Topic: Happy Dance - shopping therapy
So it was time to get some new threads..last time I went shopping I didn't even know where to start because it had been so long since I'd had many options.

So Saturday, I brave the department store... I grabbed some things to try on...being brave and grabbing some thing to try on.  Larges and size 14's!!  They fit!  I have not been a size 14 since high school!  I even bought some new sandle heels to were just as soon as Texas heats up a bit.  It is wonderful to know that I can walk into almost any store now and find clothes to wear.

I was getting read for church yesterday and realized I have not hose and no slips that fit!  It has been a long time since I've shown any leg I guess!  Good problem to have for a change that things are too big!

Topic: RE: Constipation, TMI?
I hear you! I've started making sure I start off each morning with either a cup of coffee or a good English tea (strong). I am happy to report, the coffee worked this morning! Alleluia!!!

I never thought I'd be so happy to be "regular". But Oh, the joy! It makes my day so much better. ha, ha!

Topic: RE: to kick up the weight loss
I only lost 5 lbs in December, so I had to try something.  I'm doing two shakes and a bar a day.  As I've been able to eat more, I've been getting less protein I think.  I'm going back to more of the shakes and bars and less food.  Maybe not the best idea nutritionally, but right now it's all about the weight loss.  When I get all the weight off I can figure out what to eat to maintain.

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.

I put vanilla protein powder in just about any flavor of crystal light.  Cherry, fruit punch, strawberrry, orange sunrise.  They all taste pretty good.  I wouldn't recommend lemonade.  not good.  It's more of a drink than a shake.

Topic: RE: WL = AGE
hmmm.  I wouldn't say I look 100+, but I am sort of amazed by the stretch marks.  I guess they were filled with fat before and not as noticible?

It's definitely a problem for me but supplements help.  My morning coffee seems to help as well.

Thanks, I'll pick some up from the store next time I go out. I need some kind of help. I expected this to be a more common problem, but it looks like it's not from the response i got here.

Topic: WL = AGE
I was thinking........

I've been looking at my nakedness in the mirror lately and am starting to think the age my body looks with all of it's sagging skin is equal to my weightloss.......LOL

For example:

79 LBS lost
79 year old looking body!!

I add Miralax to my drinks.  The All Bran drink mixes work well too.  The pink lemonade flavor is my favorite.
