I'm considered tall around my family I'm 5'6 and every single woman in my immediate family (who I spend the most time with) is shorter than me! It's only when I'm out in the world I don't feel so tall. lol My aunt is like 4'11/5', My mom is 5'4 and one of my cousins is 5'2. I'm happy with my height because it helps me carry my weight better! (Or so I thought!)


Good luck to all you ladies losing weight. I am on the track to lose some weight. I don't know what I want the final number to be but so far this summer I have lost 16lbs. I use to be one of those people that I was convinced I carried my weight really well until I saw my graduation pictures. I knew it was time then and what keeps me so on track this time is I don't feel like I'm restricting myself, that helps a bunch! Good luck ladies!

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!!
Ohmigosh I'm so sorry. I feel like such a turd I'm so sorry to hear that. If he can't see how amazing you are he doesn't deserve you. You seem to have the right attitude about it all. ;) good for you. You look amazing!

I was at my local Mac counter today to check out one of the latest collections which didn't intice me enough to purchase any of them and one of the artists there informed me that they will begin taking pre-orders for the Glamour Daze collection the first week of October. She said that I can actually do a pre-order the same day I go to pick up my Marilyn Monroe items (which will be released in store on October 4th). Yay!!!!

Me too!

Lou, I am late to the party but you do look fabulous and the red lipstick looks gorgeous on you.

I hope that you are proud of your weight loss and getting healthy. It really is hard and takes a big commitment. Specktra hasn't been the same without you and it is good to see your posts again.

I'm 5'8" and I'd love to be two inches taller.

Lou, you DO look amazing!!
I was overweight as a kid, didn't lose weight until my 20's. Right now, I could stand to lose 20lbs, but you know? I look pretty damn good, 20lbs or no 20lbs. and it took me a long time to think that way. Plus, I'm an athlete and in great shape as far as running and playing football. (American football)

As far as your husband goes, I have been in the same boat. It takes time, but time is really the solution. It gets easier as time goes on. You should embrace the pain you feel right now. I think that pain will help you change and grow and better your life. Good luck!

I wanna share too! I'm 5'4 and hubs is 6'2. I used to have a thing for dating guys 6'5" and above... Rawr! Lol Of course, I'm the shortest one in the family, but my mom is shrinking so maybe she will be shorter than me soon. My lil bro who is 9 years younger than me is 6'3" and still growing. He has been taller than me since he was basically born ;)
