Thank you guys!! I just went out today and bought four pairs of cordouroys (I LOVE cords) in a size 8!! I got size 6's buttoned, but they were a little too snug.
Well, I don't think that I will ever be able to tuck my shirt in! Still have that "waterbed" belly that sticks out a little bit. Hopefully the skin will go back to normal in time though.
Being that I started in January, the only really "major" holiday I dealt with was Easter. I really didn't have that hard of a time controlling myself. The day before I made sure I ate light and that day, I just ate until I was satisfied...not overly stuffed. And yes, I did let myself eat some chocolate!! The same with any holiday though...don't over stuff yourself, be concious of what your eating, really ENJOY what your eating, and don't over-do it!
I mixed the exercise up. Started with strictly aerobics DVD's. Then did the DVD's plus walked, then worked up to walking/jogging. Now, I'm mainly just walking/jogging. When it gets cold out, I'll probably mix it up again between the DVD's and walking. Right now I really haven't regularly exercised in about 3 weeks. I'm getting married in 2 weeks and there is just too much to do, I've been sick with a cold, and now I'm just plain exhausted. Funny thing is, though I haven't really been exercising, I've still lost like 7 pounds in the past 3 weeks! LOL
What I mainly wanted to do was to be able to wear whatever I wanted and not be limited to only what I could fit into and what was available in my size. I wanted to be sexy!!! Now I am! LOL
