I'm packing for a trip next week to the rain soaked Mid Atlantic. Boots needed, right?




Uh ... I guess not for this trip!

I expected them to be a little big, but not unwearable!


I had this same issue with my knee length boots! It used to take a lot of pulling and squeezing to get them zipped. I went to wear them last week and they wouldn’t stay up my calves, because they were too big!

Any ideas on where to buy boots for in between calf widths? Pretty sure my legs are still too meaty for regular width boots.

[mention=328469]AshAsh1[/mention] recently said in another thread that she is finding her true fashin style. I realized that I am doing the same.
I wore this outfit to a party tonight. I never before would have worn either white pants nor a yellow top. And I felt fantastic in it!

Love this look!!! I’ve been excited about finally wearing/trying out all sorts of things I’ve always wanted to wear but never felt confident enough about wearing...generally I try to blend into the background with black/neutral clothes!!

My NSVs from today:
Went to old navy wearing my now very very loose size 22 jeans. Tried on a bunch of size 18s and the size 16s which were only a SMIDGE too small for right now! And I got an XL sweater! I also bought a pair of “pixie” chinos in a dark pink/maroon color - way out of my black pants and black sweater ‘uniform’ of the last several years/multiple decades!

I also might be wearing a new/not my usual thing dress tomorrow if I work up the courage :)

I like it, I think it fits nicely. Another 5-10 lbs and you’ll be tripping over it, lol

My most recent NSV (if I can be considered one) was that my friend snapped a pic of me without my knowledge and sent it to me and I didn’t completely hate it, lol

This is a major one!!! I feel like in the past taking pictures I haven't hated always required several shots at very purposeful angles with me trying very hard to sit/stand/breathe in the right places...and even after all that I often just hated them. What a great feeling to like a "real" and candid shot of yourself!!

I have had several NSV recently...

my favorite is that as of Wednesday I am off of my quick acting insulin and my other shot has been taken down from 35 units to 20 units.

My A1C is now 5.4 and I may actually be off of another medication by the time I have my surgery.

I have not had as much knee pain which makes it easier to walk around.

All of this! I despised pics and I always felt bad looking at pics of myself. I stuck to face shots and only if they were taken by me. So glad to know I’m not the only one who is okay with it now 😊

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
