LONG POT AHEAD! SORRY!!

Welcome back Lou you've been missed! Sorry about your marriage and I hope things will only look up for you from now on! You are so persistent and brave to hit the 100 lb mark, I've struggled for the last 9 months and barely just hit 20 lbs recently! Congratulations!

20lbs is still fantastic though because it is so hard to lose more than just a couple of lbs! You should be proud!

Lou, is that Ruffian Red on your lips? So pretty.

Lou.....you look soooo beautiful

RR is stunning on you!!!

LONG POT AHEAD! SORRY!!
Why thank you very much sweetie!
Aw you are too kind!
Well he actually left me which was pretty heartbreaking. But everything happens for a reason and I know that some day I will see why this has happened. You just have to pick yourself up and get on with it!
Hee hee! Thank you so much
Kate thank you so much. You words mean alot to me
Thanks sweetie! I've missed chatting with you!
Ooohh you know I wore them yesterday and today and actually got a fair few compliments! I'll try posting a pic here for you now but it will be bad quality from my phone! I was at work at the time but I thought why the hell not rock it?!




Oh trust me I was huge! I'm embarrassed to say I was a size 26 towards the end and am now between a 16 and 18 which is much better and healthier. Ideally i'd like to be a 12/14 though But i'm a pear shape so my thighs and bum will always be big! And yeah I just couldn't move past the things I told you about. So many hurtful things were said And I love my guys at work with all my heart. I've known Ben and Ben for 6 years now and can honestly say we think of each other as family now.
Wow! Congratulations!! That is amazing and you have done so well! You should be so proud of yourself because it really isn't easy! How much are you wanting to lose in total?
Thank you sweetie
Hey!! I have missed you!
Why thank you!
I know!! I am a sucker for leopard print!!

Lou, My goal is 125 total loss and I am at 82 lost as of this week. I am not really shooting for a size physically, I just want to be in the normal weight range for my height. I am 5'3 and to be skinny I have to be under 110 which is totally unrealistic for me. I am hoping to get to my goal by Spring. Your change is awesome and I am glad that you feel better about yourself and have the ability to do things that you didn't before! That is an awesome feeling.

Congratulations mousygiggles! 82 lbs is not shabby at all. I'm 5'3" also and I haven't been 110 lbs since I was in my teens. It's impossible for me as well. If I can lose 20 and try to way between 135-145 again I'll be happy. Heck, if I can see 150 again I'd be happy. Lol. It's hard when you sit behind a desk for 8 hours a day five days a week.

Thanks! I was under 100 until my Senior year in high school and I Was 130 then, I was 140 when my son was born when I was 21 then well in the 200's when my daughter was born when I was 22. Sheew, finally I am in onderland again and searching for the same 135-145 goal.

I can relate to the desk thing too! I have been tied to the computer for the last 2 years when I decided to go back to college with a new major.

Lou, I'm sorry to hear about the recent turn of events in your life, but I'm wishing you the best and am genuinely happy to see you back. Congrats on the weight loss! You've always been a beautiful girl, but oh my goodness you are smoking hot with the RR lips!

Sheesh...shorties in the house! I feel like a giant at 5'8". Funny all my in person friends are the same height but all of my online friends are in the 5'-5'5" range! We need to start posting in Piapreet's thread and start motivating each other.

Good for you! Congrats to you as well. 82 is quite the accomplishment. Wishing you luck on the rest of your journey!

I'm 5'3" as well and I was 110 pounds all through high school and some of college. Gained some weight due to the crazy thing known as life. Eventually, I was able to lose some weight and even got back down to 110 for a brief period of time, but it wasn't worth it for me. The journey back down to 110 was horrible. Counting every single calorie I ate and working out way too much made for a miserable time for me (and for my poor BF who had to deal with all the mood swings). Plus, I was trying to lose the weight for vanity reasons.

Now that I'm older, I've finally learned what my happy weight is and it's DEFINITELY nowhere near 110, haha. With that said, I could stand to lose some weight. I know where I need to be, I just need to be motivated.Hmm, maybe I should put myself on a shopping ban until I get off my lazy butt and do something about it! What else could motivate me? LOL. Just need to figure out how to balance everything in a healthy manner...I need to make moderation my BFF.

 

[mousygiggles]

The biggest thing I did was no soda, not even diet since Feb. Only water, milk, juice (rarely), and going to they gym 5 days a week for cardio. It is hard but worth it!

[hwdsprincess]

LMD84 lol aka Lou now I know you're called that you are BEAUTIFUL sorry to hear of your relationship status changing and it's def hard in the beginning but now instead worrying about you and someone else you can focus on you and what you like to do, lol and not get told stop buying all this makeup. Looking at ur picture I would of never known you were someone trying to shed extra pounds you're gorgeous. Beauty has no size no race no color, and I definetly see beauty in you! You're obviously such a pleasant person you were missed by ur fellow specktra family lol everywhere I went Lou was missed that's so sweet and hope it makes you feel better that if one person didn't enjoy being w you other people do!!! I haven't been on here that long but I def enjoy "talking" to other people who share the same obsession with me and make me not feel guilty about buying everything I want hahaha Xoxoxo, Jessica or as my friends call me Jess:encore:

I actually like my height. I'm originally from Estonia and I think there were a lot more tall people than here in England lol I feel like a right giant here..
I've always wanted a tall boyfriend, so I could war hills but my bf is only a little bit taller than me.. oh well

 

[shontay07108]

I'm 5'8, too. Thankfully, I shot up quick and then stopped growing. I'm perfectly happy with my height. Now, I'm working on dropping some lbs.
