I usually only lurk but I wanted to come out and just say that you are an inspiration to me and I hope you’re not offended but I started my own weight loss blog a while back and use the same method you use to record weight loss….I am so excited for this journal and very excited for you and your accomplishments as well.

Hm, let’s see. White, plain, long t-shirt that I stole from my grandmother’s closet. A soviet relic, made in the 40s sweatshop-labor free. A blue, tightly knit cardigan. 3 buttons, just above the elbow length sleeves. Also from said grandma’s closet. Jeans from Ann Taylor Loft with the loveliest dark blue wash. Fit like a dream. To top it all off, red galoshes from Banana Republic with a beautiful and very groovy red, white, and orange plaid thing going on at the top. With a buckle! With a buckle! Does it get any better? My ex-Spanish lector ran into a pole while admiring said outfit/ (perhaps me?) Ah…love.

Medium

Large

Please?

Thank you kindly.

small 1st choice, medium 2nd choice

I feel my very best in my clasic black peacoat with some ankle length black boots, and bootcut dark denim DKNY soho jeans. LOVE the DKNY Soho jeans. I keep that coat on over my outfit as much as possible, which works pretty well in North Dakota because it’s so dang cold here it’s common to keep your coat on indoors.

I have an above-the-knee black pinstriped suit – the kind that has both the under dress and the outer coat the same length – that I think I look great in. Most guys will say that a suit like that always looks hot on a woman and I agree. It’s professional and sexy. I wore it to a plus-sized model runway audition. (It’s funny that now that I’ve lost enough weight to get me out of the plus size clothing department, I’m finally the right size to be considered a plus size model (12/14)).

If I win, I’d like a large. Thanks!

I need a large, I am still working on the smaller sizes. Speaking of Target I bought two of the exact same skirts in the exact same style and size, but different colors… One is w-a-a-a-y (notice the 3 a’s) to tight on a certain area of my body! What gives with the Merona sizing? So this is my humble contest entry. Thank You.

I personally love my skinny jeans with this fabulous tied-neck black shirt I have that has a big, jeweled broach in the center. It shows off my shoulders and my arms, hides my tummy, and makes my legs look awesome. I usually wear this with black leather high-heeled boots, because I’m 5’9 and I’m not afraid to be 6’2 ;-D

I would take the large first, then the medium, since I’m working my way to fitting into both (small is a bit too tiny, since those are usually made for short people). ;-D

Here’s the thing about the outfit that makes me feel pretty: About a week after I started my weight-loss “journey” (yes, tired and cheesy, I know, I know) I realized that I FELT PRETTY IN EVERYTHING! It has something to do with the fact that I’m DOING something to lose the weight – that’s the only thing I can figure. And I’ve felt “pretty” in everything since.

Yeah, I’m fat, but suddenly I am okay with how I look at the moment because I am actively working on it each and every day.

Since I began losing weight “for real” (is there such a thing as “for fake” losing weight?!) I’ve been fine with pictures, going to parties, public speaking, and every piece of clothing I wear.

Love your blog! I would like a medium first and a large second.

I have a black dress that I feel really cute in, but haven’t worn it anywhere yet!!!

This is odd, but the best outfit I seem to remember (from back when I was slim) was a costume I made myself for a party, where I went disguised as a bottle of 7up. Sounds lame, and probably is, but I looked great in that green dress…

Hmmm, tank top is not my color. Maybe next time.
