The Thanksgiving Elastic Waist Challenge
Cindy - nekkid also leaves WAY too much for waist expansion!! LOL
Rosa - I'm not sure what I'm wearing yet, but it will probably be one of my numerous pairs of blue jeans. Nothing too sexy since it IS dinner with family....
Oh - just got an idea - I was thinking about some leggins and a big sweater - but that DOES leave too much room for comfort. The drive down and back will take 3 1/2 hours each way, and since I'll be sitting in the car for that long period, I would like something not real binding.
Just talked myself into it - leggins and a long shirt. I'm not too worried about overeating - I tend not to do that... (haha).

Rosa,
I'll think about this. I think that I've only seen two people since last Thanksgiving when I weighed in the 240's. I was thinking black slacks and a top because they make me look so slim, but maybe I'll have to wear Jeans which are the only things I own with a waistband. I think that knowing that everyone will be watching me (me included!) will keep my portions right sized for my Sleeve.

Ok, i was going to wear my size 10 bluejeans (they have a waistband and everything) but then I thought I am going to dress up a bit. I haven't seen some of my family since August and I want to show myself off! So, I'll get a picture of the outfit and post this weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving my LW friends! Brenda

Hey Rosa, I'm in too! I have been thinking about this all week. We are going to my inlaws and I have not seen them, or the rest of the family since surgery. Since I was in a 24 and now I can rock an 18, I am wearing my new dark brown pants I got at Goodwill for $3.00. They make me look really skinny and a yellow sweater in a 1x..not a 2x anymore! Probably could wear an XL, but this darn tummy wont go away as fast as the rest of me!! lol.... Down 50 lbs and over 50 inches, cant wait for everyone to see the new me!!! Hope everyone has a great Turkey day!! Joan
