I've lost 2 stinking pounds and apparently both are from my chest!!!Sheesh, there wasn't much there to begin with and now even less!!!I'm a few days out from Flo, I should have a busty bossom!!!My whole body is misshaped!I put on a pair of jeans today that should be my normal inseam but they seem too short on me.I bought a pair of the softest corduroy pants. I usually get short but they only had regular and I thought maybe they would be ok given how my jeans were.Nope, they are too long!!!So here's my week with my body and clothes; tops are too big, waist still tight, pants either too long or too short.

Princess...knowing it's only a matter of time before the tiaras don't fit right either

Welcome to my world, Princess (although I don't have the title or tiaras, just the weight loss up top!). When Phyllis was posting about being a size 6 in pants and a little bit larger up top, I was envious! Patty, at least you don't have thunder legs like I.

Currently, I am a 4/6 up top and 7/8 down below because of too ample thighs. Makes buying pants a nightmare. Corduroy - don't even know how to spell it much less buy it - my jeans make enough noise! The only time my thighs didn't rub together was when I weighed 108 and even then they were too big!

Oh well, let's celebrate our youthful looking upperbodies. One good thing is that every time I wear a ribbed or clingy top I get all kinds of compliments about how thin I look. Getting the hair chopped off yesterday brought a new round of "have you lost some weight?" questions, so I liked that.

P.S. I have a Donna Karan suit - size 8 that I had to have both the sleeves and the hem shortened tremendously! One good thing is the pants are nice and loose so I'm glad I got an 8 instead of a 6.

Think it's come off my chest too. I always wore medium size tops but now the smalls are fitting just right and shirts that were always a bit tight and I was going to get rid of are now fitting. Some days you just can't win!

I've always heard it's the first place you lose and the last place you gain. Another one of Murphy's Laws...

Patty,

Gosh, I have to be honest. I think you gals have a wonderful shape. Women are supposed to have hips surely you don't want to look like stick. I think you all look FAB!

Thanks Margie.No , I'm not looking to look like a stick but my top deflated really fast.I've been on a preventive for migraines and a weird side effect is larger bust.I didn't notice much increase but when I dropped the doseage back I really saw a decrease in size!!I've always been small but if I get any smaller I'm back in a training bra!!!
