Trying Again....and again...

[Janet]

In elastic waste jeans I was wearing 3X and now I have plenty of room in 2X. Same with shirts, glad I didn't throw any out or I would have to go naked and that would not be pretty at all..

It's so hard to wait, when I want to actually see a difference.

I still wear some of my bigger clothes.....expecially my every day things. I bought some clothes last year at garage sales and I will say that they have come in really handy!! I've bought a few things to wear to church that are new. Having to buy new clothes is the hard part of losing weight because I have some things I really like!! Oh well.....it's still nice to fit in the smaller things!!!

Good for both of you! That's where it really shows..when you go down in clothing sizes!

Diana, when I lost 35 pounds years ago, I took my most favorite clothes and had them altered to fit. The tailor thought I was crazy! She kept saying, "Why don't you just buy new ones" Because I loved those ones!!!

Thanks Judy. It can be really difficult at times, but I must say I'm not doing without anything I like and I'm never hungry. I'm just using that application and entering my calories. I knew I would fail AGAIN if I couldn't have things I enjoyed eating. So far so good.

Now with it being warm out again I can get out and get some exercise just by doing my yard work. I'm waiting till May to plant flowers. Just not taking the chance of a real hard freeze. Being outside instead of sitting on my 'you know what' will help out immensley!

Judy, that's a great idea!! At first I thought that my daughter, Amy, could wear them but she wears a different style than I do.....but now we're about the same size.

Weighed this morning and now at 245...yea!!! I'm happy. It's coming off slower now than it did for the first couple weeks, but at least it's still coming off. I think getting out and working in the yard is helping too. I love being outside, this year it just seems better.

I have not lost anything yet. I'm walking on my treadmill every evening right after work, at least 2 miles in 30-35 minutes. I work up a sweat and feel good about myself but it's not showing on the scale!
