That is so freakin' fabulous Mandi!~!~

Especially the last pic with your two jeans on!!! Man, if THAT isn't telling.....what is, eh?!!!

Thanks for sharing! You looooook beeeeeeaaaautiful!!!

:clap2:

MANDI CONGRATS!!!!!!! :clap2:

You look great!

I know you said in your earlier posts that sometimes in your head you don't notice or feel like you have changed but sister just look at those pics.

As for shopping in so-called normal stores trust me when I say you can pretty much shop in any of those stores. I do know what you mean though... when I was your size (which I hope to be again soon) I was always feeling the same way. Too big for normal... not big enough for plus. Just wait and let your mind catch up with your body if you need. You will be where you want in no time.

OMG Mandi! I just got back and i finally get to see some before and afters of u! U look mahhvalous dahhling! Half of u is missing!!!

I can sympathize with you. My wife has the exact same problem. Clothes shopping can be a real bummer.

Andrew

Thanks buds !

Man.. there's so many new posts everyday, I don't have time to read and respond to them all!

Weigh-in tomorrow... I'm feelin' a little budge on the scale!

I've also got an appointment with pain tomorrow morning. 9:00am dentist appointment. Haven't had a filling since before I lost all my baby teeth. :( I've also got to have a wisdom tooth removed at the same time. Luckily it's broken the skin, so it'll be 'easy'... yeesh.. yeah right.

I think I'll hold off on the 'normo' stores... I just can't do it. I have to wait ALOT longer! Old Navy's as 'normo' as I'll go. The XXL's fit me, and I got me some size 14 corduroys at Christmas! I don't believe Old Navy stuff though.. I think their sizes are way off.

Anyways... hi to everyone I haven't gotten to respond to their threads. I'll try to catch up!

Wish me luck tomorrow

Mandi

want some of my leftover demerol for the tooth pain you will end up having tomorrow?

AAAAAAh.....better you than me, my friend....been there done, that....not a happy time!

You'll be fine....good luck!

Yes pleeeeeeease!

I have old T3's and some liquid tylenol with codeine (a HUGE bottle, Mookie, you musta went through it FAST!).. doesn't do a thing for me. I wonder if they'd prescribe me something (anything! preferably not T3's)...

good luck at the dentist mandi...this too shall pass. Amazing how EVERYONE hates the dentist! I wonder if they have low self esteem?

I forgot to add: I'm off to have a goodbye 'coffee' with a couple from work. The girl of the couple, Maki, is being sent back to Japan. Apparently her having been here in school for the last couple years, and a steady job isn't a good enough reason for her to be allowed to stay. Her and her boyfriend just got engaged over the christmas holidays, and on Thursday he's gotta say goodbye to her for a few months, possibly 6. It sounds like he'll just end up going there, and them getting married, alot sooner that they'd planned... but it'll still take a while for her to be able to come back.

She's so cute... I've probably lost HER (in weight).. Everything she talks about is "Oooooh, that's sooooo scaaaary!" Dan does a great impression.

So yeah, I'm sad about that.

Holy crap what the hecks been going on here? Mandi's posting porn like pics, Yoda's pushing pills, someone's doing a great Japanese accent and I'm totally not in the loop.

You look awsome BTW!! You're too sexy for this thread, too for this thread...Burlington and Flin Flon! And you shake your shrinking tush in the hallway!! "oooooh, that's sooooo scaaary!* Note, I only used 3 a's b/c my impression isn't as good as Dan's.

haha Mookie... glad you're back ;)

I haven't been in Canuck Corners for awhile. (I've been brawling over in Rants and Raves.)
Mandi, Congratulations on your big NSV!!! :clap2: I love the double jeans photo. :) You are looking fabulous and your ticker info is most impressive!! :D Thanks for posting the photos, eh.

Hey green (and everyone!)! Thanks! I've seen a little bit of you in that Rants and Raves!!! Come back here to Canada!!!

I can't believe my freakin' ticker says 99 lost... AND only 43 to go. Holy crap. Like I've said before, who knows if 142 is realistic for me, and maybe I wouldn't go that low. BUT man... ONLY 43 lbs... and I still look like this after 99? I guess they say that losses are more noticeable the less and less you weigh. Maybe 40 more pounds would make a huge difference.

I talk like its attainable. Is it? I've done good so far... should I let myself think I ACTUALLY MIGHT MAKE IT!? I haven't really believed it so far.. which one of you said you were waiting for the other shoe to drop? Neenagh... Maria?

My friend got a raise at work today... the friend I brought here. She got thrown into what kinda ended up being a supervisor role, and jumped up $4000 (a year) more. I was depressed today, about that... cause... geesh... I need more money. When your student loan payments take up 1/3 of your income... that's alot, no? And that's making the lowest payments I possibly can. I'd be flyin' if I didn't have those to pay off. I wouldn't be rich, by ANY means, but... that extra money would be nice. Oh.. to actually save money... what a concept!

I was thinking what else I could possibly do. That I just might have to. It's not like I'm making minimum wage.... I can't imagine if I had to get a regular job, and live on minimum wage... I couldn't.

Anyone hiring? Pretty good paying jobs, with little training/school needed? Seriously. :(

Mandi, of course it is attainable, look how great you have done so far, think positive you just have to be like the the little engine that said. I think i can, I think i can, I KNOW I CAN.

How come your friend got that position over you?, does she do different work than you?, maybe it is time to hit the boss up for a raise.

Maria

I agree with maria....does your buddy do a different type of work?

And...*smacks you upside the head*...OF COURSE it is attainable....yes.... I mean, lookit you go!!!! I bet you thought 100lb lost would never be attainable and you are pretty much already there!!! Now, the loss might slow down and become more gradual...but that is OK!!! It may even be better with helping it to stay off and then maintaining....as long as you lose over the longterm you're laffin'!!!!! You WILL get there Mandi......absolutely!
