Haha my husband said the same thing. He's like isn't that the dress everyone was debating about?! Lol guess it's still popular I also feel like an imposter in the standard size stores also. I still feel like people will stare at me and be like whys this girl shopping here? I also have a hard time dressing myself because I really started packing the pounds on at 27 transitioning into wife and mom phase, so now at almost 33 I know that I shouldn't be looking at the junior section even though I think some things are cute but in my head I'm like am I too old for this look? lol

A dress I was able to find in their clearance section in a size 12! I was so excited!! Shopping has been so awkward actually looking in the "standard size" sections and grabbing a size too big instead of too small. It's taking my brain some time to adjust to look for a large or even a medium sometimes instead of 2XL.

I was a 40ddd now I'm a 36ddd 4 months out. I definitely want a reduction and lift!

Uh yea! You look great! I see a huge change! Keep it up! I keep body measurement also, it helps when you don't see the pounds coming off but the inches coming off! I've been terrible myself about working out. I think I'm finally comfortable getting a gym membership now.

One of the main reasons I had the surgery was when my 5 year old daughter asked me innocently why Her and her sisters and my husband's bodies were "straight" and mine was "bumpy". That was my confirmation that I needed to commit to this surgery.

Feeling better makes it all worth it! I am being patient. I know I have a long way up hill right now. I'm surprisingly patient. lol. I'm trying to convince my sister to do this with me but I think she doesn't think she will lose much. I hope she changes her mind. It would be nice to have someone close to go thru this with. That's what this site is great for! Patience is key! I wanted to give up a few times, I felt like I had so many medical clearance requirements and having a full time job, 3 kids 5 and under seemed impossible but I pushed through it. I finally did something for myself and you can do it! Don't get discouraged by the numbers! Feeling better makes it all worth it! I am being patient. I know I have a long way up hill right now.

I probably had a 50 inch waist before I actually started measuring! But it's okay. What seemed so far away prepping for 7 months before surgery numerous doctors appointments, losing my old job because if it was all worth it for me! I have never felt better!

I can't believe I've lost a total of 39 inches in 4 months and I started measuring after I lost 20lbs!

Thank you ladies! You are all awesome! I'm having a good week! Down to 195! Closer to goal everyday!

That's awesome Marie! I also want to take advantage of the honeymoon period. I know the next 2 months I can lose another 20 lbs before it really starts slowing down and I would be okay with that!

Thanks for the motivation! I'm excited to be on this journey with such inspiring people!

I have one coworker who just stares me up in down when I'm in front of her. She can't seem to help but look at me. It does make me uncomfortable but she's overweight also and I think she was just more comfortable around me when I was heavier.

Jealousy issues?
