I have memories of emptying the rack in Marks and Spencer in Croydon to stock up on knickers. I must've come away with about thirty pairs! :lol:

I'm in Edmonton now. It's the nicest city I've ever lived in, but I'm really a country lass at heart.

Hi, everyone. Good for you folks on cutting back both on pounds and on smoking -- you can do it all the way!

I lost a pound this week, happiness. :) My jeans arrived from Lanebryant.com today, and they fit! They're 20-tall, and far too long, but they fit great. I'm actually hoping they shrink a lot in length. Since the fashion's to wear bootcut jeans really long -- like dragging the ground -- I can probably wear regular womens rather than talls next time. That's a switch, for I normally have to buy talls. These were on clearance for $9.99 and struck while the iron was hot!

And looking mighty fine in those jeans I might add. :o ;)

I lost 2 more this week and now am somwhat safely in the 290's. 3 lbs I worry about the odd gain putting me back over but I've never gained over 5 in one week. Not that I plan on any gain but I still feel better the furthur in the 200's I get.

:D Howie! Yes, the switch from relaxed fit to bootcut is dramatic.

Nice to see the whole family losing weight and looking good, Howie and Kimberlie!

Howie's and my mom have both lost weight, too. It's epidemic! :D
