Awesome! Good for you and I'm sure you will look stunning on your wedding day!

Some recent NSV's:
1. I fit in an airplane seat without my butt squishing onto the next seat. lol
2. I put on a pair of size 16 jeans and they fit!! (I started at 24)
3. My boss and co-worker keep telling me how jealous they are of my hourglass figure and how they wish they had a tiny waist like mine.

I bought some new pyjamas for my seven year old, and when we got home the clothing size and the size on the pack were different, and were far too big for my 7 year old! I was a bit miffed as I lost the receipt, so couldnt change them.
Joking with my daughter I tried them on for a giggle and THEY FIT!!!!!!
They are size 13-14 years!! Ha ha, I am typing this in my new rather mini, minnie mouse pyjamas - Yay! I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!

Omg!!! I don't know why I'm sooo excited. But I am trying on some old pants and most are still struggling over my tush... But I put on a buttom up shirt and I don't have that dreadful gap around buttom 2!! Whoop hoo!!! *does a happy dance*

Probably a little weird NSV, but I get such satisfaction over being able to take one hand and in a claw like manner hold my other wrist touching with my thumb and middle finger with a little room to spare. I also like touching my collar bone being able to feel bone. No, I'm not anything close to underweight, it's just that it was covered up by so much fat before, it's nice to see the new "me" emerging.
Something fun is I'm taking a day trip tomorrow and have realized that the jean pile I went through over Christmas to change out the original fat jeans to the not so fat jeans, that now some of those are too baggy. I don't like tight jeans, but hate baggy jeans. So, I now have a new pile of jeans that don't fit. I'm wearing a pretty solid size 10 now which is awesome! I still have my brand new size 6 and 4/5 jeans from my last journey nearly 14 yrs ago that I fell short by 20 or 30#. I'm happy with my progress, but will be doing the HUGE happy dance if I'm able to fit into those babies!
Oh, and one more since you guys brought up grocery store stuff. I was at Walmart last week getting a few things. I was in the soda row trying to get some liters of Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry which was on the top shelf and all the ones at the front were gone. I couldn't reach the ones in back and some guy noticed I was struggling and he says, "here, let me throw you up there to reach those". I about did a double take to see who he was talking to. "THROW me up there?" I couldn't look that thin, not yet for someone to even suggest that. Talk about make my day!! :Banane55:

OMG!!! Just got 20 pounds closer to goal!!! Saw my surgeon today and finally remembered to ask him about a goal weight. His answer is 190, my number is 170. He says I'll be too thin at 170 since I'm 5 feet 8. So, I am officially halfway to goal!!!

That's fantastic! You know you really are making some great progress when you look like a new person! You look wonderful! Congratulations!

Today I finally weighed in at 199! I am so flipping ecstatic, I can hardly contain myself. I had surgery on 8/15/11 and I think I have been losing slowly or slower than I want too but my results are inching along. I make sure to take my measurements monthly and that helps with the slower weigh in numbers because I see results monthly in my measurements.
My goal was to be under 200 on my 37th birthday on 12/17/11 so I am happy that I met that goal early. My next goal is to be 189 by 1/4/12. My husband should be home from Afghanistan around 1/5 and I think that will be an awesome surprise for him! We have skyped but I sit at the computer so he doesn't see the whole me. I really want him to be surprised when he gets home. I can't wait!
I really try to stay on program and get in all of my Protein. I am supposed to get in 65 grams a day and most days I make that goal and if not I always get at least 50 grams. For my last labs my only Vitamin low was Vitamin A so I added that to my Vitamins this month. I feel great and am not tired at all. I do exercise at least three times a week. Twice a week I workout at the gym for 50-55 minutes while my kids are in Tai Kwon Do class and usually do cardio, elliptical or treadmill. Then on the third day I do a lunch hour class at work that rotates weekly between hustle dances and kickboxing. When my husband comes home I hope I can up my exercise to 5 days a week but for now I do what I can.
I am so happy that I am finally out of the 200's. I can't really remember the last time I have been in the 100's. I love my sleeve!
