Miss J:

I too have to agree, #4 is great! I don't really Celebrate Halloween, but I can't wait to go out in a dress that's just barely long enough!

FANTASTIC thread Abby!!!

Here's mine:

TRIPLETMOMMA'S TOP TEN LIST

1. Sit comfortably in a booth at a restaurant

2. Ride a rollercoaster without worrying that I won't fit in the seat!

3. Buy clothes at a store that's NOT Lane Bryant, Avenue, Fashion Bug Plus, Katherines... or even Torrid!

4. Not have to mentally calculate weight limits... and how far over I am!

5. Weigh less than the crabass who lives behind me! Just because I know it's going to piss her off in a BIG way!

6. Not be the largest person in the room

7. Run up 2 flights of stairs in my house, without breathing hard!

8. Have a guy on the street look at me and smile

9. Touch my goddamn toes again!

10. Look in the mirror.... and see how far I've come!

Triplets mom I love #5. I can happily say I am now smaller than some of my biggest haters. And it might be slightly immature . But I love the shocked look they get on there face when they see me.

It's a great feeling!

Honestly??

When I told her I was getting the LB, she got MAD. She told me that my husband would hate it if I lost my curves, and that I'd probably end up getting a divorce, blah blah blah.

She and I used to be friendly.... but she has a BAD habit of complaining about me... to everyone else, AND me. We had to work together for the last year on the PTA, and she screamed out one night at a meeting "if ONE more person talks about how much work SAINT Karen has done so far this year, I'm going to go CRAZY!! I've done WAY more work than her!!!" Who does that????

So... am I a witch for wanting to grin like an idiot when I weigh less than her??? (btw.... that would be 220)

YES I AM!! Watch me fly!!

Nope you are completely justified! The curve thing is funny to me. My one friend keeps commenting on how my boobs are shrinking.all I keep saying is so is the rest of me! And the crazy thing is I'm still a D cup. Which is what I was to begin with! I'm 16lbs from goal and I still have plenty of curves! And I'm sure you will too. You should look up the thread "I'm your face moments" there's a couple of really funny posts there.
