Default Early Christmas Present

Well, I did it. I hit another "goal" of sorts. I hopped on the scale this morning, fully expecting it not to have moved...and it did! I am now 199!!! I'm in the under 200 club!!!! The day after Christmas will be 7 months for me, so I guess losing 123 lbs isn't too terribly bad. I still want to lose more, but I know it will come off slower, which is a bit discouraging. Funny thing happened at work today. I was walking across the parking lot and another teacher was standing outside. I was carrying a box and my pants started to fall off. I had to holler at her to help and she just about fell over laughing. She just reached around and hiked them back up. It's great to need smaller clothes, but I don't have the time or money to go get more right now. Maybe Santa will bring some to me LOL

Talking Too funny!

Hey Tabitha,

That is a funny story. I've been experiencing the same thing lately. My pants keep falling off at work too. I need to buy some new ones. But, the funny thing is...I am never the one who realizes that my clothes are too big. It's always my co-workers that say, "Hey Stacie, time to buy a new pair of pants". It's so hard for me to realize that I'm smaller now.
