So I have needed some shorts for the new me these days. I found some at Goodwill..3 for $11.
Then the other day ..I wandered into Old Navy and found the cutest plain shorts...they call them 5 inch shorts...just the right cut and length. I LOVE THE NEW LOOK OF ME IN THEM .
People keep talking...aka complimenting...me etc... It has taken some getting use to.
I even noticed me smiling in the mirror and how different my face looks now. Much improvement.
One person said I was losing too much weight and my face look sunken....NOT HARDLY. They are just use to me being so heavy. I mean you can see from my ticker that I am not skinny by any stretch...but I will take it all. It has been so long since I heard/felt anything like skinny...bring it on.:)

 Isn't it fun to feel skinny.  Don't buy too many clothes - they will be too big before you know it!!!

I'm jealous... I don't think I'll ever have the legs for shorts!  I've always carried a lot of my weight in my thighs and I'm pretty sure that is where about 12 of the last 20 that I'd love to lose are located!  That mixed with the sag factor of what is there is not a pretty sight!  For a 28 year old who can wear a size 4/6 I have some pretty hideous thighs!!!  Everything north of my knees is just awful!  Thank God I like skirts and can rock some great heels, makes my calves look good enough to somewhat make up for the fact that I have to wear everything knee lenght! :)  Awesome job for you!  Keep it up!

Paula I so hear ya. but know that it could be worse...like my legs, I carried most of my weight in my thighs and but and at 325 that was a lot of skin stretching. I'm 29 and it stinks that unless I have skin removed I will be wearing nothing shorter than a bermuda short ever. I would take what you call hideous thighs any time!

Sounds like we're in the same boat!  If I could just hang upside down all the time, my legs would look great!
