Cool Stopping in...

Just thought I'd drop in and say hello and see how everyone is doing. Looking good

I'm over in the 'Countdown to 235' section now, but we're all still connected.

Recent news: I'm down to 248 pounds. That's a 12 pound loss so far. YEAH!! And, I've lost another 3" BWH. My clothes are looser and I feel great -- despite the 'bug' I just got over.

Keep up all the good work, and have a happy holiday. Take care and God bless.

SAMT,
Happy holidays to you, and congratulations!

Hey, just cuz you're in the Countdown section doesn't mean you can't post here, too I'm all over these boards - can't get enough of 'em.

Shalom
Sh'ra

Bushong,
That loose clothing feeling is the BEST feeling in the world! So much better than over-tight clothes that cut you off in the middle when you sit down. I avoided jeans for that reason for the longest time.

Sh'ra, I can only imagine! {sigh} I spend most of my time around the house in loose, flowing nightgowns now. Never thought I'd see that day. It's just so much more comfortable than a waistband and a bra strap cutting me through my middle. That is where my problem lies...my middle. When you look at me from the chest up, or from the legs down, or from the back, it's not as bad as looking at me head-on! That tummy is unbelievable! Can hardly wait to not sit down and have myself balloon out! I wonder if I will start feeling my clothes loosen within a month or so? I could really live with that!

Keep it going and fill up on the support on this forum and you'll be there B4 you know it! Take some measurements if you haven't already cause sometimes the mind just doesn't want to register....denial! Yes it does work, Yes it will work! Enjoy the transformation as I will always love myself...but I don't miss those pounds! Oh and yes the jeans are back on 3 sizes down...baggier and baggier...and we can still breathe even after eating...amazing!

Default Jeans...real jeans...what's that??

Hi. What I wouldn't give to walk into a store and by a normal pair of jeans...with an actual zipper and button/snap on the front. I haven't worn a pair like this in ages. Instead, I settle for the elastic waist...that gives when you buckle.

I'm definitely feeling a shift in the 'weigh' my clothes fit, especially my bra. Which is fine with me. I wouldn't mind loosing a few inches or so in that area at all. Of course, my husband might have something to say about that.

Have a super day!! God bless.
