Urthwurm - You look fantastic! Look at the definition in your waistline and your arms look AMAZING!

Urthwurn you look great!

Urthworm, you are looking fantastic. 65lbs is so much to lose and you are so close to your goal. You should be sooo proud. Way to go!!!!

UrthWorm- you have a beautiful figure and great definition around your obliques...and the tan doesn't hurt :) I think that little pooch you are talking about will shrink to unnoticeable very soon. I still have that squishy area around my belly button at 130lbs, but I'm sure i'm the only one who notices it.

Stella- I think that outfit is adorable! love the boots and the dress combo. I am kind of sad I'm completely missing the plaid renaissance that seems to be happening, and I kind of dig buffalo check...maybe I can find something on sale in the Holiday mayhem and ride the tail end of the trend :)

Urthwurm, I have to say you look really great, I can really see a difference in the waist and arms, and your collarbones are very elegant :) I pretty much look like your before-picture, so it's really motivating to see your progress and it makes me want to try even harder at the gym so I can get a great after-picture too :)

I already posted this over in the mini-goals section, but I'm just so happy with today's excursion that I had to share!

Today I am thankful for.. Finally liking the way I look in clothes! :goodvibes Today was Black Friday, and I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to go shopping. I was armed with only a few dollars, but with a little monetary assistance from my grandma, I made out like a bandit. Among the things I bought, was my FIRST EVER knee-high skirt. I have rarely worn skirts throughout the 19 years I've been alive; I think the most occurrences were when I was a small child unable to dress myself. This has been the first skirt that wasn't ankle length, and I didn't hate wearing it. I felt fabulous!! We had a family dinner tonight to celebrate two birthdays. I got loads of compliments!! My grandpa asked if I was trying to beat his weight loss record, and how much I've lost! :D My grandma, less supportive of my weightloss, commented I was going to blow away in the wind. :lol: My great grandma kept mentioning to people that I looked so thin, and that I'd lost a lot of weight. She said I looked gorgeous. ;) Just wanted to share my glee! Here is a picture of the skirt; I'm still not happy with my legs, but my hips and waist are getting better every day! I also bought these really great pants-- for working out of course. There's a matching thick rimmed tank. AWESOME! I was just so happy, my sweetheart & I went a little camera crazy. Please excuse the following montage. PS: My butt looks fantastic in those pants!

Yay for shopping and meeting goals! Urthwurm, you look so good and I bet your family is super impressed/proud of you. Way to go! I really really like that skirt its so cute and I bet it feels incredible to be able to wear things that you were previously not able to. You're almost there. Keep it up! You can do it.

Urthworm I LOVE your sweater and skirt, very cute! And you're very right, your butt looks GREAT in those pants lol!

Thanks Stella! Maybe when I get to goal I'll have it altered and look for a class again.
