Nudies and Undies

First off - 253.5 - WOOHOO!! 36.5 lbs gone. Go me! (EDIT: I'm adding that overall, from my highest weight ever in 2006 I have lost 55 lbs but since August of 2009 when I started this blog and starting this particular journey I've lost 36.5)

So I took a new round of nudies the other day. I compared them with the October ones and they confirm that my weight is lost mostly in my face, my shoulders, my back and my boobs, maybe a little bit in my thighs. I will probably continue to do this every three or four months so I can really see where the differences are happening. I really recommend it for people to do. And it really isn't that depressing to look at them. I think it's help me become more accepting of my body and less ashamed of it.

As far as undies - I have had to throw away a whole bunch of too big undies. They just weren't working for me anymore. I probably should have thrown them away a while ago because they've been big for a while, but for whatever reason I did not do it. I'm nearly ready to throw away the next size too because they are kind of big. I have a whole box of size 9 cute undies (which are still a little bit too small) just waiting for me. I believe they stop making cute/sexy underwear that is reasonably priced at size 9. I think Kohl's had a sale a few years ago and I stocked up. I did wear a pair that was a little stretchier than the others the other day. It really made me happy. They are these funky red ones with bright swirls and flowers. Just wearing them made me feel more confident. Partly because of the size, but more so because I had girly pretty NORMAL undies on like other women wear.

Exercise is good...I pumped yesterday and did Body Flow today. Tomorrow is pump again.


Happy Day all around!!

  2. You are on a very good roll, Jodie! Congrats on the weight loss and the excellent workouts. I just recently got into size 8 undies to my delight (though if I don't watch it I'll be resurrecting the 9S!), so I know how good it feels to get cuter ones. You'll be there sooner than later, and how nice you have a tidy stash waiting! Well done!!!

  3. I am still wearing some of my 12s and they hang off my butt big time! I did buy some 10s and they fit good so I really need to purge the big ones out.

    Good idea on the nudie pics. I am still afraid to do it but something to think about...

  8. Congrats on the loss to date! I still can't get my head around US clothes sizes as they're not consistent (what are 'Misses' all about?!)
