fashionstylist 458 Posted November 3, 2013 Okay so I was in need of some retail therapy today. I was in a size 26 plus size in May 2013 . So I picked up a size 20 because I didn't see an 18. The only other size was a 16 and I was like should I? Well I did and it got perfect! I almost had a fit! So I will be in a size 14. Unbelievable!!! 12 Yadiordz, Sharpie, Watchershrink83 and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowalking 10,790 Posted November 3, 2013 After years of taking blood pressure meds, I am no longer on anything. My pressure was extremely low after the hip replacement surgery last month and while it did climb, it's totally normal now without any medical assistance. Will see what my pressure is when I go to the doctor next month but am hoping I am done having to take anything for my pressure. Oh, and my sugar/cholesterol is perfectly normal as well. medication. 9 DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!, readysetg070113, MandaMom23 and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim1967 3,569 Posted November 4, 2013 Jim you look AMAZING!!!! Btw, it looks like you need new pants to go with your new belt. They're too big for your newly svelte body! Awww...thank you. I am actually wearing 42's in this pic and they are baggy. I only have one other pair of jeans a size 40 and they were in the laundry. I am waiting a while before I buy more. These are barely two months old. Funny thing about the belt. That is my original belt that barely fit to be buckled when I started. It is such a great NSV seeing how it wraps around me. 5 MandaMom23, jfc193, Debbie3sons and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
