IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

Aug 19, 2009

 Okay, it's official!!!   As of 7:30 this morning, I am officially down ONE HUNDRED POUNDS!!  I'm thrilled to death, just tickled down to my very toes.  I never thought I'd lose this much weight.... and it's still coming off.  I have 37 more pounds to meet my surgeon's goal, and 57 if I want to meet my own goal.  But this is one heck of a good start!!

Love to everyone,
Erica

I just have to tell SOMEONE!!

Aug 05, 2009

About a month ago, I realized that all my 3X shirts were basically "falling off me".... so I ordered a whole new bunch of 1x shirts in pretty colors.  They should be able to last me a while, as I can tuck them in or belt them over my slacks.  One of the shirts is chocolate brown, and I didn't have a pair of pants that would go with it, but I really wanted to wear it.  So, off I took myself last week to WalMart to see what they had.  Since the last time I had a pair of women's pants on (see the "purple" pictures in my photo album) they were a size 24W, I figured that a 22W would be a good place to start.  So I got a couple of different styles of Khaki and chocolate brown slacks and tried them on..... waaaaaay too big.  Okay, so I take them back and get a size 20W.  Still way too big.  Hmmm.... a size 18W??  Well, they fit, but loosely, and I could tell I would shrink out of them in no time at all.  Shaking my head in disbelief, I went and found a couple of pairs of 16W and tried them on.  I couldn't believe it!!!  They fit.  A tiny bit snug, but with a little spandex or something in the material that made them hold their shape and move with me instead of cutting me in half.!!  I HAVEN'T WORN A SIZE 16 SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!  Now I understand that today's size 16 is like a size 20 when I was back in high school... but just the sound of it.... incredible and amazing.  I'm floating on air!
