you're pretty darned close...

I'd love to see the suggestions on how to get the calf size down... :) it's taken me 2 years to lose about 3 inches off each calf - and i'm still about 3 1/2 inches away from ideal :D

I'm the wrong girl to ask about how to slim down your calves...mine are way larger than ideal. Back when peg leg jeans were in, I couldn't wear a lot of them cuz they were just too tight on the calf.

On the bright side, the muscular calf does give way to a slender ankle. :)

I've seen some young women that have no ankles...thats' really unattractive under a heavy calf, so it could be worse.
 
Hey Judy,

I did that ideal measurement calculator too... We must have the same size wrists, lol or maybe the calculator is just for women... I dunno but it told me that my ideal waist measurement was 27.3''... I'm a 6'2'' guy and don't know if that is possible, LOL... I do have very slim wrists though, so that is why I figure I got that answer.... interesting...

I'm pretty big for a girl. I'm 6' tall and big boned. I have been asked a couple of times if I'm really a man. I figure it's insecure guys who are asking me that though....I'm a tall girl, but I'm not masculine.
 
the cankles are why I have this great hatred of capri pants.. and find it infuriating that that seems to be the prevailing style...
 
Well, with a goal weight of 155, I felt like I was pretty much there as my weight had been bouncing around between 155.4 and 157.8. But today, for the very first time, my weight was 155.0!!

Woo-hoo!

I'm getting used to the way my weight bounces around, so I'm not expecting to see the same number on the scale tomorrow...but that's okay,I saw it today and I'll see it again.

And to make life even better, we finally found a "new to me" used Del Sol to replace the one that BF totalled back in March. The only thing left to do is get an exhaust leak fixed and the car will be ready to roll. It's almost as cute as my old Del Sol...and a little bit shinier.
 
Great job maintaining in the 150's! I can't believe you're 6', that is so cool! I'm so damn short at just over 5'1" so I think height is very sexy on a woman. As long as she's confident and let's her feminine sex appeal slip out here and there.

I don't mind being tall when I'm slim. I'll even throw on a pair of heels! When I'm heavy I'm just not confident enough to wear heels unless I have to with a dress or something. Heavy and tall just feels BIG!

I like to think I have that feminine sex appeal. I think I must because I still get the occasional pass from much younger men at work. Of course, they're usually drunk. lol

drunk or not -- passes are always an ego boost :)

Maybe I just dress like a slut. :biggrinjester:

Truthfully, I've always enjoyed dressing sexy...but it's starting to feel a little inappropriate to wear booty shorts or mini skirts given my age.
 
I surprisingly hit a new low weight today. 154.2!! I certainly didn't expect it as I ate a quarter chicken, mashed potatoes and a plate full of veggies for dinner and then ate a whole bag of popcorn and 2 cups of grapes before going to bed. I was a bottomless pit last night. I figure the sheer volume of the food would make the scale go up. It will probably show up tomorrow but I wonder where it hides between the time you eat it and the time it shows up on the scale. :)

It's too freakin' hot to work out today so I'm glad that I have a car repair appointment this afternoon. Now I have a real reason (aside from heat) to not work out.

as soon as I hit my goal - or at least a single digit size -i have every intention of dressing completely inappropriately as a hoochie... for about a week -then I'll get over it - or until I get arrested - :D

And strut past every construction site you can find too!! LOL
 
After hitting a new low yesterday (153.8) today I'm at 157. I knew it would happen but it's always a little bit disappointing to see the weight go up.

It's way too hot here and the AC wasn't working at work. I learned quickly that my pink shirt shows sweat stains really badly. :(

Back down to 154.2 so at least the weight bounce is on both sides of my goal weight. I'm pretty happy overall with my body....except for my tummy below the waist. It's just poochy and always has been as long as I remember. I guess it's my trouble spot and will be the last place I lose weight...but I'm not sure I can get skinny enough to lose it w/o being unhealthy skinny. :(
 
It's odd....my legs used to be a lot beefier, even when skinny. As I've gotten older my legs seem to have gotten skinnier, regardless of my weight.

My stomach has pretty good muscle tone...it's just under a layer of fat from the belly button down. :( If I could afford liposuction I would seriously consider it for the tummy fat.

LOL..hilarious! Sometimes it helps to get a little affirmation. I like to dress sexyISH, but not too obvious like with high heels and stuff. But it seems nowadays every shirt is cleavage popping..they are just so low cut these days. But it sounds like you can still carry off a mini skirt with those legs!
 
Wow! I just read that your 6' tall. I think that is definitely
an advantage. When your tall you usually carry weight
pretty well. Being 6'2'' I'm the tallest in my family by
about 5'', so it's kind of weird. I feel like the mailman's
baby sometimes or something, LOL...

Congrats on hitting the new low weight :)
I'm going to hate when it's too hot to exercise outside here
but it's on it's way, believe me. We are going to
be in the 90's and 100's here pretty soon. Lately
it's been cloudy and rainy here, and then like 75 for a
couple days, then back to rain. Crazy Utah weather
but, I'm sure you remember ;)

Take Care,
Sam
