Anyway - I went to the doctor last week. I waited an hour and a half in a flu packed waiting room and then another 15 minutes in the actual examination room - but hey, I actually took my iphone in this time so I wasn't too bored. When I finally say the Dr., he said I was doing really good. (I dropped 8 pounds between visits - which, for my 4th month on the pills, was not too shabby). That put me at 176 when I weighed in and at a loss of 32lbs. Since my Dr. visit, I'm down to 174. Hopefully, I'll be at 166 before my return visit. I can't tell you how awesome that will be!
Like I've said many times, my ultimate goal is between 150-160lbs or a comfortable 12-14 pant size. I have this one pair of awesome jeans from high-school that I'm doing my best to fit back into. I tried them on again this weekend - THE ZIP! Wooooo!
Even more exciting, I made a trip to the mall for a (that's right a, one, single, as in I refuse to but inbetween fat pants but my largest pant won't stay up with a belt so I have to get a pair to replace them) pair of pants. I found that the store had a new shipment of my FAVORITE brand Hydrolics. If you have not tried this brand, let me tell you they are awesome! They are soft, comfortable, and best of all they stretch. That means, that my size 16 hydrolics fit me when I was an 18 and they fit me now that I'm a 14. So anyway, I grabbed a pair of 14s off the rack and just happened to notice a size 12 next to them. Well, I wanted to know how far off I was from a 12. I knew they wouldn't fit, and there was no way I was buying them, but I wanted to see just how bad of a muffin top I was going to have - and how much more weight I would need to lose to be a size 12. So, I took both pair back to the dressing room. I started with the 14s cause I knew they'd fit, I just wanted to make sure...and sure enough, they fit PERFECTLY in the dressing room. Well, that made me a bit excited, and a bit nervous. As you know, pants that fit PERFECTLY in dressing rooms are TOO BIG (by the end of the day, they've stretched out and are sagging off your butt). That meant that the 12s might actually fit. So, I pulled them off the hanger and held my breath....... and behold:
I fit! Ok, so it's not perfect, and they are STRETCHY hydrolic brand, BUT THEY FIT!!! So I bought 2 pair (the light pair on the left is the pair I tried on first, then I found the dark size 12s after I figured out I could fit ... as you can see there is still a bit of muffin top - and I'm holding my stomach in lol) :0D afterall, my overall goal is a 12, so these aren't really 'in-between' pants. Now like I said, they're not perfect. Still a little tight actually, but they fit better than the size 14 I have in my closet. But it made my day!
Anyway, I actually have work to do so I'm going to end on that happy note. I'll try to update again soon!
