Online Shopping

I hate the mall and only go there out of complete desperation. I love online shopping. And I'm always so excited when boxes arrive at my house. I don't get new clothes very often, but since I'm losing weight I had to buy a few new clothes to wear to work. So today was a bonus day, my pants I wore today were practically falling off and when I got home a couple new shirts had arrived! Woo!

Anyone else a big online shopper?

1. Me, me, me...

I loath shopping, especially the mall. I'd rather clean up the backyard (after the dogs) than go shopping. Anything I can buy online, I do. If I find a brand I like or an online store I stick with it.

Congrats on the weight loss!

2. 15 lbs down so far

And I can't wear any of my work pants anymore. Woo.

If you like NY & Co, they have their pants on sale, buy one get one free right now. I'm not sure what size I am, so I just bought two sizes down from what I'm wearing right now. If they're tight, it's more incentive to lose more. :)

The only stores I don't mind is the grocery, Target and bookstores.

3. That's great!

I never measure weight loss using a scale. I always go by the way clothes fit. Sometimes the scale can be depressing, but it's always positive when clothes get bigger on you.

The grocery store is a necessity, there are a few that do online/delivery but I like to look when I do my grocery shopping. But I'm with you on bookstores, I could spend an entire day in them. Especially used bookstores, the treasures you can find. :-)

I had to stop using the treadmill for a while but I'm hoping to get back to it when the weather gets cooler, maybe by Christmas I will have lost a few more pounds.

4. I just bought a scale

I was never a scale person, but I'm doing something a friend did and she said "weigh yourself every morning after you pee." So I do what she says.

I have an elliptical that I really like, I bought it off some friends.

6. Oh, that sucks.

Oh and I forgot the one other store I will willingly go to at almost any time...the Home Depot.

I also buy shoes online. Sucked when I realized that my foot has grown from a 7 to 7.5. lol

7. I shop online mostly for certain kinds of items

such as those made from hemp. There aren't too many stores anywhere that stock the hemp items like belts and shoes, so I have to go online. In fact, I need to get me another belt soon, as well as a pair of house slippers :D
