LOL - I've kept a pair of old tracky-dacks and t-shirt to remind me of what
I used to be. That's enough I think!

woooooohooooooooo, ya did it already, totally impressive. going for a 14
eh. i'm sure you can do it now that you know how.
now then... are none of those clothes 100% cotton?
good grief, is any of it quiltable?
might as well make something useful as a reminder of the old days. use it

as
a picnic rug or something, lol.
keep it up and you'll have extra room on the return flight home for extra
stash in 2004, lol.

I'm an 18-20 too - down from a 'fat' 20, but not quite a 22. I shall
have great delight sending my fat clothes to the charity shops, but so
far, while formerly neat fit T's are now loose, I can still wear all my
clothes! Bras, however, are starting to be a problem! All my 36F and
done up on the loosest hooks are now done up on the tightest hooks, and
I could take a tuck in the cups! I'm heading for a 34EE!

Sorry - use what you would have given me on postage to buy some goodies!
And a very good beg at that!

Funny how others can see how much I've misplaced yet I am hard pressed to
see it. Hmmm maybe I need a new mirror?

Have to being the key word - my health wasn't doing so good - but now I feel
better than ever. Even managed to run around at the park with the kids
yesterday. And with Meaghan (Baby Giraffe)! Man does she have a fun-crazy
mother!!

Absolutely! Just my idea. DH was kind enough to say that when I get to my
"chosen" size he'll take me shopping for new clothes (and he doesn't go
shopping easily!)

I am impressed, losing that weight is not easy.
And by all means, get rid of the big clothes.
Keep nothing that is baggy, no fat clothes to fall back on.

Sharon, congratulations. Most of us are green with envy but unwilling to
give up our chocolates! I know how hard it is to lose weight and you are to
be commended! Have you a plan on keeping it off? that's where my biggest
failure has been.
