You had an unfair advantage - you were able to melt the excess away on
that hot texas beach! I am absorbing water through my pores up here
this week! (G)

Besides, I'm sure that the mosquitoes drew off that much in blood.

The house temp is 67.5F. I just returned from my meeting and turned
on the heat.

Ounces would have been a nice gain. Pounds!!!

Yes, even those zippers will add. I hope those pants arrive by next
week's WI (G)

Jeans might have thrown me over. I restarted Journalling today.

My son has a few pairs of those convertible pants, loves them. I
don't
think
you're going to extremes at all ... ya gotta do what you gotta do.
Just
remember
if you are a few ounces up, there are extra zippers on those pants.

Can you say "shivering" which might earn me some activity points!

Just yesterday I ordered those "convertible" pants that have a zip
off
leg. They can be shorts or pants. Is this going to extremes? I
think YES!!!

My bet - up this week!

I have the perfect solution for you, wish I could say it's
original
but
it's only
an observation I have made while watching others. Why not wear
those
slinky jeans
that are making you feel so wonderful. When you get to the ww
store, slip
into
the bathroom and change into your lighter shorts ... after
weighing,
right
back
into the bathroom to change back. You'll get your lighter
weight,
also
letting
others see how gorgeously slim you really are. Then again, you
could just
wear
those jeans and consider it some clothing cushion for colder days
ahead
(although,
I'm not sure you ever get any colder days). On the other hand,
even
wearing those
cotton shorts I imagine others are seeing you slimmer than you
realize. I
always
feel fat when wearing my sweats. Funny thing is, those are the
items I
tend to
get more comments from (maybe I really do look fat? G). Now
aren't I
the
helpful one. EG

I am so thrilled for you Lesanne, know how wonderful you are
feeling - had
tears
(happy ones) in my eyes just reading about your newest victory.
This is
one area
I know everyone is sincere in their replies of joy. We all
honestly
do
know how
you feel. We've also reached milestones that we couldn't dream
of
before.
And
what wonderful feelings they are!

I had a similar experience yesterday regarding my new size vs.
former
size -
nothing child related though. G Had that nasty visit to the
dentist to
have the
root canal done. When sitting in the chair, I realized there was
nowhere
to put
my arms. There was too much excess room on the chair, so arms
didn't
quite reach
the armrests comfortably when reclining. The belly is gone, so
couldn't
really
rest them there either. What a fun dillema to find myself in.
LOL

Congrats on your newest accomplishment hon. Please do let us
know
what
path you
chose this morning!

since I
made goal. The official ww loss for the same time is .2 or some

know if I go in my old cotton shorts outfit, I am going to weigh
in
officially down 2 or 3. If I go in my new size 10 jeans
everyone
is
going

Ah decisions decisions.... And thank goodness I get to make em
instead
of
being flat up against the goal number and forced to wear the
shorts.

I am sittin here about in tears. When that 159.5 showed up? I
have not
been in the 50's on any scale since I was a teen. And the other
day
grandbaby got inside one of those tube things at the park and
would
not
come
out, and I said to myself Hey, there are Kids that weigh what I
do,
betcha I
can go get her. In I went. Lotsa room. Makes me dream of
airplane
seats.
We both sat there and laughed like loons. I have a new life.

We could be a new comedy act. Amazon woman and The Frozen North Man...
