Your pants fall down walking into the local YMCA.

Can were knee high boots now because calves are skinny!

Your 17 year old son can pick you up and carry you!

You put clothes in the dryer hoping they shrink instead of hanging them up wet so the don't

Boobs look bigger now that stomach is smaller!

When you have to look in your 11 year old daughters closet for clothes!

I was out jogging with my son and we stopped to see a snow fort that a guy was making. When he saw us he said, "Someone is staying fit." instead of, "Someone is getting fit." It's the little things!

When you can cross your legs without struggling

You slip on your winter coat from last year and you can lap it over in front! Yay!!

That's classic!!!! Too funny!!

When your ex best friend who you've known for your entire life, sees you after a year and asked you if you are related to YOURSELF! That happened today. I only burst out laughing and told her it was me and I had lost weight.

This thread is actually making me tear up. We all have so much to celebrate!

...when you need to buy new underwear because you Boxer Briefs have become loose Boxers

When people say, You're pretty, instead of, Your Face is pretty.

Sorry about the multiple

Hello fellow sleeves
This is my road that I traveled, my trip started in 2013. My sugar went out of control, my BP was uncontrolled on 5 medication. My port on my lapband was starting to bother me( yes lapband that I was never able to use due to the fact that it rubbed my outer stomach raw. I had come to the end of my road. Started on my trip I did all of required testing, than the insurance denied me for surgery. My doctor was very upset due to the fact that I was really hitting rock bottom. He called and spoke with the insurance and they approved my surgery. My date was schedule for August 20,2013. I was so excited. I was schedule for 3 pm my surgery went well and I was in my room by 8 pm after the recovery room. I was walking that night due to anesthesia rolling in my back. The surgery consisted of removing the lap band and port and having a sleeve done. First week home I rested. I was unable to keep down food with artificial sugar. So Protein in my diet came from meat and food. My first trip to the ER was 3 months later due to dehydration, than I had 2 more trips between November and March. I was still struggling with artificial sugar. In May my gall bladder had to come out. This was about the time I started feeling good. A set back not to bad. On my 2 week check up I had another gall bladder attack. Come to find out there was stones that was left and had to be removed. I was still not able to slow down. But after the last gall bladder attack I was willing to stop and sit. So I was finally on my way to recovery. I went from 285lbs pre surgery to my current weight of 135lbs. I wanted to stay at 160lbs but my body new best. So after my gall bladder was removed and the stones removed I was at 135lbs and over a year since that I am still at 135lbs. My health is great. My sugar is gone , my BP is under controlled with no meds. My eating is healthy and I am not eating to feel full. I am eating to be healthy. I am at 21/2 years out and I am loving the new me

One thing that struck me this year as I thought abut resolutions was for the first time in over ten years my resolutions did not focus on weight loss or anything to do with my body- it made me laugh with happiness when I realized that I am happy at my weight and fitness levels and while there is always some room for improvement- I feel 100% happy with my weight and body! It is such a freeing feeling.
That being said my resolutions are to finish writing my novel and to try cave spelunking!!
Happy New Years everyone!!

i would like to go back to Hawaii. And see the SF Giants play Chicago at Wrigley field. Big question mark on further body contouring, but Botox is coming my way.

My goal for 2016 is to reduce my body fat percent, get my boob fixed, and find a boyfriend - bet that is a unique combo!

My resolutions are:
Lose 100 pounds by the end of 2016 Become more active (hiking, swimming, walking, jogging, etc.) Work on becoming closer to God Work to become the best ME I can be

Get to goal weight (Hopefully by April) then maintain. Increase my activity, exercising at least 5 times each week.
