My first NSV posting!!! Not that I haven't had them, but THIS one is something I have been waiting for for a long time...

This morning I PUT ON MY BF'S BRAND NEW JEANS AND THEY FIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I SO wanted to be able to do that when I went to visit him a couple months ago, but I was at least an inch away from them buttoning.

Okay, they are skin tight, but STILL!!!

They're Rustlers 40x30 REGULAR CUT straight leg jeans. And I had them ON. OMG OMG OMG!!

Here's the weird thing, too... I could have sworn I tried them on a month or so ago, and still couldn't get them buttoned. My weight has basically stablized since April 12th - it ranges from 201-213 between then and now.... My low is posted as 201, but I was 207.5 this morning. I was 211.5 the day I flew off to Europe in April - when the pants were at LEAST an inch too small at the waist.

So for those of you for whom the scale is not moving, I'M TELLING YOU - the body does secret compacting stuff, even when the scale doesn't move.

A gal who's only worked here a month and a half caught me in the bathroom yesterday and said, "You've been losing a LOT of weight, haven't you?!" I laughed, because when she started 6/21 I was 204.5. Yesterday I was 208. But I AM smaller - I can feel it in my clothes. This comment from her was based on her observations over the past month and a-half only - NOT on previous knowledge of my weightloss history.

I'm not working out, so it can't be muscle shrinking my body but replacing the weight...

So I don't know why, I don't know how, and I don't really care... I'm still shrinking, no matter what the scale says. So there, scale!

Donali!

Love the pics...you look awesome!

Congrats!

Donali---no I didn't get the flaunt, I got 2 others, but I don't remember what the name is and today I am not wearing either one. I was a 38DD when I started and guess what--they measured me at Lane Bryant when I got mine and I am STILL A 38DD!!!!!! I was hoping for maybe a 36 or just a D...but, I guess I can say I am blessed.

Just FYI: I am going in on Monday for a fill--hoping to lose my last 20-30-40 lbs; whatever I lose. I can eat a whole Nachos BellGrande from Taco Bell for lunch:-)

I have the hardest finding a bra to fit me. I have a large ribcage and I wear a 50 B. I dont think you can tell how odd I really look because I live in big cotton shirts. The kinds with collars. When I dont have a bra on I look like pancakes. ( Bet our bandster brothers get a kick out of our bra talk and other subjects.) Oh well, Donali I think your pics were great. Congratulations...Janie

( Bet our bandster brothers get a kick out of our bra talk and other subjects.)

I've been some sort of a chef for thirty six years. I've always worked with women more than men. Always had women who were buddies.

But the female talk still never ceases to amaze, delight, tickle, and baffle me.

Go ahead, I'll read, and smile.

Donali,

You look great! Congrats on getting the jeans on. I get so bumed if its cold and My Hubby offers his jacket I can't even put it on. But maybe someday if I have the surgery I will be feeling the same way you do.

But, Ryan, your secret is safe with US! Will you shave your legs, wear a Mexican wedding dress, and post pics wearing a sexy bra?

All this Bra Talk and they opened a Lane Bryant in Gilroy. So off I went last Friday cause I needed bras anyway. I tell the attendant I was looking for the Flaunt and they only had about 10 left. She sizes me and just like Kelly I'm still in the 38DD, perfectly and WOW what cleavage! I opt for the all Cotton style just like the Flaunt. Bought 2, the 2nd one was 1/2 off.

Thanks Donali I love my Bras and Congratulations again, you are beautiful!

HOT DAMN!! The things you miss when you go on vacation! You look fantastic, Donali.

I wear the all cotton, no underwire Cacique from Lane Bryant and love them. Sadly, my C cup is deflating and I'm gonna have to roll 'em up to fill it up. Sigh... But the upside is that I won't have to go to Lane Bryant much longer to find bras.

Isn't it amazing how the feeling of control the band gives can make ya feel so sexy!?

Damn it! I want clevage...

I'll give you some of mine!

Sure!, But I might need to borrow the dress. The sexy bra's no problem.

Years ago I had a second job as a clown. I wore worse than that!

One costume was pink tights, pink leotard, pink tutu, and a blonde ringlet wig. My character name was Frilly.

Actually I think I'm lucky to be a guy. It seems men are able to lose weight easier, and I'll have fewer problems with skin as men have less upkeep to do in that area.

I mean, it also seems that society is more accepting of fat on men than on women. I know wrinkles and grey hair is more accepted, even baldness. We guys have it just too good! Less is expected of us, it seems, when it comes to looks.

JMHO.

Ryan, you are so RIGHT! But if you expect us to cut you any slack, you're out of luck!

I usually don't like to dig up old dead bones but this was too much to pass up! Donali where are you? Hows life with the BF living with you?

I did'nt think you had it in you to post x-rated pictures(refering to the plastic surgery post of wanting all of us to post a collage of saggy boobs) I was wrong. Now I know why you would have the guts to post your boobs...because you've got lots of them!

And where is Geezer Sue????

Way to go, Donali! Hey, if you can get those jeans on, and get them zipped and buttoned, it counts, never mind if it's a little hard to breathe. Now go put a shirt on before you catch cold.

Whip, if you think you can say "One costume was pink tights, pink leotard, pink tutu, and a blonde ringlet wig" without posting a picture, think again, Frilly!

Donali, you're gorgeous, the bra is so you! You are an inspiration to me.
