Celebrate with me!
I am now in a pant size that I have not been in for over 17 years! My net weight loss was about 35 pounds. I had lost 55 pounds but was waaaaaaaaaayyy too thin. So I gained 20 back.

:woohoo:

4. I'm Celebrating! I've Lost 46# and Still Going!
I am going pant shopping this weekend sometime

I bought a shirt that was in the "normal" sized people's store!

I'm going to lose 46 more pounds to get down to where I want to be

Congratulations KW!

5. Even though I am "normal" sized now
Because of my height, I often have to shop specialty stores to get things to fit me. But today I bought two pair of jeans in a Kohl's department store...

:woohoo:

8. Yeah, I still prefer extra tall shirts
so they don't come untucked as easily as I'm 6 feet

but I walked into a kiosk stand at the mall last night and bought an Arkansas Razorback t-shirt to wear to the basketball game today and it fit wonderfully.

I can't remember the last time I've done that. 10 years probably!

:hug:

12. I am 6'3"
It can be VERY difficult for me to find clothes.

Long sleeve button down shirts are bought in menswear, simply because even tall women's blouses' sleeves are too short.

15. Good!
I like tall women!

I like medium women!

I like short women!

Geez, I'm a picky guy aren't I KW!

I'm glad you lost, gained, or whatever you need to do to be at your right weight and all.

Meh, I'm still losing and will until I shrivel up, well, at least until I get down to what I need to weigh!

6. You go!
Congrats on your weight loss/gain thingy.

:woohoo:

I've been told I should do the same, but it's a scary prospect.

7. Right with you...
In the size I haven't been in over 20 years. Thirty-seven pounds have vanished in the past 10 months.

Now I've got to get a nutrition program to retain without gaining.

10. Congratulations!
I love it! You had to gain back 20 pounds! Sheesh -- I should be so lucky.

Are you planning to watch the Bears-Packers game on TV tomorrow night? It's my BD -- what better way to spend it than watching my Bears play? It may be Favre's last game, too.

14. It has been football wall to wall here!
Of course I am watching the Bears game, only for me it will be tomorrow afternoon (Pacific timezone).

It will be nice to say goodbye to Brett Favre. He was a great QB, but I am entirely too sick of how the press fawns over him like he is the second coming of the flying spaghetti monster.

20. Yay!
:woohoo:

I dropped 40 lbs this year, almost 45, but I was too thin also. I put about 15 or 20 back on too.

I dropped from a 36 jean to a 33...

Fell better too.

:hi:

21. Good for you!
I went from a size 20 to a size 8. Now I am back up to a size 12. (size 8 is WAY too skinny for someone over 6 feet tall.)
