Hi! My name is Elise. I currenlty live in the Texas Panhandle. I struggled with being "chubby" all my life but became obese after having children. Just last year I decided I had finally had enough and needed to try AGAIN to lose the weight. Well, I really thank God I did because I have successfully lost 70 pounds and…

I have not found this to be true. Sometimes I lost more than that before going down a size. After adding in weight training I went down a size after losing only 2 pounds on the scale. Depends on your body composition changes.

Same here! I've lost almost 70 #'s and I feel like I cannot get warm. I was always the one that would shock people I shook hands with due to the warmth of my hands. I'm glad it is getting warmer!

My fave breakfast is 1/2 cup Oats cooked in water. Then I add 1T each of walnuts, ghirardeli semi sweet chocolate chips, and clover honey. It is about 370 calories and it is delicious. Of course now I can't eat oatmeal w/o chocolate because it just doesn't taste as good!

Wearing something too big or too small will make anyone look larger. If you really want to buy online rather than local (where you can try on) I would try my best to judge by the way the 14 fits you. Foundation graments do a good job of smoothing things out but if any clothing is too tight it will create bulges in places…
