I'm definately impressed Anne. Not only did you lose the weight, but you track your post.. There are not many girls here that do that ya' know...
Anyways, about the weight issue. I found that there are generally two types of people in this world, those that can eat 3000 calories one day and balance it out over the next few days so there is no net weight gain and then there's me. I could, and have in the past, eaten 3k calories on Monday, and dive right back into another 3,000 calories the next. Turns out that just 500 calories a day over or under your idea intake can result in a pound a week.
So since joining this site, I've dropped from 'round 220 to now 'bout 180. I've had to 'purge' two corsets and I closed the back on them while loosing the weight. Not to mention all the clothes that I bought at the old weight, they all end up back at the thrift store....
I've been heavier and I've been lighter, lighter is much better for me. The depression is gone, (partly because of more Renne time) and the chlorestal is down so no more meds there either....
Now my hair is getting longer and I don't wear much of any male clothes even in malemode. Chic shoes, socks, jeans and a polo shirt and that's me in drab mode... With the few months under my garter belt of being out and about I've picked up the IDC 'tude and don't care what anyone thinks about the way I look now in either mode. It's a great relief for me and hope it will be for you too....
Great thread... :-)
Renne.....
