  • Many many many times....everything from the open mouth gape, to the "Holy crap you scared the bejeezus outta me!", to the wide eyed/craned neck up and down/up and down/up and down, to the standard "Are you a model??".....heck - I've even been asked if I know Hagrid....(that was by a little girl, and I took no offense ;-).…

  • Many moons ago...2nd date with a guy...1st date was kinda blah - but gave it another shot. Between school, work and kids - I was jam packed schedule wise, but I rearranged a few things, called in a few favors and managed to get a free evening. We met for dinner, and he proceeded to "dazzle" me with a non-stop diatribe…

  • Hated it in 6th grade...hid it until I was about 21 - then gave up wishing to be short on every birthday candle...threw all my flats away and decided to own it. Nowadays you won't catch me in anything smaller than a 3" heel....

  • When I realized I had gained back over half of the weight I worked my butt off to lose 12 years prior. And I had literally busted out of the zipper of the one skirt that fit me. I had purposely gotten rid of all my old large clothes the first time around to discourage me from relaxing back into old habits - and I was…

  • What a fantastic story! That so well described a few forays I'd had in the dressing room in the past...every emotion, every fear, every action...Thank you for voicing it all so very very well!! Congrats!

  • That's exactly it! It made me realize just how many calories I was putting away on a daily basis...even when I wasn't hungry. By seeing it in black and white made me scratch my head and say.."Damn...it really does add up fast!". It's given me the confidence to feel in control of my day. And the bonus exercise tab makes me…

  • LOL - I have a gorgeous blue dress that always made me feel slimmer and wonderful...it now hangs on me like a loose curtain. But I still love and miss that dress...may have to go buy it in my target size before it goes out of season....

  • I usually got my 36" inseam pants from VS, NY & Co carries longs too - but I think only to 35". There is an online store called Long Tall Sally that does up to 38" inseam...
    in Where do you find clothes! Comment by beniky July 2013
  • 5'11...3" heels is my daily height...I have a 4" pair. I wore a 4" pair to a brunch one year...and a little girl very slowly looked up at me, from my toes to the top of my head and asked with wide eyes and awe... "Do you know Hagrid???". And since I was a size 4 at the time, I took no offense but had a very good long laugh…

  • Nope - I have a few - my old clothes are my main motivators. I use a pair of jeans that we so tight at the beginning I was literally in pain wearing them (they started off fitting perfect when I first got them as my weight was creeping upwards still)...I try them on every Friday morning...not to wear them...but to see how…
    in Goal outfit or article of clothing...? Comment by beniky July 2013
  • I work 9am - 4pm M-F...I set my elliptical next to my bed...so as I open my eyes in the morning...I can't avoid it. If I skip it in the morning - I am on it the moment I get home. During the school year...kids have to be dropped off at 7am...so I hit my office gym before work. No excuses.
    in Full time workers, when do you go to the gym? Comment by beniky July 2013
  • You bet...when I am at goal weight. Mine are mainly on my lower abdomen, so I grabbed a high waisted bottom piece and a halter top bikini from VS (they had the mix and match options)...the bottom hits just under my belly button, and is just loose enough to not cling to that extra little roll of extra skin due to carrying a…
