The fun has returned to clothes shopping

[elisebutt]

It is just so d*mn great to be able to go into every store and try whatever I like on.

I got some clothes today I ordered from my catalogue for winter in a size 12. I ordered them last week - when I was wearing 14 in everything. And guess what??

Everything fits!!!! New bras - 38D instead of 40Fs, teeny weeny thongs instead of big pants(as Zach calls them) Lovely little button thro blouses - that don't pull at the buttonholes, and a lovely long denim skirt that just sits on my hips.

I actually haven't budged from 172 for nearly a fortnight now, but I've upped the exercise from twice a week to ½ hour every night so I think that the toning is finally paying off. I really don't care so much about the loss so much as the finished result. No point in losing the weight and getting to target if it's all going to be loose and flabby??

Can't believe I was on such a downer last week - hormones eh??

That is awesome, Elise! I agree, no sense getting to your goal weight if you are going to be flabby. You have done SO WELL losing your weight and shrinking down to a size 12. Working out might not result in a huge loss on the scale but your body will continue to shrink up and you'll be much more firm.

CONGRATS on all the great new clothes! Sounds like you have a super wardrobe!!!!!! Hope we get to see some new additions to your photo album, especially that skirt, it sounds awesome!

Good for you, Elise!

What a great feeling! You're doing a super job, and it's paying off! Woo hoo!

I agree as well; what's the point of reaching your goal weight if everything's all loose and jiggly? You deserve a big pat on the back for sticking to your plan so well. Way to go!

Way to go, what a wonderful thing to be able to get excited about. I know that I have never really been someone that loved to shop, but I have to admit that I am learning to enjoy looking and trying on all these cute clothes now. Keep up the great exercising because I know it will pay off for you. Congratulations on ordering through the mail and having everything to fit. I hope I am that lucky as I am ordering some bathing suits today. Congratulations and have a wonderful weekend!

Pictures!!!! It's time for new pictures, Elise!

It's so exciting to hear how much fun you're having now, cutie. I know you look smashing in your new wardrobe!

And I'm sure Zach is really proud of his healthy (and sassy) new Mum.
