@Vicky
GGGGGGG00dmornng Vicky I liked your post. Thank you for taking the time to get us started on the right foot. TGIF.

I'm anxiously waiting for my nieces to receive the jackets I sent them . I just pray they fit them. They were final sales on the auction.
I got 3 Adrienne jackets for me all the same size. 1 is too big and 1 just fits. I wore it yesterday and felt like a million dollars. I have lost weight over the last couple of weeks and I think that is why it fits. The 3rd one is the Rose leather jacket. It is probably tight *. I will probably have to stop eating to fit into that one. The reviews were right about the sizing. Live and learn.
Your words have made me smile. What a great way to start your day. All the best for you too today.

You should read the other thread that Gypsy made with title Friday
Her posts make my day. She is so artistic.
How did you manage to lose weight, stuck in the house.
I am wearing loose tents, so I dont realize how much I gained by starting my day with a couple To be followed by

When Diet clubs are closed and away
The chunky ones ( thats me) will play

I FIGURE IF I MEET UP WITH THE BAT BITTEN SNAKE
HE WILL HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF NEW FOUND WEIGHT
TO TRY IN VAIN TO INVADE

I am glad the clothes you got from shoplc was a hit
Have a great healthy, safe day

Vicki,
You are a poet. I needed a hug today. I went back and read Gypsy threads. She is right I have lost my sense of humor. My package from Shoplc didn't arrive today. So now I guess I will have to put makeup on again on Monday and keep a couple of Powerade cold for the mailman. I don't want to scare the him is a young father. He told me when he gets home he and his daughter drink them together.

I have been on a low carb diet. Simply eliminating sugar, bread and eating chicken and broccoli. And have lost 37 pounds. And then my sister comes and stays for a visit and she cant stand the Keto pancakes so then I put back on another25 pounds. This time I lost those pounds because the cat got sick and I just couldn't eat. I'm thankful for the weight loss and the cat is doing better. If I want to wear my new jackets from Shoplc I will have to keep the weight off. MY sister has gained over 80 pounds so I had challenged her to a contest. She couldn't do it. She just isn't ready and when she is it will work. One day at a time. The warmer weather is coming and it is a great motivator. I wont be able to hide inside of my coats and ponchos.
Like you say it is happy Friday and all is good. What is wrong with me I don't have a reason to complain or be down. You are right we made it to FRIDAY.. Big sigh I will keep repeating your message "lets all have a happy day."

I am the champion gainer, so so loser. Forever on Atkins, I actually was his patient before he died. He had Persian carpets on his office walls.
I have 5 different sizes in my closets.
For my kids weddings I starved, coffee and zucchini diet for months. I atill had the energy to work full time on my feet 12 hours a day. Thats youth for you.
I will never forget. Usually when I would go into a store they rarely carried my Plus size. Well I starved for months for my Sons wedding. Went into a store to look for a leather coat. The guy says to me. Im sorry miss, we dont carry your size. Our sizes start at small. You need a X- small. WAS HE ACTUALLY TALKING TO ME ?? When I looked in the mirror I looked fat. So that lasted for a while and then the weight slowly crept back.
I did notice that when I was a size 4-6 I bought everything Black or navy blue. When im overweight I buy brighter colors.
So its all in our mind. I never saw myself as thin.
Forget about dieting now when Im home 24 hrs with BORING programs. I used to really enjoy watching shoplc. They are now selling mostly high end, presentations are hours long. Except for under $10 Friday.
I bought quite a few diamond pieces from them to gift to my kids, but not for the prices they are charging now. I paid about half of what they are charging now for the same diamond pieces.
Used to be exciting to grab a bargain and apply a coupon at shoplc. All that is history. I wish those days would be back

STAY SAFE

I chuckled all the way through your message. Talk about yo yo dieting. I tried Atkins but the only one that worked for me was weight watchers. At one of the weekly weigh in meetings I gained about 5 pounds. the councillor said "Oh my you must have eaten 1 too many apples" I wanted to respond heck 1 too many apple pies.
Memories came back as I read your message. I have a leather coat with a beautiful fur collar, Just like the cloths you wore for your kids wedding they sit in the closet. I only bought it about 4 years ago and only wore it a couple of times until I couldn't do it up .
I'm also so happy they now sell plus sizes that are comfortable to wear. I love your story about shopping for cloths and what the clerk told you.
I only started to buy colourful cloths when I bought ponchos in red and purple from Shoplc. It always cheered me up to see others in colorful cloths.
I have been buying from shoplc since 2014. It used to be a challenge to use a 40% discount code on an item shown on the live auctions. Remember when they had clearance sales they were jaw dropping.
However I still managed to get myself in trouble with the budget pays this year because the Canadian dollar keeps dropping. Shoplc has extended some of my bp but I don't think it is going to help.
TGIF. Put those beautiful diamonds on and sparkle. You are a bright light.
