RE: Hey everyone - I'm a size 16

Just FABULOUS, !! I'm not to a 16 yet, but the Dr. used a REGULAR

blood pressure cuff on me today. It seems a great day for milestones. Keep

it up (or should I say) DOWN!

Hey everyone - I'm a size 16

I can't believe it --- I wrote a few weeks ago about being a size 18 (like a

month ago or something??) and how surprised and pleased I was... Now, I'm

into a LARGE in most pants/tops/sweaters and wear size 16 in most cases!

Holy Cow!

I've been having a great time shopping, getting nice clothes (for once) and

feeling MYSELF again after all these years!!!!!

I want to start working out with weights when I get back to NYC --- I'm

really motivated to get 'firmed up' (not to mention wanting to prevent

osteoperosis by lifting weights as recommended in the 30's).....

I definately want to go for a breast lift/reduction and perhaps a tummy tuck

-- I'm really not sure if I'll need it or not (I'll discuss it with the

surgeon in January at my 12 month checkup)... I still have a tummy but it

hasn't really gotten in the way of clothes fitting (yet).

I think I must have lost inches b/c I am down to 205 --- from 213 and the

sizes just keep dropping, man! LOL

All the best,
