...maybe it's Maybelline.

I got stung by a wasp last Thursday on one of my toes. It's still a little swollen, and the combination of ow, swelling, and did I mention ow? has kept me from running over the past few days. Today I biked around a lot (doable in sandals that don't rub my toe) which made me feel a lot better. I've found I kind of like running, and I miss it when I can't do it.

My running group's starting up again at the end of August, and I'm looking forward to getting back with them.

I'm 5'7", 155 pounds, and usually a size 12, sometimes a 10, sometimes a 14.

See, this is why I don't get sizing, because I weigh much more than that (how much more I find out tomorrow) and yet the sizing is about the same.

I'm 5'7", currently around 218 lbs., and wear a size 18. When I was 155, I wore a size 10. I'd like to get back down into the 12 to 14 range...but, see above. No pressure on myself this time around.

Yeah, What Megan Said. I'm about 20-30 lbs heavier than that, but the same size (minus an inch or so of height). Maybe I have lead-lined bones.

Hola, Bitches.

I'm feeling a little glum today. The empty apartment has finally gotten to me, combined with the dread of what the next month or two will bring. I have work in a few hours, so I'll just concentrate on that for a while.

I have a wide as hell frame, I know that. My hip measurement isn't ever going to go under 40 inches, and my shoulders are wicked broad.

BRACKET HUGS TO YOU.

I think I am a size 12. Could be less if I could be more active, but size 2's are little tiny elf-people.I could never be that. But of course, I still have BIDs from people starting conversations with "Hi...what's wrong with you?" my whole life. Deena, thanks and don't worry about it. I had a lot of computer weirdness this summer, as you know.

Poking my head in briefly because I hate to infect anyone with my particular brand of snarly doom and gloom, but WRT the size thing, I'm just over 5'2" and right now, I'm at 160 and wearing a size 6 or 8, depending on the cut of the clothes. Fifteen pounds less, where I'm far more comfortable, I wear a size 4 pretty easily. I'm like juliana in that I have a wide as hell frame, with big hips and wide linebacker shoulders.

When I weighed 250, I wore a size 24. I'm not one of those people who's meant to carry that much weight. Probably a big reason why, when I decided I needed to lose the weight, a great deal of it came off fairly easy.

The fifteen pounds I've put on in the last year are a lot harder to lose than the first fifteen from when I weighed 250.
