HI,
I am celebrating that I am down 50 pounds and at 182 lbs; I am the lightest I have ever been as an adult. I plan on taking a picture of me in my size 10 pants and size 12 jacket that I bought from Eddie Bauer 3 years ago as inspiration to lose weight and finally I can wear the suit. I actually bought a size 12 pant and two size 10 pants along with the jacket and I couldn't believe last Sunday when I tried on the size 12 pants, that they were too loose around the waist and hips.
I know vanity sizing is in these days; they say Kristi Alley is actually wearing a size 6 or 8 and not a 4 but I say who cares as long as she is healthy and I am getting healthy! I probably can't go the local store and get into all size 10 pants, might have trouble with size 12 pants but I know what is the range in Eddie Bauer's catalog that I can wear. And I am looking better and better in these clothes. Muffin top is going away, my big butt is smaller and I might see my knee caps soon when standing up instead of fat rolls.
I have to go put the suit back on to take a picture for my JCC who was honored yesterday with an award that she desires. I will admit that I am still not comfortable with cameras so I did not do a video shout-out for her. I was willing to write something up but JC wanted a video.
***I work for a storage company, largest in the world (bigger in computer storage than IBM who I used to work for) and I do not have a smartphone. I think the person who called me about a video shout-out for my JCC was a bit surprised that someone today did not have a smartphone. LOL
Off to see if I can get a good photo for my JCC. If so, I will append it to my blog.

That is so great! You did such a great job taking the weight off steadily! I wish I could lose 5 lbs in a week! I'm usually right around 2 or a little under. How did you do it? do you exercise a lot and stick exactly to the Jenny plan? I hope I'm half way at 14 weeks!

Hi,
I was very inactive when I started JC and right away I threw myself into aerobics, walking the dog like he likes to do and following the menu plan. I was very strict with myself for a long time but around the holidays between starting a weight training program and some snacking, the weight loss slowed down.
The BodyMedia gadget is helping in keeping me aware of what I need to do each day.
Photos:
Well I was trying to input the photos from PhotoBucket.com and I took the photos with a self-timer on my camera. Not great but then I am not pretty. But I like how the suit looks.

You look SPECTACULAR!!!!!! Congrats!!!! You have every reason to be proud. You deserve it! 
BTW, depending on the designer, the cut, etc., I fit into anything from a 4 to an 8 (and a few 10s) and average a 6 but some of them are too big. So forget the number. Just enjoy your new body's shape.
