congratulations. I feel the same way. 2013 is going to be our year.

Tears rolled down my cheeks in the dressing room when I went shopping today (fist time since surgery on 10/25). After having to try on a few medium shirts because the larges were too big and having to go back for size 12 jeans because I was swimming in the 14s, I couldn't em back. The first time I thought was maybe a fluke but after buying 3 medium shirts (some larges as well) and 3 size 12 jeans I had to just soak it in and realize that I haven't been this size since jr high. In just 9 weeks I've went from 18/20 and xl/xxl shirts to 12/14 and m/l shirts. It's so strange shopping in a store and having to skip the plus sizes and know that you don't have to try to squeeze into their biggest size and are able to shop the "normal" racks. Bring on 2013, I'm ready for my life back!

Best of luck on your journey. My best advice is to recognize that this is a journey and you need to follow the program directives. It is not easy, but it is very achievable. I had my surgery on 11/26 and have not really had any problems. I am down 18.6 pounds. Yeah!

Way to go. Age is relative. Having self esteem and getting healthy is good for all ages.

Great job
