Pickles - I don't ride on my own yet, so far just with my man and I like it that way a lot. I have always wanted my own bike though, some day when I don't have school finances to worry about... I love your shape by the way, you look so much better in 12s than I ever did.

ryeb- you and Pickles are making me blush! I went back over your pics - you're doing great! Totally jealous of your hair/face. You're quite striking! I completely understand the feeling fatter now even though you know you've lost so much. I had one of those days on Wednesday not two hours after taking that picture. As I lost my weight I went from hourglass to inverted triangle/apple. I lost my booty first so I began to see how big my midsection/boobs were in comparison. On one level I know I'm skinny and on another I feel pudgy because my lower torso is so compressed and I pucker in below my hip bones. Oh to be pear-shaped.

I just noticed how HUGE they are!! SORRY!
i got some more pics!!! HUGE non scale victory for me!!!! i'm in a size 10. I tried it in 3 different brands :O and Medium tops, the odd large but thats more for the boobs haha.

i'm also fitting in to my old Bikini! i got a few pics :P I'm just so happy right now! because i do not have a scale at the moment so i dont know what my weight is so i'm very happy/surprised! woot woot!

Also do any of you ladies have a good website for bathing suits? or bikini's?

Luci- OMG!! I want to rock a bathing suit like that! We weigh pretty much the same and I look seriously like 30lbs heavier =/ You are doing freaking awesome!! And no, I do not know where to buy bathing suits, I am still dreading the thought lol

Box- Thank you so much for the compliments. No lie, I was always the ugly girl in school, so it is weird to be called pretty now. I have people compliment me, and I still feel like that awkward girl. I am 27, so you would think I would have out grown it by now. As for the want to be pear shaped, I hear you! I want you to walk to a wall, rub the wall, now you know what my booty feels like lol I have NOTHING! Now that I am losing my love handles, I have like NO curve. I am curious to see just what type of body I have in the next 30 lbs!

aww thank you so much!!!

luciddepths - try hm.com They have some great suits at awesome prices!
