WNM week 3 / SIA week 7 - Laura

Congrats on all those two's that indicate not TOO much
weightloss (G)

And maybe try that smaller suit, next time.

Laura said:

WNM week 3: Down 2.2 to 202.2 for 2 weeks since I never had
a WW WI last week. (the number 2 seems to be lucky today)

This makes a total of 43.4 since the end of april 2003.
My next mini goal is to hit 200. Should make that goal
within the next 2 weeks if I try really hard. (There's
that 2 again).

In the NSV department: We were shopping at JC Penney's last
night. I went to the women's section but got side-tracked
by the bathing suits. Last summer I wore a 22W. I took an
18 and a 22 into the dressing room because I thought I
would need a 20W but could not find any. But NOPE! the 18W
fits perfectly--not tight at all. I wish now that I'd taken
a 16W into the dressing room just to try that on for kicks.
Unfortuneately, the waiting time for the dressing room was
over 20 minutes so there was no way that I could get the
16W and keep DH waiting any longer. I am hoping that
sometime this summer I can fit into the 16. Oh, and the
suit was 50% off. $70 suit for $35. Can't beat that.

SIA week 7: 3 Curves sessions

Between the bladder infection (now gone) and too many hours
at the office catching up from being off last week, I only
made it to Curves 3 times this week. Hubby does not
understand (yet) my need to hit Curves on the way home and
gets upset if I show up too late so I tend to not stop if I
am running late. I really should get in the habit of
calling him before I leave and telling him I'll be late.

Thanks Fred.

What a great post Laura. So full of good news. I save a lot
of time shopping by bringing 4 sizes into the dressing room
with me: the size I think will fit, the size I'm currently
wearing (which is usually one or two sizes smaller than what
I think will fit) and the next two sizes smaller, just for
the heck of it even though I know they won't fit anyway.
Then I start by trying on the smallest size first, just to
prove that I'm only kidding myself thinking I could possibly
fit into that teeny-weeny whatever it is.

The funny thing is, I've surprised myself more than a few
times when that smallest item actually fit. As much as I
enjoy having new clothes, clothes shopping has become a real
chore. I know what you mean about not going back to find a
smaller size.

2 is your luck number . Here's hoping for a good couple of
weeks so you make your next goal. Keep up the good work. I
know what you mean about coming home late and hubby, I have
the same problem. I exercise in the early am to avoid this,
could you maybe go to curves before work? Maybe a compromise
between am and pm workouts. Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland

I like your plan of trying on sizes. I'll have to remember
that one next time. I still don't know what size I currently
wear. I'm stuck between the woman's 1X and the misses XL.
Somethings fit and others don't. If I'm in a hurry, I'll
grab the 1x because I know that I don't have to try it on. I
did take a chance yesterday and bought a pair of XL capris
at Kmart after WW and they are just a tad snug. Wearable but
snug. I like my stretch capris better but only wear these at
Curves or around the house. Wearing Capris is new to
me. I've got to get used to the idea that the pants are not
too short. <g>

Thanks Michelle. I wish I could change my workout time but
they only open up at 8am which is after I leave for work. If
they opened at 7am that might be doable. I just have to make
a better effort at not getting stuck at the office too
often. My daughter is joining Curves so I'll be calling home
each day I am going to stop on my way home so that DH can
bring her over if she wants to work out that day. This might
help eliminate the hassles at home.

WNM week 3: Down 2.2 to 202.2 for 2 weeks since I

lucky today)

This makes a total of 43.4 since the end of april 2003.
My next mini goal is to hit 200. Should make that goal
within the next 2 weeks if I try really hard. (There's
that 2 again).

In the NSV department: We were shopping at JC Penney's
last night. I went to the women's section but got side-
tracked by the bathing suits. Last summer I wore a 22W. I
took an 18 and a 22 into the dressing room because I
thought I would need a 20W but could not find any. But
NOPE! the 18W fits perfectly--not tight at all. I wish
now that I'd taken a 16W into the dressing room just to
try that on for kicks. Unfortuneately, the waiting time
for the dressing room was over 20 minutes so there was no
way that I could get the 16W and keep DH waiting any
longer. I am hoping that sometime this summer I can fit
into the 16. Oh, and the suit was 50% off. $70 suit for

Thanks Connie. I am going to try on the 16 the next time I
find bathing suits for sale. I'm dying to see if it fits.

Ya know, I can not wear the longer length capri's - the ones

I outgrew long ago. <g> I search out the *just below the

I like your plan of trying on sizes. I'll have to remember

hurry, I'll grab the 1x because I know that I don't have to
try it on. I did take a chance yesterday and bought a pair
of XL capris at Kmart after WW and they are just a tad
snug. Wearable but snug. I like my stretch capris better
but only wear these at Curves or around the house. Wearing
Capris is new to
me. I've got to get used to the idea that the pants are not

What a great post Laura. So full of good news. I save a
lot of time shopping by bringing 4 sizes into the
dressing room with me: the size I think will fit, the
size I'm currently wearing (which is usually one or two
sizes smaller than what I think will fit) and the next
two sizes smaller, just for the heck of it even though I
know they won't fit anyway. Then I start by trying on the
smallest size first, just to prove that I'm only kidding
myself thinking I could possibly fit into that teeny-
weeny whatever it is.

The funny thing is, I've surprised myself more than a few
times when that smallest item actually fit. As much as I
enjoy having new clothes, clothes shopping has become a
real chore. I know what you mean about not going back to
find a smaller size.

I'm totally with you on this. I'm only 5'2+ and the longer
capris just look stupid. I found some stretch ones at Kmart
that I can hike up a tad to just below the knee and they
look fine. I just wish I could find fancier ones at that
length. I'm going to compare lengths at kmart tomorrow after
WW (my weekly treat after WW especially if I have a loss) to
see if they have another brand that are the right length.

I don't know what size you wear, but Old Navy had a few
styles in the shorter length (knee length) capris. My
daughter did buy me a longer pair, I opted to roll them up a
bit - still longer than I like, but cute. I'm older than a
teenager, probably why the styles are harder for me to
accept. I'm still living in the dark ages. <g>

Other than that, all I can suggest is a sewing machine. I
have altered lengths, although I don't enjoy it. Seems a
shame to me to have to pay full price for something that I
am not happy with.
