All I see is the 10 lbs of gut that's still there and the spare tire. Sigh.

Same here. I haven't lost anything to write home about but the Hubster says he notices it is 'shifting'. Well, okay...

But, the gut. I think there is only so much that can be worked off by walking/riding my recumbant bike and dieting. At some point {which I am not ready for yet....} I will have to add to my day the 'floor' exercises. This are the sets of sit ups, leg lifts, crunches, etc. Not so appealing to me yet.....

Talking about stores and sizes, I noticed when I tried on clothes at Lane Bryant and then the others, I was able to fit a size or two down at LB. That was nice.

Even shopping at Target, I have to take into account where I am looking at clothes; if I am in the Jr. section, go way larger. If I am in the womens, I can stick with my size.

Otherwise, it hurts soooo much to pick up a shirt accidentally in the Jr. section, bring it home and have it fit like a sausage skin.

I loved your post, Eliza.
