The Issue is Clothes!
I'm having major problems with clothes these days! As in NOTHING fits anymore! My shirts are all just hanging on me and luckily I'm just wearing little stretchy shorts all summer -- because all of the capri's I bought before vacation last year are HUMONGOUS on me now! Argh! Not that I mind that my clothes are too big... but I don't really want to put a lot of money into "new stuff" midway through my weight loss - ya know? So today I just went to Walmart and bought a pair of bluejean capri's - size 16W! (they're stretchy though!) My size 22 jeans that I bought 6 weeks ago aren't too baggy yet so I can still wear them too, so I'm probably "really" a 20 on the bottoms. And I bought 3 new plain ol' t-tops -- all size 18-20. This is pretty amazing. I started out in 3x's - which is what? 26-28? 30-32? I'm not really sure -- I have both hanging in my closet! But these 18-20's fit quite nicely!
Oh! And I bought 2 new bras! Down 2 or 3 sizes on them too! Not sure for sure, cuz I had taken the tag out of the last ones... but I'm in single letters again and I haven't been there for a LONG LONG time!!! YAY!

Congratulations!!! What a great feeling that must be! I am the same size as you were when you first began to lose. It is very hard work and determination...good for you! Keep plugging!
I'm just getting up the desire to join Weight Watchers again. I've been a lifer...which means I've been going to weight watchers all my life, even though I've never been a lifetime member :)

No secrets Kaliblue... just eating less calories and LOTS of exercise! I will say this though... the exercise USED to be really hard work ... but it's not at all anymore! I look forward to Curves every single day! And the pedaling... eh... it's not something I love... it's just something I know I have to do and so I do. I set little challenges for myself though, and that helps. Nobody else even knows about them ... but I know if I meet them or not. I'm pretty hard-headed... I haven't missed one yet!

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! I wish that we lived closer because I think that you and I are just a little apart in size and maybe we could help each other with clothes. I am having the exact same problems that you ar having. I started at size 20 and am now down to size 16 W or I can also wear a size 16 petite. I don't know how tall you are but they seem to fit me a little better.
I was noticing that my clothes were getting so baggy that my weight loss was not showing because of my clothes. I too hate purchase clothes too but you know we have to wear something!! I keep a going pile here to give away it seems!!
You look really really good!! Curves is wonderful!! I have been going now for about 1 1/2 years and have lost 26 lbs. and 31 inches!! I go 3 times a week and never never miss!!
You keep going and both of us are going to LOOK GOOD and just think how good we are GOING TO FEEL!!!! YES!!!

Wow, congrats on having such a wonderful problem! It is amazing how exercise becomes more tolerable the more regularly you do it...at least it's that way for me too!

You look GREAT!!!! All that work is paiding off, and I saw you said earlier, that you look forward to the exercise now! Yay! And don't spend too much on this size, cuz I know you'll be out of it and into smaller stuff soon! :)

You look great!! Keep up the good work. If you stopped right now, you have no worries, you look fabolous. If you want to be one pound lighter than Oprah - then go for it!!
Ok, don't mess it up for all of us women. Buy clothes if you lose 5 lbs, buy them if you gain 2 lbs. Buy if it rains, it's a holiday, the weather's nice, going out to dinner, etc.
Just know, there are many more reasons to buy shoes.
