Weighed in yesterday. The weight is coming off slower now. I will will still take the one pound a week because it is so much better than a gain. I just need to step it up. I am going to exercise more and make more of my calories low fat meats and vegetables.

I am getting a lot of compliments as to how I look. I am on the last notch of my 2nd belt so I can move down to the smallest belt I bought. Bob was smart when he recommended that I buy the belts to overlap by a notch. I started out in pants that were size 26W or 24W and now the Gap jeans that I bought at Christmas, size 20 no W, are baggy. A couple more pounds and I should be able to get into the size 18 (no W) that I bought then too. They fight now, just tighter than I want to wear.

I did buy a pair of Capri pants that were size 16W. That W makes a world of difference. However, I don't want to have to wear that W any more. I have bought all new tops. Regular sizes large and X-large. No women's sizes there either. That was a success story in itself. It's been years since I was able to have more clothes fit that I took into the dressing room than didn't fit. Luckily it was all at Bealls Clearance and everything was 70% off. That is definitely worth a return trip on my road to a smaller me.
