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.

Holy Crap Kim!!! That is awesome!!

[Kim Bombshell]

OK...down over 47 pounds! 184.8! I will list my measurements again next week to see where I stand. I think I might make my next goal of 50 pounds total by Viva! After that, on to my goal weight of 160!

[Auburn Hills]

That's great. I wish you continued success.

[Kim Bombshell]

OK...I'm down 48 and a half pounds....not sure if I will make the 50 pounds lost by Viva, but I'm sure I'll hit it while I'm there!

No time to take my measurements right now...will try to do it before I go to Viva.
