Hey Cinerelly!!
How are you doing hun... I have been wanting to stop by in your diary ...
Thanks for stopping in!! I am happy and smiling myself over my success, but I need to keep trecking now, more than ever and I have been slowing down on the walking and I am used to all three routes .. I have one other route that might bring my heart up ..than I really have to start walking distances ..which is hard because they dont have sidewalks on those roads ..only piles of snow on those ..and I might have to walk in the middle of the road? any suggestions .. I am at a loss for words .. I never thought walking would become so damn easy lol and I walk normal now ..which is amazing lol ...so I dunno what to do ..

well ttylater hun

Congratulations on your progress! It's so awesome to go and buy clothes in Smaller Sizes. Dont you think?

Thanks Veronica!! It def is very nice to go buy clothes and find your in such a smaller size .. I was just swimming in my old size ..the shirt I wanted the didnt have in my new size so I found a different shirt that was similar ... in a year I will be shopping in the otherside of fashion bug ..or between both ..because I will be a 14/16

I used to be a 2x mens bike shirt, but am now a xl bike shirt .. I might even be in a large bike shirt, but havent checked yet ..but ten pounds ago I was in an xl bike shirt ..so dunno ..we will see when I go shopping for a bike shirt in April

Thanks for stopping in hun

1. Congrats on walking despite the high winds, takes some determination to fight nature while your workout ( which is why i hide indoors)

2. Hurrah for smaller clothes, not only are ya feeling better but there's more variety and things that flatter you the smaller you get in sizes.

see ya round woman ^-^

Thanks Ladyumbra!! I actually enjoyed the high winds .. except for the fact they kept blowing my hair all in front of my face and I couldnt see through my long bangs ..the hair is growing ..the avi pic is from when I first got the cut .. I am trying to grow out my hair .. It will probably be up all summer long ..usually is ..its sad lol ..never down ..always up ..but at least I wont have the hair on my neck .. I miss my long hair .. lol its tuff with out the length to play with ... I cant wait till it grows back and I can have it layered ..

So ladies ...
and if there are any gentlemen out there no writing ..hello or even ladies just reading my journal ..hello!

I have officially gotten excited lol with clothes on I weigh 277.8, which means I am lower than 277.6, my weigh in with my very thin pjs on ..so I weigh less ..will report tomorrow and weigh myself in the morning with my pjs on ...and I have the scale in the same spot ..weigh in at nine am ... before most eating during the day ..its all good! but in my bday challenge and the march challenge I am just going to enter what I weigh with clothes on ..next week I will update the ticker ...

so anyway ..all is good on the front ..
the man that is my bf has said he is looking to get married soon and he is so sweet .. I dont want to rush ..but I think he may be the one ..he treats me so nice .. I cant believe this man ..he tells me I am beautiful all the time ..that I am smart, funny, beautiful and that he likes me the way I am and enjoys my convos ..we are getting together next friday ..going bowling and doing the movie thing .. I will report to all of you about how it all goes .. We think we are going to have a lot of fun ..and he is so interested ..he has such a quirky personality and so do I ..all is good on the love front ..

so I am doing well ..feeling good ..
and tomorrow I start my new walking route ..because I am too used to the old ones ..too bad .. I really enjoyed the newest one ..but that one I am used too ...too ... I walk really fast and my legs dont hurt a bit .. I am getting a loss for words ..but the walk I want to go on involves a huge hills a few hills but a couple mammoth ones ... so we will see ..if I lose my breath .. I think I will ((crosses fingers))

I shop in Fashion Bug too! I can get my tops from anyother place I want to, but Fashion Bugs the only place I go to buy myself jeans. My only problem is that I've found that if you want a bigger size in shirts, they automatically assume you have bigger boobies so the tops dont fit me quite right over there or at any other plus size store.

Glad to hear that your love life is going good!

Hope you find new walking routes that you will enjoy just as much as the one's you currently do!

Keep up the awesome work!

