My beautiful bracelet that he bought me a couple of years ago is now so big it falls off. We are trying to find a jeweler who can make it smaller. So far, the three we have taken it to said they won't even try. It is very delicate and because of how it is made they just can't do it . One told me well we can pop the diamonds out and make you a different one. They have no idea about sentimental value do they.

Made you feel good didn't it. Good, you deserve to feel good.

I had to adjust my watch band to make it smaller. I can not remember the last time that happened.

It's funny that we have this jewelry theme going on right now. Must be the season for it

Tonight I went to Target and bought a jacket and a shirt and it wasn't in their Plus Size section! Now granted, the jacket and the shirt are a size XXL, but I didn't have to step foot in their horrid Plus Size section - which I always thought unfairly had such a small, unattractive selection compared to the regular section.

Nice going. Bet that really made you feel good. Do you find you buy bigger clothes than what you need.

I went out this winter ( a couple of weeks ago ) and bought myself a couple of cheap tv shirts that came with thermal long sleeve shirts. I didn't think anything of it. I picked up the 2x's ( because I have always liked stuff nice and baggy ). My husband saw me in them and he wondered why I bought them so big. I said I didn't think anything of it, you know I like stuff baggy. He said ummm dear there was a time that size was nice and baggy now they are down right hanging off your body. KNOCK IT OFF. You don't wear a 1x anymore you wear a large lol. I went and got a new t shirt and thermal shirt again today ( same ones as before, they had them on sale for 5 dollars ) I wear a medium not a large lol. I got the large anyway because I like them nice and big and baggy hehehe.

Shy - you must feel so great!! Way to go

I'm struggling with victories right now. PMS has taken over my brain - and its telling me to eat terrible things!!

So I guess my victory is NOT giving in to the temptation of greasy foods & chocolate - which has been very hard these past few days!

I jumped on the trampoline with my kids yesterday and it wasnt as bad on me as it was about 2 months ago. Last time, I thought I was going to die and yesterday was just half of that. haha.. so much fun though and the kids love seeing moma jump hahaha

That is great. Bounce around, have a bit of fun with the kids. What a great way to do something good for you body. Half dead is always better than dead in my book lol.

It is real important for me to notice things like those shirts. I see very little difference in how I look right now and how i looked 50 pounds ago. I mean, I do see a difference but not that much. I do feel good about myself. What I am doing is pretty easy and it seems to be working. HEY don't lesson a victory of control. That is a very important victory.

I just tried on the dress that I bought for my college graduation party, and it fit! And, according to pictures from the party (oh, you bet I pulled out the pictures!) it's looser now than it was then.

Since my weight rose steadily from graduation, this means that I am now the thinnest I've been in my whole post-college life. I can't wait until I go home for the big family visit in April.

Thats great. Think about it, that dress is going to be to big before to much longer.

Shirts that I bought in December now fit over my hips!!

And easter is only a week away - and I still have not purchased or eaten 1 piece of candy - woohooo!!!!!

I'm not quite sure how to put this into words, but here goes...

this morning I was sitting down and went to rest my hand on my (huge, pregnant-like) belly... and was surprised to find that my hand had to drop several inches further than I thought, to reach it. And it felt sort of deflated. The belly is definately leaving...

My NSV is that my belt is now on its last notch...I"m looking around trying to find someone who can punch another notch in my belt so I won't have to buy a new one. =)

I went to a family party this weekend. Most folks have not seem me since I've lost this weight - I got many compliments on my looks and efforts. It felt good.

Star - I've used a nail & a hammer before to put a another hole. Or, most shoe repair places can do it.

THanks, Lifeguard!!! I'll look into doing that! =)
