Grats Indianlight

Speaking of which, I was getting dressed this morning and decided to wear my favorite black skirt that I haven't had the opportunity to wear for a while. Well, it was so big it sat on my hips, widest part and with a little tug would come right off. It is a size 30, I guess my 30's are just way too big, it is now on my ever growing pile of clothes to be given away. I am gonna need some new clothes soon

YAY MOLLY!!!!! I'm so proud of you. You're doing great!!!!

But I'll give ya'll the link, and no I did not brush my hair this morning, and no I do not go to school with my hair like that, lol. Please excuse my grooming and lack of makeup but one was the morning of surgery and the other... well today is my day off from looking all fancy, hehe.

And thanks for all the encouragement :rolleyes:

Molly, you are too cool! You look fabulous! You can really tell a difference in your overall shape! You lucky dog! I wish my bod was changing as fast!

PS-I like the blonde hair better!

waterlily1072 · September 12, 2006

THanks LapBandit, I like the blonde better too :rolleyes: I have naturally blonde for half of my life and as I've gotten older my hair has darkened to light brown, yuck on me. I let it go natural (heaven only knows why) and changed it back to blonde when I started school. Blonde is definitely more me :eek:

Congrats on making this milestone, Molly!! You're looking Good!!!

Josette · September 12, 2006

You look great Molly. A few weeks ago I also colored my hair the same shade of blonde that yours is. I look so much happier. hahaha

We need a term, akin to "Reaching Twoterville" but for getting under 250. Any ideas? Twoterville and Onederland are just too darned far apart not to Celebrate the midpoint.

How 'bout "at the crossroads" between twoterville and onederland?

How 'bout MidTown!

LapBandit · September 14, 2006

I like "at the crossroads" but "midtown" has a certain ring to it. I like it!

I like midtown too!!!:biggrin1:

JulieNYC · September 15, 2006

OK, MidTown it is! I love it! Thanks, guys.

So, now that I'm officially under 275 (the "crossroads" between entering Twoterville and reaching MidTown, wink), I'm starting to really think ahead. I guess somewhere along the way I've started to trust the band. That's so weird. I actually believe I'll make it to MidTown and to Onederland. It's put a whole new spin on my life.

I've got a job interview tomorrow that I wouldn't have gone on 3 months ago (mostly because I really do love my current job, but now I just want to keep a few irons in the fire as well and know what's out there).

The boldest move I've made is taking steps toward a relationship with someone I've been interested in for a long time, but have always kept it totally platonic because I felt the time wasn't right. Well, the time may be right soon enough and I've started planting the seeds.

I guess that's it for tonight. Hope all is well with you guys.
