I have posted on this board before about how when I first started gaining weight and got into the 180's, I went online and bought 2 pairs of XXL men's sweatpants and wore them all winter long as I expanded. They were the only pants I could fit into anymore. You can see them in one of my studio pics of my thinner days with a black turtleneck. Well, this morning I tried on my ...

Actually happened on 12/31..but I'd rather start the new year off with a new NSV so..

They opened a Chico's Outlet in Gilroy. I don't know if you have a Chico's near you but they have some really, really nice stuff in those stores. I never even bothered going in there because, well, let's just say I wasn't Chico's "target" audience.. i.e. not their "type" er.. "size"...er.. I was too darn fat for them!!!! Plus ...

I had to drive about 40 minutes one way to play a wedding this evening, and when I'm in the car what do I think about? Which fast food places are on the way that I can load up at. Now, I did not have any cash, and I didn't directly go by a SINGLE place (which was cool), and I really wouldn't have blown it. But I'm mentally hungry tonight (I don't think it's ...

I made A big mistake- I did not do transition ---I ate real food and just started eating every thing in sight---Guess what I gained--I am so mad at my self--But its a new year I have a few pounds to lose and do it right next time---I need to learn to handle stress--I lost my best friend to Cancer in DEC.and Had to go to Denver for work -- and almost spent Christmas at ...

Hi - I'm including a poll with this one.

I bought a new scale yesterday. My old one was really fluctuating wildly - like 50 pounds wild - but eventually after much perserverance I got a weight of 258.2. I was expecting 265 so that was nice.

After buying the new scale, I got a weight of 266-264 throughout the day - pretty accurate I think because it was closer to what I was expecting. ...

Surgery scheduled for January 2nd. Doc seemed to be in a rush. Said ideally it would be nice if the infection was all gone by then, but no guarantee it will be. As he explained it to me the main trouble is that the operating rooms for non-emergency surgery are booked through February, meaning if I don't have it done on Tuesday, the next opening will be sometime in March. He doesn't want to wait ...

I CAN'T DO THIS!! What is wrong with me??? After 15lbs gone in 3 wks, I got very sick over Christmas and did not eat for 4 days. Then I took a day to make sure I was OK--so I was "off plan" for 5 days, lost 5 lbs, then gained 8 back in a matter of hours. So now I'm up 3 pounds.
I was 100% compliant for 2 full days and factor in ...

Hi - I posted all this in my journal but I had some questions and I wondered if anyone would be willing to offer an opinion?

I got a gift certificate for a nearby restaurant for Christmas and we used it tonight. I ordered a plain steak, salad with low-cal Italian, and sauteed vegetables.

The steak was listed as 12oz so I immediately cut it in half and saved that, and the salad, for tomorrow's ...

I got a HUGE Christmas present to myself this past week.

I am officially no longer a Lane Bryant Chick!! :yes:

I can wear 14/16 tops and 16/18 jeans from the Regular Side of a store now! I actually walked into Gap--tried on a few sizes and the ones above were the ones that fit..and they didnt have a W beside the number!!

And if THAT wasnt ...

Answer: My gallbladder :(

Wandered off my diet big time on Christmas, probably consumed more carbs and fat in one day than I had in the entire previous month....and had the mother of all gall bladder attacks later that evening.

Thought I was all better...until this afternoon when I was on a test drive with a customer and all of a sudden I felt like my upper ...
