Me!!

Being only 5'2, a 5 pound weight gain shows up on you a whole lot more than it does on a taller person. My sister is that height too and she has always had a problem with weight. I am 5'4 and I can gain 10 # and nobody notices it, she gains 10 # and everybody notices.

You also need to get out and walk on a regular schedule, walking takes it right off! When my son was first injured in that explosion last year and I stayed at the hospital for 7 weeks.. I ate like a horse and still lost 18 pounds, just from the walking!

I walked around in the park where I live everyday for a week and that took 4 pounds off without me even realizing it.

For clothes, can you afford Goodwill or garage sales? That is where I get the bulk of my clothes from. I prefer buying used so that I don't have to worry about them shrinking after they are washed... Get name brand for just a few dollars! ;)

I have a thing about walking alone. I do take Cyrus out on weekends, cause Rose & Francois go out & they leave Cyrus with me & will poke me if I don't take him for a walk :D I can outwalk Cyrus so that has to be a good sign as hes SOOO hyper :)

Right now I cannot afford anything (as in this month, I blew every penny I had on a digi camera.. I needed something to enjoy & taking pictures is a big part of my life)... I did keep all my thin clothing, but I'm still about a 36 or smaller (was a 38), but all my thin clothing is 33-31 :rolleyes: So my goal is to wear a belt for work & to wear shots when I'm at home.. I have those stretchy shorts, so they will last me until I get back to a size 33. I can't wit to go back into my old jeans! I have 20 jeans collecting dust right now & some nice pants & ummm short shorts lol ok they are short for me, but not butt showing short lol :D

I can't wait to see dad this xmas :D He's gonna drop his jaw :D I also plan to get back into working out to beef back up.. I miss being able to lift 100p

Well done:D ! You've done a great job and are looking faaaabulous!!!:D

How old do I look in the photos?? being honest

I would say you look between 20-22.

Jess well done, and you look very cute, you have a very sweet young looking face, as long as you are comfortable within yourself to heck with anyone else, doctors are always very strict with weight issues, if you don't fit into the scale on their chart, you are considered obese, not that they take into count your age or build or anything only your height, i too am the same height as you.

I am concerned you are not eating three square meals a day though, honestly hon, you really need to for your basic nutrition needs and health and well being, it horrifys me to think of you being hungry like that and not eating properly, that just should not be.I am worried about you.

Great to hear you sound so positive in your threads too, it sounds like Sean (hope i got the name right) is really good for you, TAKE CARE. :)

My work pants don't fit anymore! I have to keep pulling them up :D

Isn't that the greatest feeling? Congrats on your weight loss! :D

The more I hear about Rob the happier I am you got away from him. You were never fat, I am overweight and it sure doesn't help to hear someone say you are fat...

You are very cute and prettieness is in the eyes of the beholder so if your new guys calls you pretty he probably really thinks you are, don't get angry at him.

You have done great, just focus on your health and the rest will fall into place.
