You need to hike that skirt up and show more of dem legs !!!!!!!!!
Well done. Getting new clothes is something that I've never been enthused about. I'm finding that is changing, though, as I'm leaning down.
Some Western boots are in the future. By the time they fit me, though, it'll be Summatime. That's alright.....I'll be pimp walking around the swimming pool......wearing a bathing suit and those new boots and singing cowboy songs.
Now show off those legs, young lady !!!!
Bam !!!!!
Congrats. You look great.
That had to feel good to slip 'em on and look up in the mirror and see that. Very cool !!!!!!
That is neat.
Recently went to my favorite Mexican restaurant with some buddies. We sat in the outdoor section. I never sit there due to the cramped evil armchairs.
I proceed with a bit nervousness.....I even veered off course on our way to be seated. I went to the bathroom and just stood there washing my hands and looking into the mirror.....wondering how to play it......what if I can't fit ????
Walked out and stopped at the bar and talked to the hot bartender a minute or two.....declined when she offered my usual, a 36 oz ice cold Dos Equis Ambar draft....just waved it off....we chatted a minute and then I finally faced up to the challenge.....and went to the crowded outdoor section and found my pards. There was one empty evil armchair sitting there waiting on me. I swear I got a lump in my throat.
I sat down like I owned that damn chair. Room to spare.
Hell yes !!!!!
Fun and general chaos ensued that afternoon........

I hadn't seen a friend in person ( we communicate via social media) in at least 8 years. And as she could not stop telling me how "tiny" I am. It made my night!
I wore leggings outside for the first time and wasn't stared at! Yaaaay!

Apparently... I can comfortably fit size 14 skinny jeans. This is definitely a HUGE win for me. I just can't believe it. I'm am beyond thrilled.

Small success: I bought a hoodie and coat from Express. I've NEVER been able to shop there. So this is definitely a victory!

I am 3.5 months post op. I started the Pre-Op Diet on August 16th, Sleeved on August 26th. Today is 4 months since I was 380lbs. In that 4 months I have lost 95 pounds, about 8 inches off my waist, and gone from a 5xl shirt, to 2-3xl. I could barely walk 2 miles over the course of a day. If I was on my feet too long, I had to sit and elevate them. Now, I run 6mph for 20 minutes on an Elliptical, then 30-35 minutes of Weight Lifting, and that happens before 6am. I am still good to go the rest of the day. Might not look like it yet, but I FEEL like a million bucks!

145 lbs!! My 1 year surgiversary is 12/29!! This was one of the best decisions I ever made!! So proud of all of us who decided to take control of our lives, our weight and our health!!

The spreadsheet has been updated. Please let me know if I made a mistake or missed your weigh in!
We had a blast at Disney! It was so beautiful and decorated for Christmas! It even snowed in the Magic Kingdom while we were there.
Also, if you have a food allergy, I would highly recommend adding Disney for a vacation spot. My husband has Celiac disease, and they catered to him and he ate like a king all week (and didn't get sick!). We would go back just for that!
I'm still looking for someone to take over the challenges when this one is over. Here's why

Got my 212 back!

This week I'm at 213. Such crazy fluctuations. Ugh!! But at least I'm losing... again. ????

I just had to give myself a little pat on the back today. 200 days of logging into MFP in a row. ???? I am so grateful I did this surgery, but the logging on MFP is more about accountability on my part and reminds me that it is up to me to make this a success.

242 today, and officially 100 lbs gone forever!!!! Yayyy!!!!
