I can zip up my boots!!!

I can't find a good spot for this, but last year I got some boots and could only zip the up about halfway. This year, after lapand, I can not only zip them up but they are sort of big around the leg. I'm so thrilled.

    Congratulations on zipping it up! You've probably toned the legs and have more muscle there now. Keep up the good work!

    Well, I've noticed that my legs are getting quite thin. I look like a balloon standing on sticks. My stomach is still huge as are my arms. I'm hoping they will get smaller someday but I haven't lost a pound in a couple of months. I think it's because my band is too tight and I can't really eat a lot of protein and veggies. So I exist on fattening stuff. But I'm going to get an unfill on Christmas break and hope that I will start losing again. Oddly, it seems that one must eat to lose weight. Whoda thunk it?

    Thats fantastic! Way to Go!

    Buying some boots is one of my band-goals!

    Lane Bryant had boots last year and they were pretty cool looking. They are cut for larger legs. I like English riding boots and they had those. I didn't get them because I got the other boots that I couldn't zip up. I also bought a leather jacket from Lane Bryant and it's very good. I also have a padded leather coat from there. They have some nice clothes. Take a look at their site.

    That is wonderful! One of my goals is also to be able to wear boots someday. I have always had fat legs/calves and have never had a pair of boots since I was a teen.

    I love the look of riding boots with long skirts. that is one of my "clothing wish" goals.
