Thanks for starting this jbedore73 It's hard to find people that I can relate to sometimes. I have been struggling with my weight for half my life and until now have never felt like I had a handle on it, that is, until I joined CC. Everyone is so nice and supportive and I don't feel so isolated anymore. Together we can do this ladies!!!

Old Navy just below the waist curvy(sweatheart) size 8short( bootcut)
I know exactly what you are talking about Jamminator. I have some junk in my trunk and can't do low rise without having a plumbers crack all day!! and Crack is whack everyone  remember that!!I really like the skinny jeans but they are usually low rise, I found that if I go up a size or 2 they fit much better. Either way I have such a hard time finding jean cause I'm 5' tall and have a big bum , my jeans are always loose at the waist!!!suggestions anyone!?!?

I'm so glad you posted this southern_midwife

my closet was full of jeans from ranging from sizes 16 down to 10 I dreamt of the day to be able to go to my "skinny" jeans and celebrated every time i was able to go a size down!!now I'm an 8!!! it was the best feeling in the world when I cleaned out my closet and took bags and bags full of clothes that were way to big over to Goodwill!! Now I have the pair of size 6 jeans that I use as motivation!! and whenever I'm feeling down I try on a dress that once was fitted and now I just look silly in because it is way too big. Congrats to all and lets keep up the good work!!!

Congrats!!!

Let us know when you reach you're final Goal!!

In March 2006 I saw pictures of me on my 28th birthday and did not like it at all,  I went to my doctor and was diagnosed with PCOS(poly-cystic ovarian syndrome) and borderline diabetic!!I didn't like where that was going. I'm still single and I would like to be married with children someday and I knew it would be almost impossible if I kept living the very unhealthy lifestyle I was living. Now I'm almost 50lbs lighter way more active and loving it!!

First of all congrats on your weight loss!! you should be very proud!!

Thanks for the advice I too have been blessed/cursed with lovely lady humps(DD) and have been afraid to jog for that reason. I'm heading to Target after work and hitting the treadmill ASAP!!

I think your best bet would be to prepare your own.  It's not that hard and you're right it's good on everything!!! Your basic Salsa is chopped tomatoes, onions and Cilantro. you can also add Jalapeño peppers if you spicy food. add a little limes juice and salt and pepper to taste and you have a pico de gallo salsa. There are so many varieties to choose from at the store and some are pretty decent but watch the labels for sodium content.
