Following Roxy's lead...my weight loss journey

[Kim Bombshell]

In 2005, I went to the Hollywood showdown, had a great time, stayed at a hotel afterwards and it was all the photos from the afterparty that went me say "Woah! What the hell happened to me?"

I decided to go to weight watchers and I believe my beginning weight was 253. I have no idea what my measurements were, but I was wearing a modern size 22. In 14 months, I got down to 189, my measurements were 40bust 33 waist and 46 hips. I know this because I sent them for my first WhirlingTurban dress.

About that time I stopped attending the weight watchers meetings. I looked good, felt good and gradually just stopped going. In May of 2007 my husband and I separated and I started seeing an overweight Englishman. I ate right along with him when we went out and my eating habits started to slip and I went right back to bacon cheesburgers and fries.

My clothes gradually started getting tighter, and I started taking things out. When I my husband and I reconciled 7 months later, the eating continued with my contentment. Finally, last July, more than 2 years after I stopped WW, I went back. I was back up to 232, and had gained over 40 pounds!

I was determined then to lose the weight again. I followed the program strictly and started jiving every Friday night at a record hop in San Francisco.

I am down 42 and half pounds as of last week. Although I weight the same as my lowest in 2006-07, my measurements are quite different than they were then. Because of the dancing, here are my stats:
Height: 5'8"
Weight 190
Bust 38
Underbust: 33
waist: 30
hips: 451/2

My goal is 160 with 28-29 waist and 42 inch hips.

Weight Watcher's meeting yesterday I only lost .2 pounds...so I am now 188.8. My weekend in LA with the Frantic Flintstones, was not good for weight loss! They came to San Francisco with me, so hopefully I will stay on track!

[Roxy Tart {PL Team / Comm. Mgr}]

188 is still good! And you look great. Everyone messes up, you'll get back on track!

2nd week in a row I didn't do so well, I was up half a pound, but I am being very disciplined and writing EVERYTHING down. Also, I didn't get to go jiving the last couple weeks, but I will be dancing 2 nights this weekend. I really want to get down 7.5 pounds by Viva! I have 34 days...wish me luck!

[Roxy Tart {PL Team / Comm. Mgr}]

Good luck hon! A bad week is no big deal, just do what Dr. Oz says and make a "u-turn"! I know you can do it!!

[Honey B Hooligan {Madam}]

I blame entertaining my european houseguests and not going jiving 2 weeks in a row!
