heyitsmejudy Posted May 23, 2013 #2201 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Wanted to share this photo of my new/Sheri's old bracelet and my new MK watch I bought myself as reward for finishing my master's degree while teaching school this year! YAY HOO MEEE! I wore the earrings and bracelet from Sheri/Shorbr yesterday to school and the kids were quite smitten by all my bling. Especially the girls who are SUCH girlie girls, they also LOVE to wash their hands in my room, due, mostly, to the vast collection of Bath and Body Works scented soaps at my sink. Whatever it takes, right? Edited May 23, 2013 by heyitsmejudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PurpleHays Posted May 23, 2013 #2202 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah - why is it when we lose weight, that is the first thing to go?!! Not me! I lost ~70 pounds across about three years and the only time they changed was when Dr. C made them smaller. I went from a DDD to a C and couldn't be happier. Part of the loss was before, part after. The only thing that changed was band size. Right now, I'm at the weight that makes me between 38C and 36D. Neither one fits well. I need to lose 10 more pounds and go down a size so they do fit.

heyitsmejudy Posted May 23, 2013 #2203 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Here's a long gown if someone wants it .. I'm trying in some way to pay it forward for the generosity shown to me! Now that school's out, I can go through my closet a little better. Prior to teaching, I was a newspaper editor, so I have some business suit type things as well as the requisite chamber banquet nonsense that I no longer need. Picture of the dress, a picture of the dress material close up so you get an idea of the layers in it, and a picture, albeit with my and two other people's head chopped off, so you can get an idea of how the gown fits. This is tagged a large - I usually wear a 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammyceej Posted May 23, 2013 #2204 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Congrats on the weight loss! Its a great feeling. Email me closer to the date on how your size is going....I may have a couple of 16s that need new homes. Thank you. I've made note of that. Chances are by October I'll be into a size 14. We'll see. Heck even if I stay right where I am right now I wouldn't complain I feel awesome these days!!! But would like to lose more still and get to either a size 12 or size 14. Not sure I'd look good smaller than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammyceej Posted May 23, 2013 #2205 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Oh, I know. Every 10-15 pounds or so I go down a cup size. The good thing about that is it's easier to buy blouses now. :D Lisa Wow really? I've lost 110 pounds in just under a year. Altho my bra size has gone down a LOT, the cup size has only gone from a DDD to a DD. I'd be happy for the cup size to go smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandilovestocruise Posted May 23, 2013 #2206 Share Posted May 23, 2013 These are size 10. I wore them only a few times on a couple of cruises. I just can't handle the strap between my toes! I love those shoes if you still have them I'm really interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHeadTexan Posted May 23, 2013 #2208 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Wow really? I've lost 110 pounds in just under a year. Altho my bra size has gone down a LOT, the cup size has only gone from a DDD to a DD. I'd be happy for the cup size to go smaller. I have gone from a 40G to a 36DD so far. I am close to a 34D now...maybe 5 more pounds and I will have to buy a new bra or two. I really would like to get to a C cup, but I don't if I can get there without breast reduction surgery. The best thing about going down all these cup sizes is that I no longer have back, shoulder, and neck pain. :) Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preciusme Posted May 23, 2013 #2209 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) The European sizes are normally on shoes in UK too, so back home, I would be a size 6/39 in UK but I can wear size 8 or 9 in US depending on style. Drats, I need to get out more..just realized from your post that US shoes sizes aren't different than Canadian shoe sizes. :o I wear size 8 ..all this time I thought Marie's beautiful shoes were too big for me :( Edited May 23, 2013 by Preciusme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids sure do notice what is new and different about teacher. They would always mention when I had a hair cut and most of my colleagues didn't even notice. I recently had my hair colored, covered up the highlights, and am waiting on the highlights and all that jazz until right before my wedding. Decided to give my hair and wallet a break. You would have thought I'd shaved my head. All day the kids asked what happened to the blonde highlights.

It has a neat illustration (scroll down past the first 2 pictures of bras...) that shows the relationship between band size and cup size, which makes it easier to see how much smaller you actually are as a 34DD for example, than as a 38DD. http://www.epbot.com/2013/04/everything-you-never-knew-you-needed-to.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthopper101 Posted May 23, 2013 #2221 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I went to three doctor appointments yesterday, and will be going to one more this morning. I am getting ready for my foot surgery. I got these two bags from my cousin. She is a manager at Coach. I am not a Coach person. I also want to get rid some of designer handbags, but before I do that I want to check with my daughters. Sometime they get them for their friends. M ***** I am leaving the house for Dr. appointment. I will respond later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all goes well with your doctor's appointment today. I'll be thinking of you as you approach your next surgery. Shorbr:They did get married but that hasn't stopped him from getting written up a couple of times this school year for flirting with student teachers. Some dudes never learn.
