SWWC Week 12 Laura (LJ)
I fully understand. I got a lot of comments at work but did not want
to buy too many new sports jackets, slacks, etc. So I held off. But recently put on a suit that was only a year old. It did not work at all. It was absolutely ridiculous. I'm not sure that alteration will help but a tailor suggested I bring it in and see if it can be totally rebuilt for a decent price. But at the same time, it is neat having this "too big" problem and it is the clothes that are too big, not me! (G) On Fri, 26 Sep 2003 12:07:00 GMT, "Laura" wrote: Thanks Fred. I am hoping that the clothes that I have don't look too baggy for a few more months. Would like to hold off buying new clothes until I am down another size. Hopefully by the spring. |

Thanks Elaine. I am looking forward to the next weight challenge too.

And for those that have little gains this week, hang in there. They'll soon come off too. Now the good news. I'm down 1.5lb to 223. Made my SWWC goal by 2. I've made it to Curves 4 days this week too. I even made it there Saturday morning at 8am before the rest of the family woke up. I'm really enjoying stopping there on my way home from work each day. I'm finding that I am much more relaxed at home in the evenings. I guess exercise is a good way to relieve stress. I'm starting to notice that some of my smaller sized cloths are fitting again. I pulled out a pair of pants for work today and discovered they were size Large and they fit. That explains why the new pair of 1X pants were too big. Hopefully they will shrink in the wash this weekend so they won't be so baggy the next time I wear them. Have a good week everyone. -- ~~Laura (LJ)~~ 246/223/221 10% 237/223/225 SWWC started WW 4/21/03 |

If the piece is worth money then get it altered. That's why god created tailors. g -- ~~Laura (LJ)~~ 246/223/221 10% 237/223/225 SWWC started WW 4/21/03 |

Thanks Connie. I really like curves. I will be going tomorrow morning before
the family wakes up. I might stop and get a large Dunkin Donuts coffee on my way home as a treat too. French Vanilla is on my mind right now. "Connie Walsh" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Julie and Laura. I will take the suit in this coming week and
get an appraisal. I like the suit. On Sat, 27 Sep 2003 08:31:54 +1000, "JulieB" wrote: "Fred" wrote in message .. . I fully understand.

You'll have to post a picture of you in the final product.
