NewSexyMe, I thought I was the only one who was paranoid about the hairdresser and those foot pumps! LOL! Oddly enough, I'm looking forward to shopping in thrift stores. People give away nice, expensive clothes--and I'm sick and tired of paying for what I consider to be high-priced, UGLY, plus-sized clothes just because they will cover up my body. I love the thrill of the hunt at thrift stores, and whenever I see something really nice, it's always in a tiny size (you know, can't be too rich or too thin). I won't ever be rich (teachers don't get rich!) but I'll be damned if I won't someday be thin--and I'll happily wear the rich lady's hand-me-down clothes. :tongue2:

What a great idea! Come to think of it, I never do shop in thrift stores because their selection of plus size clothing is usually even uglier than the stuff I have in my closet. One more thing to look forward to! Thanks! :tongue2:

Being able to fit my fat calves into a pair of knee high black boots with a skirt that goes just above my knees.

Going to amusement parks and not stressing out over whether or not i'll fit on the rides.

This is so me.... OMG... I can't wait to wear the boots.... And for the rides, I feel bad saying this but I went to a Fair a couple of weeks ago and wouldn't ride a ride unless I saw someone bigger than me ride it, cause I was affraid of getting up on the ride and not having the belt or the metal thing not fit......I thought well if they can fit on the ride then I should be able too....

I do have one NSV I would like to report. My mom and I were at Kohl's over the weekend looking at shoes (my favorite) but I've never bothered to try on stilhetto heels because my feet have always been too wide. I've lost some weight in my feet and they aren't are wide anymore.

I tried on a pair of candies and they fit perfectly. They looked good too. I didn't buy them because I didn't have the money but I may go back one payday and get them. But I was very excited to know I could fit into a pair of those shoes!

Rollercoasters... I can fit them now but I'm on my last click! And I also make sure that I see someone bigger than me on the ride before I try to get on.

I love to dance.. and I NEVER do. At parties or weddings or clubs.. I never dance because I feel like I look stupid next to my thinner friends.

And I can't wait to see my friends from high school after I meet my goal.. it's been like 2 years since I've seen many of them.. I'm sure they'll be shocked! :biggrin:

January 23, 2010 That will be my six month bandiversary and my work holiday party. I'm the coordinator, it's the one time that all eyes are on me and I want to be able to look good for once and not feel like I need to be hiding in the shadows... What do you think, should I wait to reveal any loss I've had until then??? Just wear baggy clothes for a while? I think that would be kind of fun? Has anyone else done something similar or want to do something similar??? Am I just being silly?? LOL

[Libbyjane1976 1]

Hmmm good question. Just be careful because you don't want your clothes to get too baggy. You might be walking down the hall one day and they may fall off ya!

I don't think you're gonna be able to wait that long. 6 months you will probably lose about 40 - 50 lbs maybe more depending upon your body.
