Guest guest Posted December 23, 1999 Report Share Posted December 23, 1999 Hi everyone, I am back from my vacation. I missed the group. I had so much mail this morning, I cannot read it all. I did not win any money, but I did have something happen so much better then money. Now, this may be long, but I have to give a little history before I can brag. I always was a size 5/6, then when I met my fiance 5 years ago, I quit smoking, and became very happy and gained 30 pounds which took me up to a size 14. I have tried everything, but was only ever able to bring myself down to a size 12, and then after starting tae-bo went down to a size 10. I kept telling everyone that I did not want to go back down to a 5/6 because that was too skinny for my height (5'6 " ), but would just be so thrilled to be a size 8. I made it my goal. Well I finally reached my goal I set for myself. I ironed a couple pair of my pants just for the trip, and when I got there they were not in my suit case. I could not believe it, I was like " what am I going to do " ! My fiance said lets go to the mall and just buy a couple pairs of pants. Well, I did not argue with that (ha ha)! So we went to the mall. Well, I grabbed my normal size 10 & size 11's. I even grabbed 2 size 12's to try on. I put them on and opened the door to ask my fiance what he thought and the girl that worked there said those are way to big on you. I am like no they are not, and she said yes they are way to big. I got all nervous and started to sweat (I do not know why). She took all my pants and brought back size 8's. OMG, they fit!!!! I could not believe it. One pair she said was still too big, and brought me a 6, and they fit!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started to cry! I could not believe it. The girl said to me " I do not know what you are thinking, but you are a size 8, sorry to break the bad news to you " ! I was just so use to buying the size 10's and 11's now, that a size 8 seemed so impossible to me. The girl asked me how I lost the weight, & I told her tae-bo, it saved me!!!! I just wanted to share this with all of you. I love tae-bo, and what it has done for so many people. Oh, by the way, I love my (3) new pairs of pants I bought, and feel great in them! Well, that is my brag, I made my goal a reality! Talk to you all very soon. Oh, and Merry Christmas to all of you!!!!!!! Thanks for listening to me brag!
