sunshine413 343 Posted September 16, 2012 LOL! I was asked the same question. I chose 175 because I remember I weighed 181 in the 8th grade and wanted to be less than that. Right now I'm 5'7 and 394. Highest ever was 402...I about passed out . So 175 sounds like a dream! I also find myself looking at 'regular sized' clothes. It's exciting to think about! Congratulations on 8 lbs down!!! I sure would like to say I'm 8 down from my highest. I was 306 or 307 initial consult and 311 last Monday. I said to someone else, I'm addicted to the Women's Fashion on Pinterest!!

I want to wear a belt!!! Not an elastic back, about to bust off and kill somebody belt, but a cute, small, brown leather belt with khaki shorts and a white top!! I want to wear something and think it's delicate rather than wearing something with wide straps!! 4 cookier224, cooksie, FinerWoman and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jilllorraine 62 Posted September 16, 2012 Oooh good question!! I want to wear a belt!!! Not an elastic back, about to bust off and kill somebody belt, but a cute, small, brown leather belt with khaki shorts and a white top!! I want to wear something and think it's delicate rather than wearing something with wide straps!! Hahah!! I was thinking the same thing!! No elastic anything! I want to be comfortable and be able to SEE my belt. I'm to self conscious to tuck in my shirt anymore. I am 5'1 and want to be around 130. I remember being on weight watchers in 2000- I got down to 145 an was happy with that but why not give myself a few extra pounds for a goal! We went to the beach then and i actually wasnt embarrassed to wear a suit. I would love to wear a simple tshirt and cute jeans with a belt with no belly or huge muffin top. I know I need to exercise exercise exercise!! I can't wait just to feel better!! Can't stand that im out of breathe by walking up And down a few stairs. My list could go on and on and on... Im ready for the challenge!! 1 cooksie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NatalieO 19 Posted September 16, 2012 I want to be able to wear any top and not worry about it being long enough to cover my belly apron. And I want to be a size in which I can go to any store in the mall and find something to wear. That would simply be amazing!! 3 DrMomFlrs, CHOSEN72 and cooksie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
