Awesome!!!! Love it.

Everyone looks amazing, you are all very inspiring, the moment I feel safe on camara agian, I'd say 20 more lbs I will post a pic, until then I will keep watching and enjoying you all.

irishlass1029 · Nov 7th, 2009, 07:19 PM

Raquelly, what a sweet face your doggie has! And I am sure you look great just as you are. C'mon - man up! LOL! I've actually gained 10 pounds, which on me is like 25 for normal-sized people and I'm just looking at how big my arm looks! LOL! But I am happy I actually have a butt now. So I guess you take the good with the bad.

Raz · Nov 7th, 2009, 07:27 PM

OMG, you gained 10 pounds IL!!, see thats what you get for spending time on the PF.
Your HAC looks amazing on you, just gorgeous!!

Thanks! Yes - I actually am fluctuating between 105 and 108 now so 10 to 13 pounds!!! I tried my whole life to gain just one pound and finally it happens. Except now, at my age, it's NOT going where I want it - you know, evenly distributing itself like it did when I was young. Ugh. But I actually wear a real number now instead of a 0 or 00. WooHoo! Still have a hard time finding clothes that fit, which is WHY I fit in this thread so well - wearin' the cheap stuff. LOL! (See I stayed on topic!)

I knew someone was going to say something like that to me, and somehow I'm not surprised it was you

And since I lost weight I lost my butt, my belly does not want to go away but the butt went fast

Yeah, yeah, I know OK, when my bag gets here I promise I will post a pic! I mean I go out in the world every day, so knowing all I will get is love makes it easier. (don't get too excited, it's not a birkin or a kelly, not even all leather, but it's authentic, and very me and I got it for a steal!)

Oh yeah, and thank you, I loved your pup all dressed up for Halloween. He is a sweetie, we rescued him a few years ago.

Just wanted to say that I love this thread! Everyone is looking great

Always love the way you put yourself together, rushka. But spill the beans on those shoes, please. They're gorgeous! Just HOW old are they?

Raquelly, we love looking each other's picture not for judging the person behind it, but because this thread shows that all of us are wonderful, no matter the age, weight, job and the country we live in.
I've to admit I'm thin and many of women I know keep telling me :"you lucky gal, you can eat everything you want without gaining a kilo". True. But where's my breast? I sometimes feel like I have to call CSI to find it!
so don't be afraid, we look forward to seeing a picture of with your H, no matter what it is!
