Woohoo!

After a few weeks of see-sawing back and forth I'm finally seeing small losses. Any loss is fine. If it takes me ten years to lose all this weight, I'll be a little upset but mostly happy.

I am especially looking forward to the next couple of days. Tomorrow is the day I measure myself (every two weeks) and since my pants have been falling off I'm expecting a good loss in my waist at least. Sunday is my last August weigh-in for the "100 " group here on EP, and then I have to do a weigh-in for the same group the next day because of the CHALLENGE. I love points systems (you should see all the gift certificates I get from point based survey sites) so this challenge will give me a measurable way to...well.... challenge myself, lol.

On a work related note, I actually got in trouble earlier this week because my clothes were to baggy! Mind you, these were the same work clothes that had been snug on me at the beginning of July. The pants were bunched up at the waist really weird because of how tight the belt was cinched to keep them up. I can pinch at least 2 inches (so 4 total) so I may actually be two sizes smaller (a size I haven't been in in two years!). My shirt (a men's 2XL) I can now pinch 4 inches for a total of 8 inches (minus a few for breathing room).

The bad part is that I found out that Old Navy stopped carrying those particular pants, and I REALLY liked them. Its hard to find pants that fit me well, especially over the internet. I may go to Lane Bryant this weekend and treat myself to a new pair of pants... at this rate, I might even be back in size 20's! (Been at least 4 years).

Also, starting to see some muscle development in my biceps! Woohoo! When I have reached the end of my weight loss cycle, I really want to focus on gaining some muscle (like female boxer or Xena-like, not massive bodybuilder). Though I am considering training for strong man competitions.

Anyway, I am really excited to be on here with such inspirational people. Seriously, you all rock!
