I love that! I still get carded every once in a while - about every 3rd time we go out. Nothing better!

I just noticed my watch keeps slipping all over the place. It's on a regular leather band. I thought I had just failed to put it in the normal slot. Seems there's only ONE smaller and of course that one is TOO tight. So looks like I'll have a sloppy watch. Also noticed my wrist bones. WOW!! I haven't seen those puppies in AGES!! AND I'VE GOT FEET!!! I can see them when I look down. Which means not only did the stomach shrink but so did the hooters!! WOOT WOOT!!! hehehehe.

Wa-hooooooooo! :cb:

Gosh this is all so exciting!!!! I have the same watch problem. I took some links out about 4 months ago and again it is slipping all around on my arm. Not to mention I bought some new shoes this week and they were a WHOLE SIZE smaller than normal. I didn't even realize I had fat feet :lol:

The strangest thing happened to me last night. I was sitting down and having a beer with DH when I happened to notice my forearm. The part towards my elbow is still way bigger than my wrist area. I was so disappointed! I glared at my arm for a minute and then poked at it. OMG - it's a muscle! I have a muscle there! And it's rock hard! I just about fell off the couch laughing - I had no idea there was a muscle like that there. :lol:

SP- i am getting that muscle there too!!! And on my wrist I can see those bones that look like a bump on the outside of your wrist. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Yup, muslces on my arms...AND calves. I used to always think my calves were cool (before gaining this ton of weight). They were toned. It's the thighs to the waist that was the turnoff :lol:

B- I was just checkin out my calves at the gym last night and they are BUFFED!! MUscle and hard as a rock! They always jump right back into shape, it is all that horse showing and riding I used to do forever, keeping your heels down all the time makes for strong calves I guess. :)

lol. Mine was from weight lifting in school. I used to love the leg lifts. I could out-lift all the girls in my class. They were such prissy wimps. :lol:

TG - you must have done dressage ;)

Ok, here's my strange realization from yesterday:

I was looking and my before and so far measurements. Before, it was 42-37-47. Now it's 36-25.5-35.5 It hit me yesterday that my hips right now are 1.5 inches smaller than my waist was this time last year! :faint:

Talk about strange!

You are doing SO great Star. You're truly an inspiration. I don't think I'll ever get as close to MY goal as you are!

What are you talking about, Brenda? You're only 11 pounds away from your goal of 130. That's only 2 pounds behind me.

Silly woman! ;)

lol. I guess it just doesn't seem like my goal weight is attainable for me. :lol: It's much easier to think and see you all getting your goal weights and challenges while I stick at this weight. I keep having to remind myself it's to the "hard" part now. Where the body's not happy about letting go of the remaining fat. And that SOMEDAY it'll happen :)

Bumping this back up. I know you guys have some more to add!!!

I don't know if I've mentioned this one before, but unless I'm very careful about positioning, my knees get very sore when I sleep on my side - there's not much cushion anymore ;)

I got my first pair of knee-high boots ever! Yippee!!!!

The cheer outfit I had to "hold together at the top" ( we all know this move right?) to get zipped, slid on and zipped like a breeze...and tomorrow I wear it!
