For now I'll settle for torrid's 'retro chic' section ;)

What is your current style? Who are your fashion icons? Does your weight keep you from dressing the way you would prefer? Do you have a dream outfit you'd just love to wear if only you were thinner?

Don't get me wrong, I wear things that I like, but I don't love them. The things I love things like these dresses, from www.modcloth.com, are hopefully in my near future!

I think this one is my favorite:

I think my emerging shape would fill this out nicely ;)


I half wonder if Rachel from Glee gets her clothes from www.modcloth.com ...?

...and here is something a little different and flowy.

This is just me dreaming about the day I can wear the things I love. What about you?

Oh...and one last thing...wow:

    I love retro clothes too! I don't know exactly what style I fit into but I like put together looks. I hate frumpy clothes.

    Modcloth.com has amazing clothes! Christina Hendricks looks amazing in that picture.

    I have my old 80s Night corset in a very safe place, waiting for the day that it fits again :)

    Awesome dresses! I am still trying to find my style. I used to wear very boring clothes (but great makeup!). Now, I am having a great time trying on all kinds of clothes that I never would have considered before.

    I love each one of those dresses. I would dress that way if I could. Right now, I am buried in frumpy, unflattering clothes. I need a makeover! But won't allow myself one until I am making real progress on the weight loss.

    I've always been into the goth/emo/hottopic look since long before we had any of those stores even in the are. I remember driving over an hour to get there (or rather having my Mum drive me, lol, man I feel old now). I can't wait to comfortably fit into those clothes again. I have to shop on hottopic.com because they don't carry the 2x/3x in store (or if they do they sell out super fast. I used to shop at Torrid when we had one at Robinson but I heard it's gone now and they don't sell too much dark stuff anymore.

Cookbook giveaway! (Appetite for Reduction) Enter now!

This contest is for U.S residents only: Okay, so I have a few ideas for some giveaways that I'm planning on doing over the next few months. This is the first one, the next one I'll do once I hit 100 followers cuz it's a bigger prize and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to enter and spread the word. Contest Deadline: Starts now (April 12th) Ends before midnight (eastern time) April 22nd 2011 For now, I will be giving away a copy of my favorite cookbook, Appetite for Reduction , by Isa Chandra Moskowitz  << Her website. The Prize: This book is amazing, a lot of non-vegans think that vegan cookbooks are all full of strange ingredients that are only available at health food stores, but that isn't the case with this book. It has simple recipes made with easy to find and prepare ingredients and nearly everything in the book is between 200-400 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size. I've made many fabulous dishes from this b

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious.  He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.)  Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone.  Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways.  I think it can help a lot of peop

"Nothing to say but Mmmmm" vegan alfredo

~*~*~This recipe is gluten free and vegan~*~*~ As are all my recipes Serves two. UPDATE: 3/17/2011 I have de-spiced this a bit and gave directions for a smaller serving of sauce. It seems I like my food spicier than most! ;) I've tried many vegan alfredo recipes I found online or in cookbooks and I never made one that i liked so much i made it twice. Always looking for something better. Tonight I messed around and created my own. My bf took one bite and he made.... The "O" face. Ha! He named this recipe when he said, "Nothing to say but Mmmm...". EDITED TO ADD: You will have LOTS of sauce left over, you can easily cut the sauce ingredients in half. Oops. What you need:  Here it is, excuse my horrible handwriting. I tried. ;) Here is a pic of stuff I used: Directions: I made the alfredo sauce while the gluten free (bionatura is my fave brand), pasta cooked.   I put 1 pack of mori nu lite silken tofu into the ninja ( my food processor above ), and
