Ladies, The main thing I've learned on this journey is that one bad day (or week) (or vacation) doesn't ruin the entire process..... We put on, then go back to "normal - whatever that is", and the weight comes back off..... Keep on keepin on..... And dance, smile, and don't listen to the haters, or those who are jealous of…

Hi Janet... Plan 1 - gather up the too big clothes and take them to local charity... not good enough for consignment, but so not flattering on the size 14..... making room.... plus the charity benefits too... my son's PTA is having a clothing drive and making money per pound... so, the bigger the closthes the more money…

Janet, I've tried the alteration route... but for pants not really successful - they can't seem to get the "rise" correct.... that's all I'm saying...:laugh: But for sweaters, they haven't been too bad.....and button fronts don't really have success either.... I still look both in consignment and sale racks... clearance is…

Kathy, Take the time you need (and don't feel bad) - the Mad Hatters will be here for you. You have been to hell and back - stay strong.:flowerforyou: Hugs and prayers...and positive vibes coming your way.:smile: Carol

Isn't that the best feeling ever??? I've gone from a size 18 w pants.. (220 lbs)... yikes! down to a size 14 / 16...(at 180) You are a beautiful bride!

I lost a leg.... now how do I run? Working on losing the AC unit / maybe an elephant's.....

Tammy, Prayers coming you're way.... relax if you can..... Carol

I did a quick peek at your pics - and a BMI of 20 is perfect - try to stay healthy - losing any more just seems dangerous...

We had fluries in Jersey this morning.... Followed by brisk winds and in the 30s... Rain is coming this weekend... :grumble: Carol Spring - where are you and when are you coming back to Jersey? You teased us over the last couple of days....:ohwell:

Ladies, Look up Joel Osteen - he has a book called "I am"..... If we say I am fat, lazy, etc.. that is what we become.... I just need to start saying I am on time... and follow through... time management has never been my strength... Carol
