    Welcome back vixjean!!!

    Have a great night.
    Thank you for the welcome!!
  • I'm sooo glad the weekend is almost here. Plus, next week is spring break
  • Hi girls, I had a great weigh in this morning and am down to 167.2, lowest I have seen since, well, that I don't know.
    Hi Teacher!
    Here is a question for everyone,
    do you hem your pants or let them drag, how do you like petite pants (all pants)?
  • Vixjean, Congratulations on the great weigh-in!!!!

    I hem. I like anything that is petite if it is proportioned. My gripe is that some companies seem to just shorten the length a couple of inches, and leave the rest excactly the same as the regular sizes. To me, that means the garment will be way to long in the crotch and/or waist.
  • I don't sew so I just get my pants altered when needed. Most of the time I buy petite pants so I don't have to pay to get them shorter.
    Spring Break has started
  • Welcome Elisarae!

    Vixjean--No hemming here. I tend to just let stuff drag. I always buy petite but it still drags for me. Sometimes I just wear cropped pants as regular jeans.

    Next week is Spring Break here too teacher1. We do run a spring break camp though. I'm not supervising that one though. My role is to ensure the kids with disabilities enrolled in our elem camp and teen camp are included appropriately. I'm going to a workshop/meeting in Roanoke on Monday. I got another busy week ahead.
  • i usually let them drag too, no more than an inch or so too long, unless they are crazy, then i can hem them.
    However with petite pants (or professionally hemmed), I have noticed that they seem too short after a few washes.
  • Hi all,
    No change for my ticker this week but I'm sure it will go down after a week of workouts.
  • hi ladies-
    day 2 of my spring break and day 2 of my y classes. i'm sore but excited. 3 more days and classes to hit my spring break goal
  • Ok girls - I've been gone for a long time.. I fell off the Earth into Cubicle Hel! and I'm now trying to bite and claw my way out. If I was more on course - I'd be tiny enough to fit through the cracks.. but alas - with Cubicle hel - comes the "Open door refrigerator" problem. I have not been good at all lately. - But Shay knows all about how much I've been lost.

    I've Missed you all - Can I come home????
  • Enygirl- welcome back, sorry to hear work is so crazy. i've been around here lately but my weight loss isn't on target. so back to work for both of us you've lost so much weight already 52 pounds, that's great!!!!!
  • Thanks teach - truth is the first #30 wasn't trying.. and it's been over the last 2 years. But I figure I was #145 13 years ago, and #241 2 years ago.. so if in 10 years I put on #100 - then I shouldn't expect it to take 10 days to get it back off!

    Thanks for letting me back in
