In junior high. Maybe even younger. I can remember BARELY fitting into clothes in regular stores when I was 12. I shopped at Sears in the Pretty Plus section, if anyone remembers that. I remember it as a nightmare more than anything else.

I am not done yet. This is uncharted territory for me. Its weird, but really good.

Congrats everyone!

No matter how lavish the ceremony, all of the men will be focused on your boobs.

Sorry :)

At that age my boobs were worth the focus :wink2:

Last time I was this size, I was 18. I got married 2 weeks before my 18th birthday in a size 9/10 wedding dress. But...the strange thing is...I weighed 127 at that time, now I weigh 177! How is this even possible? I swear that clothing sizes have gotten much bigger over the years or something!:wink2:

I remember the Pretty Plus section at Sears. I've been up and down in weight all of my adult life. As a child I was fat. I've done so many diets I can't even begin to start and was fairly successful with many of them at getting to goal. Just couldn't stay there long. Now I'll never have to really worry about putting the weight back on...as long as I continue doing what I'm doing...which I might say is now much easier! Thank God!

I love "Say Yes"-- but as we all know ther is no accounting for taste . Sad part of that show is they have very little to offer those that are "calorically challenged"

The last time I was this size was not that long ago. But, I have been an extreme yoyo dieter for a long time. The funny thing that strikes me when I look at the scale now is the last time I was this size, I was getting pregnant, TWICE! I started both my pregnancies at 206 pounds... weird coincidence. Good thing I am on birth control now. LOL

Adagray, I too got pregnant with my one and only child when I was a few pounds less than I am now. At the time I got pregnant, I had just lost 50 lbs. However, there is no chance of that this time, trust me. I am anxious to get down to the weight I was when I did get pregnant about 15.5 yrs. ago and then some.:thumbup:

Haha! evidently it is very common to get pregnant after a huge weight loss. I got pregnant, the 1st time, after loosing 25 lbs. I was really looking good,at 118, then got prego, but stayed about 125 for 5 years until 2nd pregnancy. The the yoyo dieting started.:)

Agreed! I was told I'd never have kids! Then at 27, I got divorce, lost 90 lbs, met a great guy (who I am now married to) and was preggers by 30! THAT is when smoking was stopped, food was replacing cigs and another pregnancy on top of baby weight I didn't lose from #1 wreaked havoc.

All I can say is that I am 1 lbs less from what I was when I got preggers with my first child (was 165), and I'm going for 15 more (maybe 20 LOL).

I LOVE my band!!!!!:thumbup:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
