Stats update and free clothes

I forgot to post my measurements for this last week.  Something I thought was interesting was I didn't lose anything according to the scale but I lost some major hip, waist and boobage!!  I am glad that I started doing the measurements so I can see that my body is changing even if the scale isn't.  If only Hot Duchess (HD) would get her ass in gear, it's hard to get pants to fit my smaller butt and waist but my still huge gut!

My friend's mom recently lost a whole bunch of weight and she passed along three boxes and two garbage bags full of clothes for me to look through.  They started at size 22 and went through 16, so there was lot to choose from.  However....let me just say that some of the clothes are for a more mature lady.  I picked out some of the stuff but I have plenty left over, lots of slacks and button down shirts.  Also so skirts and sweat pants.  If anyone out there wants me to pass them along, just let me know!

Peaches and I are going to the Costa Rica for 12 days in November and I would REALLY like to be below 200lbs at that time so I can do all the fun things (parasailing, horseback riding, zip line).  This trip was Peaches Christmas gift from last year so I have had plenty of time to fantasize about it.  One of those fantasies includes me in a smocktop dress holding hands with Peaches and walking on the beach.  Just like in the movies, kicking our toes in the waves, kissing...sigh.  So on Friday I went with my friend to Ross (a discount store, like TJ Maxx) and found almost the exact dress I had been dreaming about.  For shits and giggles I put it on and took a pic, now when I get to wear it on the beach in November I will know exactly how far I have come!

It is a size large and that sucker was TIGHT, also Hot Duchess was hanging out in all her glory, this picture just doesn't any justice to just how lumpy I looked.
