shopping report
I know it's been a while since I initiated a post, but I wanted to
give a small update while I have the time. I have been lurking here, however! Last saturday I was scouring garage sales for pants. This summer, my sizes have started to drop, so I find it hard to buy full priced clothing while in transition. On the other hand, I can't wear gigantic clothes. No luck at any of the tag sales, so I moved on to the Salvation Army. I walked out of there with 2 pairs of jeans in size 12 (roomy & comfy for now) 1 pair of jeans in a 10 (I'll get there very very soon, fit fine, but a little more snug than I care for) and 1 pair of GAP khakis in...wait for it...size 8. 8! Me! I think the last time I wore an 8, I was a freshman in high school. I have been a 16 so long I never imagined the euphoria! LOL! So, I know I'm not an 8 and it was probably a freak, but they fit me like they came from a tailor. :-) Great ego boost. I am 2 lbs away from my original short term goal, so I'm officially dropping my sig to my next STG. As an added bonus, due to my WOL, hubby has lost those pesky 20lbs that have plagued him for the last 5 years or so. It's nice to see the family getting healthy! Ally 212/162/140 |

Jen 210/200/140 Thanks! I have been at it since March. I typically eat 1200 cals m-f and 1500 on the weekends. I also exercise about 14 hours a week, which sounds like a lot, but swimming in the summer doesn't feel like work to me! :-) I'm not sure what WOE/WOL you're following, but this has worked out awesome for me and I can live with it forever. :-) Good Luck & I'll be watching your progress!
