Went to store with mom today Said she was returning a sweater she bought on Friday - but decided she didn't like.



Returned sweater - she knows I hate to clothing shop (especially when losing weight - what's the point - right?) Well, she says - they are having these big 60 % or more sales - she convinced me -- cheap enough to buy it anyway...let's just "look" we found some nice stuff.... and...lots of stuff I put on - was too big... LOL - had to look at smaller stuff.. Mom came in with a neat outfit -- said here -" try this - don't look at the size. Put it on," she says ..... -" ZIPPER side pants? - my god - not me!" I cry --- "Put it on," she says.... -- zipped up --- they fit -- ! uh oh my gosh -- they are .... size 18 I've dropped from a 22 to a size 18 oh my gosh! I've been bad over the holiday - abandoned the diet..... back on it today.. LOL

Congrats!!! I buy a lot of zipper side pants (even though I am a 28) from Avenue because they do flatter my figure and are so comfy. I hope you bought those pants!

Woo Hoo! Congrats, Cheryl! I think I had a pair of side zip pants in high school, but not since. But then, I hate to clothes shop too! Jeans are fast and easy! (But I'm not! Ha. Ha.)

CONGRATS, Cheryl!!

Woohoo!!!! Congrats Cheryl, what a rush!

Just before Xmas I went shopping with DD. She convinced me to try a pair of jeans on (I tend to wear leggings and sweats and anything else with elastic LOL). I found jeans that really fit nicely and I'm really pleased. Mike says they look good, too. I hadn't realized how much I missed wearing them.

Cheryl,

That is SO great and I know exactly how you feel. I've lost almost 50 pounds since Avner was born. I've got 3 events this month and was fretting over what to wear since I don't have to wear nursing apparel. Jon suggested I go shopping in my own closet and lo and behold, 2 dresses (form fitting, sexy but subdued) that I used to love but haven't fit into for 5 years, they FIT! One is even a size 16 (misses not plus!). And a few weeks ago a bought 2 new pair of pants in a 16W and new jeans in a misses 18. A far cry from the size

20-22 I was wearing pre-pregnancy.

You go girl!! :-)

hey, that's great!!! If you can do that being bad, just think what will happen when all the holiday tempting is out of the way and you are back to diet and excercise!!!! I hope you reach your healthy goals in 2004! Your knees and hips and other parts will be very glad for you too. Sarajane

Very wonderful news! I do not mean anything by this link I am posting, because it helped me lose over 50 pounds and than I took a break and am getting ready to get my life back and start again. It's a great site if you want to know how to manage food and to find out what's really in that Filet - O Fish sandwich people think is healthy. :)
