So my quest for jeans took me to Old Navy...
I figure that the have sizes from very,very small to size 20 in the store. So I went to try on their size 20 jeans and to my delight they fit perfectly! So I'm shooting for an 18 by the rehearsal dinner of a wedding that I'm in on September 10 and a size 16 by Christmas day. I think that's doable right?

Which is better..?
I keep finding myself at the end of the day under the 1200 calorie mark, and I know it's important to eat at least that many. Is it better to eat a lot at the end of the day to catch up to 1200, or should I just try to get back on track the next day and leave it under 1200?

Trying a new strategy
Well... a new strategy for me anyway. Starting today, I'm having my husband take pictures of me from the front, side and back. (He hates this. He's supportive of my efforts and wants me to be happy, but thinks this is unnecessary roughness. Thank you, Lord, for husbands like this!) I'll do this at each 10-pound-loss…

How is this possible?
I've lost so much weight, and I'm not done yet, but I'm absolutely hating the look of my body!! I have so much loose skin and I'm disgusted when I look in the mirror. I know it sounds vain, but it's true. Guess I might as well start saving for the nip/tuck/snip/suck surgeries now... :ohwell:

Not Losing Weight Plateau Heeeelp Please
I have been wearing my body bugg for a month. I love that it shows me my actual calorie burn. However, I have not lost any weight. For two weeks my total calorie deficit is 9300... with this number I would expect about a 2.5 lb weight loss...instead I have only lost .5. What could I be doing wrong?

I have been logging exercise from work as " walking with a dog" as it seems the closest thing, but I don't have a dog! :blushing: When Iog calories from walking "with a dog" what I'm actually doing is walking pretty fast pushing a buggy ( buggy + 2 babies weighs approx 40kgs) and it's quite hilly where I work. I'd like to…

When I go to work, can that be included in my exercise target? I work on shopfloor so for the full 4 hours of my shift I'm walking around. I suppose I never thought of it as exercise before but I was just wondering how I could monitor it.

Buying pants sized 14-16

Lane Bryant or Dress Barn has clothes…
