I needed a little bit of a pick me up today. Missing my husband, scale hasn't moved in a week, recent suicide on base brought up some old issues, etc. I had to order some new shirts a couple weeks ago (I always lose from my top half first) and now my bottom half is catching up! Ordered two pairs of size 18 jeans this morning. I'm pretty sure they'll fit because I'm wearing a size bigger in the same cut right now and I can get them on and off without unbottoning them. I guess we'll see next week

YAY! I'm sure they'll fit you perfectly, if not also a little loose. Congrats!!! I love moving down a size. It's so satisfying in a tangible way.

Thanks, Dread. I noticed we're the same age and close to the same stats. Want a diet buddy? I know you're doing SBD and I'm doing calorie counting but it would be nice to have a support system with these things in common.

Way to go Lambie! But don't get too attached to those brand new 18's. You'll be ordering 16's before you know it!

Excellent job!

I'd love to have a diet buddy, Lambie! You're right - I didn't even realize it, but our stats are almost the same. I'm not really sure what a diet buddy does, but it sounds like more personal focused support/accountability to each other? I'd like that.

Just lemme know what to do! lol

Exactly. Just a little more personal. The 3FC community is so large I feel like I get lost in the mix. It'd be nice to know we have each others backs.

I can't pm you because I'm so new, but I think you can pm me? Should we exchange email addresses?

I tried to pm you but I can't because you're so new. We can start a thread somewhere though and communicate through that.

Congrats!! That is such an amazing feeling!!! I have been waiting foreeeever it seems like, to be able to get new jeans! Finally 50 whole pounds later, I can!

Keep up the good work!!!

Fantastic job, Lambie. It's so neat to "shrink out of" your old clothes, isn't it? So much better than growing out of them if we gain weight! Keep up the great work.

PS - I like to think of the 100 pound club members all as my diet buddies. Many of the threads get very chatty and I sometimes feel lost in the crowd, too, but individual challenges are a great place to keep in contact with a smaller number of people working toward the same goal, regardless of starting stats. Maybe you could start a challenge for you and Mandy - but don't be surprised if others join in.

Whoo hoo! Love new jeans

I'm okay with others joining in. We should brainstorm over what challenge we want for ourselves!

good going lambiechop!! Please report back once your new smaller pants arrive!

Yeah!!!!
