Halloween costume thoughts!

Konnor is going to be the black BATMAN!
 Riley is going to be SPIDERMAN!

 LANCELOT'S LOVE



A GYPSY!

CAPTAIN BEAUTY!

50'S BEAUTY!
So the debate for me is that I want a cool costume but I also don't want to look like a tramp. I know a lot of people take the Halloween night as a chance to look trampy, on purpose. Koodos to those but I am more modest. But, I did not dress up the first 3 halloweens w/ my boys b/c I thought I was too fat to find a costume. Then last year I just "sort of" dressed up as a creepy vampire in this black cloke-like dress w/ fangs and stuff. Easy. This year I wanted to have more fun with it. If I keep up w/ my weight goals I should be around 227 by halloween night.
But also I want it to be figure flattering for my "plus size" body and not make me look like I'm wearing a moo moo. So the above ideas I love them all!
I'd like something fun and kinda sexy but I'm also modest so the mid-thigh ones are questionable. I love the gypsy one too b/c I feel like I"m a gypsy at heart!!!
Hey ladies, vote for me! Everybody comment and let me know what you think will be figure flattering, fun, and cool for someone who is 24 but a mom too!!!
xoxo,
Liz

    OOOOHHH I love Halloween costumes! Since your boys are Batman & Robin, could you do Batwoman? You wouldn't have to do the skintight suit, maybe just some kind of all black something with the Batwoman mask.

    Otherwise, out of these I like the pirate, "Captain Beauty" - First, little boys love pirates so they will get a kick out of it, and it is not too trampy, and is flattering looking. Have fun!

    Hmmm... Now you got me thinkin' about Halloween...

    A few years back, I was VERY happy with the Lancelot style costume I wore. It was very flattering.

    But the Pirate does look fun and I would probably pick that one because, I agree, the boys would probably like it best.

    BUT... You very well may have the legs to carry off the Gypsy! By your pics, it looks like you could. But I'd be wary of the skirt. Sometimes short ones can fan out too much (especially in the back!) if you've got some junk in the trunk, ya know...

    Let us know what you pick!

    Go try some on if you get time. Most costume places are cool about it.

    Gen- I haven't found any bat woman that isn't too tight. I do like the idea of the pirate one too!

    aimmeJo- I love halloween. Lancelot style is super cute and I like those "times". I don't know about the legs and the gypsy. My spanx come to my midcalf so I'd have to buy one that comes to mid-thigh, which I'm cool w/ doing that I need them for my new dress. But the fanning at the butt, that is very likely I always have that problem. I don't know where I could try them on. I was looking online, we have a discount party close by but i've never seen a "dressing room" there. I always assumed you just got what you bought. I'll have to check into that b/c things always seem different "on" when your body is going through so many changes.

    thanks for the tip!!!

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
