I lost one this week. It's annoying that it's going so slowly but I was visiting family for a few days which threw me for a slight loop. At least it's something!

Ok, it's official......I'm down 2 pounds from last week. I was really hoping for more, because I've started cycling my calories, and this appeared to have expedited my loss of the previous week (3 pounds.) I was really hoping to report that I'd made my second goal, but I'll survive....I'm only 2 pounds away, so I'm sure it'll happen very soon. Maybe this afternoon?

I'll keep you posted.

Look at all the losers this week. WTG

Dana--I wouldn't worry too much yet about not gaining. I actually lost 13 pounds while I was PG this last time (well actually I lost 17 but gained 4 the last few months of pregnancy)

Sarah--You'll more than likely be there next week.

Congratulations everyone that lost and maintained this week!!

I am down 3 from last week, to 233.

lessofsarahtolove · 07-21-2004, 01:20 PM

That's great, Raelynn! You go!

Raelynn · 07-21-2004, 01:25 PM

Thanks Sarah

You know what I noticed, we have almost the same starting and current weights.

lessofsarahtolove · 07-21-2004, 01:34 PM

I know!! I always keep an eye on your progress.......didn't you ever get any needling feeling that you were being watched?

lessofsarahtolove · 07-21-2004, 01:36 PM

Hey, if you don't mind my asking, what size are you wearing now? I've gone from a 26/3X to an 18/20 pant and 20/22 top. I'm a work in progress, but I'm headed in the right direction, thank heaven....

Raelynn · 07-21-2004, 01:44 PM

LOL now i'm all paranoid I'm being watched

(j/k LOL)

at my highest (where I had no muscle or anything) I was a size 24/26, waist was 49 inches and wore 46DDD on the top. I am really big boned and tall also (which is why my goal weight is 170).

now at 233, I am wearing XL on the top (or sometimes 1X - my chest has totally disappeared compared to what it was before, my 38DD bras are getting lose -cry- here in Canada, we don't use the 18/20/22 size chart for shirts usually, it's 1X, 2X etc - or maybe I just shop at the wrong stores LOL). My 18 pants are starting to get loose, but 16s are not comfortable yet and I measured yesterday and my waist is 37 inches now.

How tall are you and do you have a large frame too?

lessofsarahtolove · 07-21-2004, 01:53 PM

I'm 5'6", and I don't think my frame is especially big, although my boobs are!

And that's AFTER a breast reduction, thank you very much!

I'd absolutely LOVE it if they would go away -- I think they make me look even bigger, and they're the reason I have to wear a larger top than bottom.

Raelynn · 07-21-2004, 01:55 PM

LOL I used to hate my chest, but now seeing how quickly it's disappearing, and also realising that I actually come from a family of small-breasted women (ie mom and sister are very flatchested), I know i am in for some of the same when I reach my goal - but I'm actually excited in a way LOL.

lessofsarahtolove · 07-21-2004, 02:13 PM

I loved it when mine were smaller (after the reduction.) I felt so much more graceful and agile, and my clothing fit better. I still felt utterly feminine, but in a way that was just very, very different than the way that I do with the big boobies. More Audrey Hepburn, and less Mae West, you know?

tolose85 · 07-21-2004, 04:23 PM

I hear ya on the boob thing... I feel like thats all you see coming especially since I lost weight and actually have a figure! I'll work on that later.. They are getting smaller though I am almost comfortable in a D Vs. the DDD I was wearing a few months ago! I am hoping I have a loss this week.. Oh you guys, I went to red lobster and they have a light menu with all calories/fat/carbs broken down on it.. It's their "lighthouse" menu. They have some really great choices and I am not even a seafood fan!

I love new discoveries such as this one!

lessofsarahtolove · 07-21-2004, 04:41 PM

OOh, that's a great tip! Thanks, Gretchen...

mezmerize · 07-21-2004, 07:05 PM

Thanks for your very warm welcomes! I'll introduce myself I just turned 40 July 16th

and I know that is why I haven't lost this week. My sister threw a surprise B-Day party for me And I partied.

Now I'm paying for it. I did go over my points but I thought I had made it up by exercising and not eating all my points. I was wrong.

Here's my stats.
239 (7-9)
234 (7-14)
234 (7-21)

Thanks for taking time out to read this. Mez
