Congratulations Sugarmamma7!!!!! For me everything became more real when I got to onederland. It seems there are move NSVs, it's more noticeable... I don't know! Maybe it's psychological, believing that, yes, I'm doing this. No matter. Congratulations to you and enjoy the new you!!!!

That's awesome Candace! I had a similar experience last weekend shopping for some tops. I kept grabbing the XL thinking this is small enough, I'll save it till I loose more. Usually I've been a 1X or 2X. But now I need a large! Sometimes medium! My husband was with me and kept shaking his head saying, that's toot big, you need the smaller one. I kept insisting and had to keep coming out of the fitting room to exchange for smaller sizes. But I would still repeat it! It's so bizzare how our brain lags behind! Or maybe it's disbelief... or left over pessmism thinking this won't happen and I need room to grow LOL.

Very moving article! I am always amazed at the human body's ability to adapt, regenerate, and heal. I hope this little girl pulls through and has a great life! She must have gone through so much! It reminds me how fortunate I am to have a chance a healthy life and not to take it for granted!!!!

Congratuations!!!! You look FANTASTIC!!!! Loved your blog!!!!

Sarah! CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look beautiful!!!! Your post was very moving and I loved the photos. You have done amazing and it shows, not just the physical but also in your smile. Best of luck on the remainder of this journey. I know will accomplish everything you set out to. Thank you for your post!

You look beautiful!!!!! and very happy! What a transformation! Congratulations on your hard work! It has paid off.

I agree with others here. Walking is the easiest and very pleasant. You can go faster when you feel strong and just take it easy if it's an off day. Also, for me, bringing music along makes it really fun. Anything with music! :-) Even just dancing at home if the weather does not allow you to be outside burns quite a bit of calories and is alot of fun, especially if you do it with kids! Glad you are enjoying your bike!!!!! Have fun!

Congratulations on all you have accomplished! I really find alot of encouragement on this board too. Lots of wonderful, generous people here willing to share their experiences. Thanks for your post!

Forensikchick!!!! You are doing GREAT!!!!!! You are really working this tool. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! For me something magical happened in onederland. Like you said, suddenly lots of nsv's. Keep up the good work!

Great outfit! You look awesome!!!!! I really like the fall too. It's my favorite season!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this!!! I've been looking for a pumpkin soup recipe with protein to try. I think the sauges will go nicely becuase the seasoning in this recipe is not the more traditional nutmeg/cinnamon, sweeter type flavors. It's worth a try anyway. I also like your substitutions. I'll be doing that too. Thanks again!

Wow, that's impressive!!!!! You are kicking butt!!!! Congratulations! Love your pic too! You look so happy.

You are beautiful pregnant mommy! I love your expression taking the picture! There's such tenderness. Congratulations Tiffykins!!!!

You look GREAT!!!! What a difference!!!

WOW! I agree with above post! You look so much younger. Both pics are beautiful, and you are looking fantastic!!! I noticed my shoes are more comfortable and, of course, walking in heels is much easier! I took for granted that, as you say, weight affects every part of our bodies, and that means our tootsies too! :-) I got this great new pair of heels to celebrate reaching onederland. I'm going to post a pic soon! Congratulations on your wonderful loss. You look awesome!!!!!

WOW! Now this is a fantastic accomplishment! Congratulations on your improved health! I know we all love looking better but this is really what it's all about! Being healthy and strong. Good job!

You guys are all too funny! I love this thread. And yes, I LOVE seeing my collar bones again and I love seeing the ribs just above/between my boobies! How weird am I? Oh wait, you're all weird too!

Hey Beautiful lady!!!! You look fantastic! You say you feel more confident and energetic. Well, it shows! You are beaming. I love the blond hair!!! It totally suits you. In the after picture you also look so much younger! Congratulations on all the hard work!!!!! Enjoy your new look. You look awesome. And thanks for posting the pics. Very inspiring!!!!!

Congratulations Lash! What an awesome accomplishment. And thank you for the great post!

Thank you Soup! Great article. I like the idea of the Beans in the pumpking soup. The apple, onion cheddar recipe also looks good. I'll stay tuned to see what else you come up with

It definitely gets better. I had quite a bit of gurgling the first few weeks, less and less as time goes on. Now at almost 4 months out, I will get some gurgling with certain foods and it's much more mild. So hang in there. It definitely gets much better. Congrats on your sleeve!!!

LOL!!! I LOVE the dancing banana!!! Thank you Irene!!!!!! You made me smile!!!!
