Thank you for the inspiration, Silly Kitty! It is truly one of my favorite outfits that make me feel 10 feet tall! ;] Absolutely, the fashionista twins! Have you been wearing your pants suit lately? Really versatile. Here's a close up of the seamstress magic. She took the fabric belt and added a more structured, better laying collar. Then, to my surprise - matched up the crane necks which I thought gave it a neat finished look. If you do wear it again... take another picture.

Do I hear fashion police sirens! Busted. I am definitely a copy cat. Another petite posted this wonderful jump suit a few months ago, and I just loved it on her! And, hailed her very good taste. It is the perfect garment for me. The elongated silhouette for this shorty; sleeves that conceal my bat wings; incredibly comfy flowing fabric AND a tropical twist (we have cranes strolling about everywhere)! Seriously, though, I hope no offense. I believe we live on opposite coasts, and doubt we will show up at the same dinner party. Tonight, I wore it to a cocktail party... I had my seamstress re-work the V top that was too low, hem, a nip and tuck here and there. Found the belt on sale at Macy's.

I want that sock monkey! You look really nice in red...

Wow. Meow! I love it. You are looking absolutely sensational... with each progressing photograph!!!!

How exciting to go from Skipper to Barbie... But I think you look pretty FABULOUS right now!!!

So glad to see your face... You are a truly beautiful woman!

I can see that your day got a little rougher! Haha! I want that snazzy tool belt.

LOVING your new Christmas dress ordered!!!! Adorable!

Think that's bad, I live with a parrot! My new belt is not as cool as yours. Is that a taser gun I see?! I need to zap one of my current project contractors. Happy Halloween everyone!

Can't wait until you model all your fabulous new winter digs!!!

Your are looking sensational in neutrals this fall... Love the outdoor pic! Thanks. I can hear the crisp crunch under foot. Great glasses with your Burberry scarf. I want to get one of their vintage rain coats with plaid lining when I settle at goal someday. A definite wardrobe classic...

My favorite button up sailor dress jeans revealed! I purchased them on sale this past summer in a very extra small size 8, at least for me. I can hardly believe they are fitting today, and a little loose in the behind. The belt much too large - took to the cobbler's today. My attempt at a Fall outfit (still in the 90's here) with a twice taken in blouse wearing my great-grandmother's cameo. Sort of an Out of Africa movie state of mind... For those in cooler climes do send a colorful leaf peeping picture with yourself. Really miss the crispy Fall change of season. :[

LOVE the coat and boots! The boots make you look 10 feet tall! Look out NYC! And, let the snow flakes fall... ;]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Hi Jeelena, first off... YOU LOOK FABULOUS!!! Congratulations! You had such a pretty smile then, and now - It simply radiates. You are stunning in your new gown. Nice arms, too. Thank you for sharing your process and specifics with us. Inspiring. I, too, have accumulated a lot of loose skin on my upper arms (¾ sleeves are a God send!) and very sagging breasts (another God send - a great supportive bra!) LOL!!! Wearing a size petite 8 or 10 jeans (2-3X before) but the mid-section droop does get in the way. The slight stretch in new generation slack/jean fabrics does help hold it all in!!! Petite medium to small tops with a 38C from 40DD. Experimenting with body foundations for the first time for wearing dresses. I rarely wore a dress before. I plan to start preparing, saving$ and interviewing plastic surgeons for a tummy tuck, hopefully before my 25th anniversary vow renewal + gala next May. I want this defined waist for my gown design below. :] I have not tried Pilates yet. I must follow-up on your recommendation for it as a new exercise routine. Actually, loved water aerobics even hovering at my highest of 298. Oh boy. Remained pretty active + happy despite all the weight and baggage I carried. For now, I walk with my dog and remain very active with work. I am meeting with a physical therapist next week to review my back posture, gate and balance before starting any formal exercise. Adhering mostly to The Obesity Code way of nutrition. 80-100oz.+ of water or hot tea per day. Add propel and Isopure. 21 pounds until my final goal BUT others who have already had plastics say 5 - 8 pounds can be attributed to the weight of loose skin. Factoring that in, I'm only 16 pounds to goal. LOL. Probably as a petite 5'0" and shrinking with age (turned 60 past May) - losing too much weight, not really. Some research says I should weigh 105 - 112. Will cross that bridge when and if I get there. Jeelena, how are you finding maintenance? Are you still losing? Keep up your wonderful achievement. Sending posies in way of celebration with you! ;]

Oh Louise, Congratulations!!!! Getting our sleeves was truly a major game changer right!? Send us a snap shot of the new you! Here I am with my wire fox terrier, Bobby. I am definitely enjoying much longer walks and adventures with him! I'm 21 pounds from my goal. Love The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, MD and look forward to his new cookbook coming out. How are you maintaining besides exercise? Is your hunger back? So very happy for you. Wow. ;]

I didn't realize you have hit your goal! Congratulations!!!! Now if all you ladies over 5' 6" would lend me just a ½"... I'd be at goal too! Haha. You are looking FABULOUS!

We've missed you! Happy Fall, ms.sss...

Wow. I'm breathless... you look simply exquisite (trying to find another word than just using amazing all the time, BUT that too!), Silly Kitty! The belt and shoes perfecto. Think it's time to introduce the meow to my dentist!!! ;]

New top and slacks. My very first all synthetic outfit. Use to avoid them due to the cling. So excited to have arrived in the 40's this weekend! Wahoo!

GORGEOUS, AMAZING outfit! So creative, colorful and happy. I remember body suits back in 8th grade... Can you believe their back again!!!? Hope you'll take in the skirt. Definitely a keeper. What a beautiful new figure - you must be over-the-moon in body suits! ;]

OH soooo glamorous... You wear it well! ;]

Many many congrats!!! You are getting so close to your desired goal. Happy Fall, too! Maybe treat yourself to a great pair of Autumn boots this season?... And, definitely strut your stuff! So happy for you. Thanks for updating us.

Hooray! Yeah, extra room. How exciting. Think I can wear boots in South Florida? Maybe come January a test run up the calves...