Later

Can you believe it! Ladies I am hot again!! lol I am so damn hot and it feels so damn good ..my bf is a little weary because I told him.. I couldnt help it ..lol I had to tell someone how excited I was .. I was like "please understand, this hasnt happened to me for five good long years..." "and he was like do you know how this makes me feel?" "like you have an attractive woman and she is all yours.." lol he was upset ... he couldnt get online .. maybe he is upset about what I told him ..but it felt damn good ... to get whistled at and cat calls ..does a body and self esteem good .. u know .. and I am not going to play it off ...

Hello girls!
Well my bf and I are all good now. I apologized for the info I should not have said. I probably made him jealous... oh well lol I was just so damn excited and than Kegan was like "oh boy men who only think with their... well fill in the blanks girls" lol ... but anyway .. I dont care! I am happy I got accollades today ..kudos for me, but now I have to becareful ..because it was the guys down the street and they are a troublesome group of peeps, so actually maybe it wasnt so great ..but man has my self esteem gone up ..well it got a little knocked down by Kegan and Peter, but its all good ... Kegan finally told me he didnt understand, because he had never been overweight ..and he hoped I felt better, when I was terribly blue ..so I was talking with him ..he is so talented ..he did some photography and he writes poetry, songs, ect ..but he is going into social work ..smart boy I say ...

so I think he makes a wonderful friend. So now I have Alex and Kegan as friends and my over sensitive bf ..lol ...

well ttylater everyone
love yas all

Hey Cinderelly!
So happy to see you in my journal

I guess it all depends on the person ..if they are real creeps ..it does creep me out ..when they are pretty much harmless .. it doesnt bother me and if I get cat calls and whistles .. I do always enjoy them .. I always loved them when I was in my early twenties and man did I get a lot ..and I miss that feeling of knowing ... I look good and peeps are noticing ..especially again

and I meet Peter next week ... on Friday ..we will have been talking for three weeks and we have decided to declare each other bf and gf .. its pretty much set in stone ..he says he loves the way I look, absolutely adores my personality and I love his ... not falling for him so easily ..been burned too many times ..but I am going to take my time ..and I am not saying I love you first if this works out .. he can say it first ..not going to be fawning over him either ..even though it would be so easy to do ..want to be independent .. I love being independent ..but he def affects my moods and his hypersensitivity did affect me today, at least I know I have to becareful about him ..he says he has burned by all five women he has been with ... they have cheated on him ..among other things.. I am not like that .. I appreciate the man I am with and I am loyal and caring ... and I am glad he appreciates my inner qualities and my body as well ..

he is the real deal I think .. I just have this deep down feeling about him, which I have never had before and he says he has a feeling about me ..so that must be good ..so we are just going to go for it, but take it easy too ..

Hey there girl!!!

I am SO HAPPY to be reading your journal. Reading about your excitement in losing weight and your excitement about Peter just makes my day!!

Let me tell you I can completely understand your excitement about getting the cat calls. I can understand people who get upset about it as well, I suppose, but really it can be an ego booster (in my opinion) to know that someone else thinks you look good! And tell Peter that you also want to be honest with him, and that you telling him that you were just being honest about something that happened that affected you. It's probably tough on him since you haven't met yet, and he might be a little nervous that you might ditch him before you meet.

I love your positivity! You and your sexy self kick butt!!!

Hi NJ
I looooove getting glances from male admirers! It just makes me feel very, very good. Mind you, I would not share that with my husband! And I know lots of gals don't need such attention...good for them! As for me, I just smile and feel great inside and keep right on walkin'.

Glad you are feeling happy these days - congratulations on your weight loss! Do be careful when you meet your fella. I hope all goes well for you, my friend.

Cheers
ABBA

I have to say, I don't like catcalls. I had an experience yesterday that kind of typifies why--I had a man in a car come up to me while I was waiting for a shuttle and ask me for a bj. Now, I suppose I could have taken THAT as a compliment, but I didn't.

I don't mind when a guy takes the time to come up to me and give me a real compliment in civil tones--I was once lit up for a day because a guy passing in the street said, "Mama, you got some big, beautiful legs." But that was because he then immediately went away, and it was more of a compliment than sexual attention, which I definitely don't want from strangers.

BUT, to each her own, and whatever feels good is worth celebrating!
