Went shopping today...

DjBliss05

and bought lots of stuff to help with my MFP program.

First, I got a Polar F6! I was so excited about the possibility of finding out that I was actually burning more calories than I thought. Turns out, that wasn't the case. :grumble: But at least I am being more accurate now and that is a good thing.

Second, I got a biggest loser scale. I was so excited about the possibility of finding out that a new scale might weigh me lower than the old one. Turns out, it doesn't work like that. :grumble: I weighed a full 6 pounds more on the new one! After using it once, the battery died. I will try again with a new battery. Not sure I am a big fan of biggest loser scales... seems like it wasn't really worth the money.

BUT I also decided to try on clothes at Target. I bought two pairs of pants back in September in size 18 and they are great considering it is way cheaper than Lane Bryant. I figured maybe it would be ok to try a 16 this time. (a comfortable size 16 is my first goal for christmas!) AND THEY ZIPPED UP! Hehe. I was so excited. I also got a cute shirt in a XXL and it made me look really thin. It wasn't even from the plus size section! :glasses: So, I have decided that I'm not quite in a size 16... some things fit and some don't stand a chance, but I am really darn close. I took those jeans home b/c I know they will look amazing in 5 more pounds.

I needed a little boost today and even though everything didn't work out as planned today, I feel really good. Oh! And guys working at the sporting goods store may even have been flirting with me! So crazy... I love that all this hard work is really starting to show up.

great work!

Doesn't it feel wonderful to try on clothes in smaller sizes?

I know it's an ego booster for me.

Congrats, sounds like a productive day! Trying on clothes is my new favourite thing to do! :laugh: Hello size 10!

Oh and boot that new scale out the window and stick with the old one! nobody needs to gain 6 lbs like that! The scale at my gym weighs me 4 lbs heavier than the one at home :grumble: I stoppes using it, it just depresses me! :drinker:

Aha. Oh, man.

I just bought the F6, too. Wore it to the gym and it tells me I burned 1100 calories. :noway:

Mind you, I was there like two and a half hours, and pushed really hard, but... woah?
