Oh hey! That reminds me, I have a ring that needs to be resized!!! Isn't this fun - shopping our own stuff.

Being the oldest AND working through an injury is a major NSV. WTG!!!

Wow! Good news! I'll have to check that out @d_thomas02 How did you do it? I think mine is at 69, haven't checked it in a while. Been exercising for 2 months. New WOE about a year. Again, fantastic!!!

Today, I was at a friend's house. I stopped by to take her to the doctor and to ask her how to keep the rhinestones on my new jeans. I showed her the jeans, she immediately chucked and said, I just can't believe how small those jeans are. I laughed too bc I can hardly believe I fit in a size 12. I still have more weight to…

Yes! Thanks.

Losing weight is effecting every part of my wardrobe and my desire to take care of me. I just retired some old PJs for something silky and pretty. Anyone have opinions on gym clothes? I have been buying mine at Walmart. I like the Lycra stretchy stuff. I've seen some pants with compression built into the knees - that seems…

@simonfishburn Congratulations on your weight loss. We are in a similar boat. I lost 62.5 pounds, then joined a gym. I am working out with a personal trainer for the past 2 months. The scale has not budged, but I have lost 1 size in one month. I measure myself since and now my trainer is measuring me too. In the past…

My opinion of why I gained so much weight, about 90 pounds, continues to change. At first, I thought menopause, divorce, lower income, roommates, unhealthy friends & boyfriends and stress in general. After having lost 62.5 pounds, I realize I took a lot for granted. I have been thin my whole life. I never realized how…

I am still marveling over the little things. I feel like I have to write it somewhere, so I don't forget all the little things I gave up while gaining weight. So after a month's work on my core at the gym, I can easily put my jeans on - one leg at a time - while standing! Also, I always liked those ballet slippers for…

Barre class, hooray for you! and kudos on getting up the stairs without resting.

I found my former "favorite shorts" that I used wear in a size 16 or 18. Apparently, I bought them at Kohl's - they have an elastic waist. No more elastic waists for me! I will never overeat another meal.

This must be difficult, but if you do want to sell the items - you can try Craig's List. You might even have fun selling them on e-bay. As for fur coats, you must live in a cold climate. Older people tend to buy fur. Try putting it in the PennySaver. There are many older people who will not buy online and are more…

That's great! Do tell what shorts you buy. I forgot, I will need a couple shorts too. My favorite were from Walmart - cargo shorts with a bunch of pockets. They might have been Levi or Lee. At the end of last season, I bought a pair of sandals from Clarks - great deal. Enjoy!
-
Three pair of size 12 that legitimately fit. Bought 3 pair at Kohl's for under $100.00. I am set for quite awhile for my casual. I bought a few articles of clothing at Walmart for the gym. The outfits are super cute. The last thing I have to worry about is my professional wardrobe. Another size 14 professional outfit bit…

It would have been even funnier, if it read ... containing money on insurance by letting your friends on MFP diagnose you. Heehee

Took them out of my closet anyway! Now they are hidden in a guest room closet.
-
LMAO, Thanks.

I have gotten rid of a bunch of larger blouses, bathing suits, and shorts. My friend is super happy with the gently used clothes. I can't believe the urgency with which I am getting rid of the clothes. I still have a few clothes that only remind me of the horrible experience of menopause and the run away weight gain. The…

Since my Christmas FaceTime call with my family, I have been sending pics of myself to my sisters. One said, I didn't need to lose anymore. Today, I was at Walmart and got the same reaction from another shopper with whom we were sharing ideas about gym clothes. For the first time in 8 years, I fit back into a size 12. So I…

Embrace it !

It has been helpful in reducing BP, but after I lost a lot of weight - it was no longer necessary. ACV has helped with removing excess sodium. It has helped keep mosquitos from biting me. Hmm. Might be worth my using it again. I feel bloated and it is mosquito season again in CA.

"[/quote] Love that! Sometimes, when I don't really want to have "the conversation" about weight loss, I just tell people about how healthy I'm eating and how much better I feel and let them think the loss is by accident. They generally don't/can't have any negative comments or opinions about that one or what size they…

I guess I could move to Canada for better medical benefits. Lol. Right now, I have bargain basement medical coverage. I need a referral to see a chiropractor and my doctor just moved out of this subpar system. So my February 18 appointment has been moved to March 2nd - and instead of it being 2 miles away - it will be 15…

Keep up the good work. It's definitely a compliment.
-
@UncleMac , I am so sorry to hear what you have been through - physically. I never would have guessed that given a recent pic of you. UncleMac , your positivity despite prior circumstances is truly inspiring. I saw this thread when it first came up, but I was gearing up for some Part-Time work. Plus, I really could stay on…

NSV: My neighbor told me I inspire her and she joined a gym and got a personal trainer.

Lulu will you be putting up pics on your MFP board? I would get off my iPhone and onto my laptop for that !

Holy cow!

Go for it !
