I'm on my own weight loss path at the moment and it's getting frustrating unpicking skirts to take them in at the sides! But really nice being 20 pounds lighter so far. I have a long way to go,, and like you will always be curvy and I'm perfectly fine with that. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that it's been fun reading about all your new makes and old finds! Thank you so much for sharing.

I'm totally with you on the priorities-I'd buy the new machine over surgery any day of the week. I have lived with my jelly roll this long, I figure I will be okay holding on to it. That's why I sew, after all, so I don't have to squeeze it into uncomfortable clothes, right? I just adore Tina Fey for so many things, but especially that sketch, she really made it clear what it takes to wear some of those clothes.

He went from nearly 400 lbs to 190 lbs and lost nearly all his medications by age 40. He still has some issues, such as back and joint issues from the heavier days. It's a difficult road no matter what. I am glad you could accomplish this without surgery.
