am in a 16-18. Went to New york and co. to get some jeans, thinking an 18 would fit, and they were to small. I guess different sizes for different shops. I know that I have more confindance, and my husband loves the changes.
Hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing labor day. I go back to work tomorrow at 6am, so no rest for me. And it is my hubby's first day alone with the kids.  Should make for an interesting day.

Love you all-
devon

Different stores do size thing differently. And some do weird things with their sizing, For a bit Fashion Bug had their jeans in a really funky sizing pattern. I ended up wearing size 4. That made absoulutely no sense but it did boost the ego a little. Now they don't use that sizing anymore so I'll probably be a 14-16.

well its good to hear from everyone...the things store do about sizes...lol...good luck at the clothing exchange deb...when i went to chicago they had very little in my size but maybe u will have better luck

Renee,

What size jeans are you wearing?  I have a few pair that I haven't taken to the consignment shop yet and if you can wear them, I would gladly send them to youl I'm not sure of my shirt sizes but I will check for you to see if I have anything there also


BTW:  Any  new luck with your pal?  Believe it or not, we are still jumping through hoops with doctors and I forgot all about checking into your pal to see if there was a problem.  So so sorry!  Hoping its now working out for youl Keep me posted and let me know your size.

Love ya!

Hi, Rona.  I am wearing between an 18 and 22 pant.  I will gladly pay you for shipping!  :-)  No luck with my pal.  Nothing like being the one on the "no contact" end.  I would really prefer not to receive a Sept gift as I know that their heart really isn't into it. 

People, why can't you follow through if you sign up?  It is such a horrible feeling to not hear from your pal. 

Renee,

Send me an email or PM with your address cause I have some jeans I can send to you.  I am so sorry that your pal isn't doing her part.  I will tell her what you said about the September gift.  I hate it that things never go smoothly!

Hugs,

Rona


Edited to add:  You know what I probably have your address in my messages from where I sent it to your pal.....   :)
