Thanks Mickey! You are moving right along your own self! You are so close to goal and when you mentioned your bra size I was wistful. Ahhhh, I remember 34. I am in 36 now so I am down from a high of 38 but I sure wish the girls would shrink faster. It makes such a difference when shopping for tops.

I am wearing a 38DDD now but am really a 36F. I lost 12 inches in my bust on MF and was really hoping for a bit more...but we just can't determine where we lose it! The 14 inches in my hips I am very happy about but that still needs to go down! Patience!!!

Hey Linda
Sorry about the weather changing your weekend plans.

You are moving along girl. I want to say dont wish too hard for the 'girls' to shrink. Mine are teeny now, at least to me. My secretary/data clerk suggested I go to Victoria Secrets for some upage, liftage, what ever.
They disappeared over night and IM ok with that ,not the sag part tho.

try and do something fun for you this weekend, ok??

I was just posting about that in my journal! My sister actually made it and sent it to me and I was making my apologies to Joleen for the headgear!

I'm down a little more today which gives me a total loss of 2.4 for the week. I'll take it! I am getting close to the weight I was at my daughter's wedding 4 years ago. Actually, if I go by my old scales, (no, I never threw them away, I am a sick woman) I am already there - 172. BUT I am not "officially" using those scales anymore because my new one is more reliable.

I hope everyone has a great weigh-in today and a great losing week to come!

Good for you! Don't cha hate bad scales?!? I had one I could get on and off and on and off and on and off and never get the same weight! Yikes! I threw it away though - lol - and bought a new one. My old one only did solid numbers too - - I like the new one as I think seeing -.02 is important for my mental health :-)

Have a good day!

[Hopebaby]

Kym - we must have had the same old one and same new one!!!! That's why I had to get a new one too, because the old one was in 1 pound increments and it bounced all over the place and I couldn't trust the numbers. I could also get different weight depending on how I stood on it. My new one does .2 pound increments and is very stable.

Hol - I am cracking up about your secretary!!! After I get mine shrunk some I'll be gol'danged if I will buy a padded bra with uppage!!! I will probably have to buy one with uplift sure but not to make them bigger!

My oldest daughter lost a lot of weight a few years ago and hers got pretty saggy. She grumbles because mom's are more perky than hers! LOL so she is always telling me be careful what you wish for when I complain about my buxomness.

Gosh Biki - it can sometimes be hard to find 36DD and I can't imagine trying to find 36F off the rack. Do you have to order? (I guess that was kind of persona, sorry.) I remember when I was 32C and that was really hard to find but now it is a common size. I can find my favorite style and size here in town if I want to pay full price. For discounted price I have to order online or drive an hour and hope the outlet store has my size in stock.

You do have to order. figleaves has always been the site I used. I used to wear a 48H or I and figleaves was the only place I would find a variety in those sizes. My 38DDD fits me very well right now but I have it at the tighest band fit and as Mickey pointed out it will start to get bigger. It was just nice to walk in and get a bra in the lingerie department like a normal person and I really needed a new bra.

Yeah Biki - that's what I look forward to!

Honestly, I wouldn't mind mine shrinking if they shrinked back into place . Is that too much to ask? I'm cursed with 38 longs shoved into a C cup . Honestly, my daughter is 7 and I'm still trying to figure out how during the process of her birth I somehow lost a bra cup and gained a shoe size?!?! How'd they get down there??? Now its like the rest of 'em are trying to droop down to visit a long lost pal! <sigh>

[rodeomom]

Hey there hi there ho there Hope! You are doing great with your weight loss and I just wanted to tell you that you are an inspriation to me. Thank you for being you and showing us newer folks that real people can find success on this program.

I also posted this in the Weight Loss folder because I don't get much traffic here and I wold really like to hear any advice available on this.

I think I am having gallbladder problems. Since Saturday I have been having horrible painful attacks during the night and early mornings. At first I thought it was something I ate for my L&G then I thought it was a stomach bug but it has gone on too long and it is too painful.

Yesterday a lightbulb went off and I remembered reading that people losing weight quickly sometimes have gallbladder issues so I researched it online. I was shocked to see a list of possible contributing factors and I had nearly all of them. I also had the symptoms described. I don't have time for this! And I don't want to quit MF and stop losing.

Has anyone else had gallstones? Anyone over 50? I am assuming I will need a gastroenterologist so I think I will try to skip my primary care physician to save some time.

I am also having a toothache that is worrying me. I thought it was sinuses and have been taking sinus meds which have helped but now there is a lump developing on my gum which means it is probably an abscess. Dang! I went through that once before and it was horrible. I just want to crawl back into bed this morning but since the abdominal pain attacks interrupt my sleep that isn't much comfort right now.
