Thanks, yup even had breakfast ooooh tummy hurts. Anyhow got the kids to try the wheat pancakes and they loved them. Of coarse they had the full on syrup and what don't that make taste better lol. I normally get hungry just and hour or so after breakfast but I think this is heavy enough that ill be full for awhile. I really wasn't expecting a loss, I was looking more for a stalemate lol. Its still a good feeling all the same....

Everyone is after me now to get some smaller pants. These aren't big they are just very roomy lol. My belt now goes past the third loop on my side. and my pants, when i cinch my belt all the way up it grabs my waste but the piece up front where the button is gets pinched way up in front past the belt. The guys at school says its time to get more shirts. these use to fit better now they are turning into a nightgown lol... well good feeling all the same.

getting one or two new things would be agood motivation... don't splurge on a whole new wardrobe.. but one or two new items to make you feel all pretty would be good

yea Im really getting tired of the 50.00 t-shirts........

5lb loss! That is wonderful! The weight seems to just be melting off of you.

Hey Lee,

I've missed you lately. Thanks for checkin up on me.


Congrats on the 5lb loss. You are soooo my inspiration! You're going to pass me if I don't get my arse in gear!

yea thanks all. the two 5 pound losses in a row is odd but im not going to argue with the numbers

hehe Good on ya.
Its weird how the weight loss fluctuates eh, I never loose weight the week of my period but i loose it on the off weeks. I never loose it when im at the gym durnig the week but i loose it on the weekend when i do nothing

a lb is a lb though!

Great job on the 5 pound loss!! You are really doing an awesome job!!

yea with eating the taco bell stuff on the boat I was really expecting bad news. Then at school there isn't much except the snack machines and the chips over candy is like 200-300 calories for the small bag of chips. About the only thing close by is subway and its ok just I would rather make a sandwich at home. Most of the other classes get lunch breaks but the electronics department every thing is rush rush. I guess there is a lot they have to cram in to your head in two years. I'm thinking about going back for IT/software development. The good thing is I wont have to take my academics again I'll get credit for all of those. It would be an associates as well so I'll see. I'm really looking forward to going ahead for overseas. The school is giving me alot of contacts and right now I'm looking at being a civilian contractor in the middle east. That or Europe someplace. I just have the traveling bug I suppose.

Hate to break it to you, the software development is no easier :O

ah i know. They just have a more relaxed schedule. It still must be hard though, Because in electronics one class builds on the next. But in that you no sooner learn one than they say scratch that this is unix, forget everything before.

As far as clothes, I waited until i was 2 sizes smaller, then bought one track pants and one jeans a size smaller. Meant i had to work still to fit into them and i was REALLY ready for them when i did fit them.
Between those 2 pants and baggy pants and shirts they will have to hold out until im smaller again before i buy again.
I have a sewing machine I was debating just taking a quick zip up the seams of some of my clothes as well. Problem being, that works for 1" but my old pants are at least 6" to big for me.

thats the problem im having now. these are really huge. Id buy a cheap set of sweat pants but this texas heat will make me wait just a little longer.

Check out www.freecycle.org... for your area... it's a yahoo mailing list so use an email address you don't care terribly if it gets junk mail... what thie list is - is people getting rid of stuff cluttering up their closets.. in my area, I see clothes given away all the time... (also exercise equipment.. generally - everything is free (it's supposed to be keeping it out of landfills) you just have to go get it...

It's worth a shot to see if anyone is posting clothes the want to get rid of in your area..
