When I went to louisiana i was very stressed and didn’t eat much. went from size 22 to a 16. Came back home to florida. Was a size 14. Got rid of all my big pants left them behind in Louisiana.
We have once a week a rumba class on thursdays. It is so fun. When we would raise our arms my size 14 would slide down some. I would pull them back on.
Went shopping last week. I tried on size 12 misses and 13 junior just to see. They fit. I bought them and put the 14’s aside. I am so happy.
Has anyone else lost some weight lately?

Thank you everyone. As you know losing weight is not easy. After my 2nd back surgery I just gave up. Takes a long time to heal from 1-3 years. The first surgery I exercised like crazy thinking I was healed. I exercised myself into a 2nd surgery.
That was about 10 years ago or so.I used to be size 3 til I turned 30. In my 40s I packed it on. I was exercising belly dance then the knee surgery 3 years ago thereabouts. I quit exercising to let it heal. Then I just haven’t gotten back into it. I sure miss my 3 wheeled bike. It wasn’t good for my back n knee either tho.
Oh And Henri I didn’t have a hard time finding size 3′. Today tho it is all geared to the young 20’s and teens like you said. Not my style. hahaha We have a new store across the street. The pants are nice and loose at the ankle all cotton I love them. So comfortable. However the tops no no no. Geared towards teens and 20’s. Like you said. I have to come up with tops for the pants somewhere else. With my breasts they won’t fit.
The rumba is fun to do. I need to get back into my belly dancing. Go to the slow baby steps one to start then onto the more advanced one where I was before knee surgery.

Oh I agree BT – having to, or wanting to lose weight would not be easy. I couldn’t imagine how I would cope if I had to watch what I ate, or HAD to exercise – why I admire you – especially after your injury and surgeries. And I also couldn’t imagine what it must have been like to have to give up a lot of what you love because of it. I have nothing but respect for you regardless of your size cause you are a wonderful person (I have come to adore you on BB) and especially for all that you have endured. I love that your feeling better and are happier – no one deserves it more.
We have more in common than bunnies…. LOL! I put my weight on when I hit my 40’s too (but I don’t have an excuse
). AND I found some lovely pants – super comfy (elastic waste – LOL!) and yet look really good on! They sit/flow ever so nicely, and were only $15 each – bargain! Like you, I’m having problems finding nice tops to go with them. Everything nice seems to be catered for the young 
? Oh, and I don’t have the large booby problem – though I’m sure my hubby wished I did! 
ha ha!
You go the rumba and belly dancing BT – I’ll stick to my 80’s dance moves, I’m sure they must do the same job for exercise???? ha ha hah….

Congratulations! That is such a great difference! I had just been thinking about making a weight loss thread, but when I did that before on another forum it did not get much reaction (probably because it was a betta fish forum, and many people on there are around 12-16 and hopefully don’t have problems). I used to do bellydance too, it was so much fun!
I had my thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer when I was 19, and put on about 60 pounds after that while trying to deal with depression and adjusting the medication. I am 6ft tall, but 60 lbs is a lot for anyone. I’m now down about 35 lbs, but I have been plateauing for a long time now, I just can’t get back under 200 lbs. I was a size 18, and we don’t really have money for clothes, but I am fitting into some of my old ones now that are 12-14 depending on the brand. Everything I got while I was bigger is loose on me instead of tight, so that is nice. Not really looking forward to shopping for new clothes anyway, as I will always have trouble finding things long enough, no matter my size. The worst part is the changes in bra sizes, those things are expensive, and I don’t want to buy more until I reach my goal weight. All my old ones are a mixture of too big around and either too big or too small in the cup, and I’m like Goldilocks with my bras.
Overall I am really much happier with my body now. I felt so trapped in that weight, and now I feel like my body can move more, and since I have been working out I am much more flexible that I was even before I gained weight. Flexibility has always been a big thing for me because I grew so fast. I was 6ft tall by the time I was 12 years old. My muscles didn’t stretch out fast enough to keep up, and I didn’t work on my flexibility. Now with diet changes and exercise I always try to remember the saying from the book “Dinotopia” which was something like “eat to live, do not live to eat.”

It also doesn’t help that I don’t have my coconut milk or all my fresh fruit. I’m still waiting for my household goods to show up from the move, and the fridge I have now freezes everything.
