None of my jeans fit anymore without falling off my hips... even a pair of 14s I bought a couple months ago which were quite tight are so loose you can't really see my butt in them... and if I'm going to wear jeans... I want to show off my butt darn it!
So I went to the Gap today to browse the jeans... I expected to still be a 14 (for some crazy reason) but tried a few 12 (of course they mostly fit... only a couple pairs didn't button)... and I ended up falling for a pair of "skinny...

So I realized I have one suit that fits and several important meetings in the coming weeks... and I can't wear the SAME suit to all of them.So I bit the bullet and invested in a dress suit today even knowing I'll only get a few uses out of it as I transition sizes.
It's a little on the snug side (a size 12, but I can still breathe comfortably) so I should be able to wear it for another 15-20 lbs.
It is pretty form fitting which isn't usually my style in the office... but it sure ...
Bones!

A friend of mine was telling me the other day that I have a beautiful collar bone.Considering I never even knew I HAD a collar bone about 6 months ago... I take that as a much more profound compliment than my friend could even know.

I am but a partial pound away from being in the coveted 180s which is a goal for me before my vacation (which starts this Saturday). Holy motivation batman!...
OH YEAH... who's in a size TWELVE for the first time in her life???

ME! ME!!You heard it... for the first time in my life I am wearing a size 12 pants. I bought them a few weeks ago and they were still too tight to wear in public.
I've bought a couple size 12 skirts but pants are a whole different territory cause I have traditionally had a big behind and rather large legs. Pants have always been a very sensitive issue for me.
So yeah, getting into (comfortably) a size 12 pant is a huge success for me. Even when I lost weight the first time, I ...
Every twenty pounds...

I was talking to a coworker a few weeks ago about weight loss. She, herself, lost somewhere around 50 lbs last year through weight watchers and has kept it off. I know it was a long, personal battle for her to drop the weight so when she engages in conversation with me about my weight loss or compliments me... it means a lot.So when I saw her a few weeks ago and she really remarked on my weight loss and the difference she could see - I was really honoured.
She made a comment that sh...
