Woo Hoo, I just have to brag somewhere.

Ok, Ok, I'm so excited. I've been stalled just 5 lbs away from wonderland for over a month. I have stopped beating myself up and have just been enjoying continuing with what I'm supposed to be doing. So...................today I go shopping for pants, since all I have been wearing is capri's and it's starting to get a little cooler. I thought I was going to try and squeeze into a size 18 and pray I could get them buttoned but as it turned out, I didn't have to even squeeze into a size 16. I could have almost turned a cartwheel in the store. Woo Hoo, go me. It is so exciting to have a place to come and cheer. Most people just can't seem to understand the victory.

I'm so jealous! haha... I know the feeling though... When I first started this journey I was squeeeeeezing into my 24s. Then a few weeks ago I noticed that m 24s were getting a little big... so I thought :Hmm... wonder if I can fit into a 22 yet?" Once I tried them on I'm comfortably in a 20! Love that! Can't wait til my pant size begins with a 1! My shirts are a 14/16 now too... losing weight is fun :-)

Congrats!

Congratulations Trish, that's so exciting and what a wonderful achievement!

Thank you guys. I started off in a tight 24. I'm only 5' 1", and weighed 263. My surgery date was feb 23 and I'm down 58 lbs. It felt at the time like I would never see this victory and you all know what a struggle it can seel like at times.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work. I have just been banded on the 12th of September and have lost 7 pounds this past week and hope it keeps going well for me.

Congrats Trish!! Your doing great!

Your doing great! Congratulating!

Congratulations!

wow--I bet that feels so awesome!!!

I can't imagine! I haven't shopped for clothes in so long, and I've always HATED shopping. Your story is so inspiring, LOVE it! I'm doing a cartwheel right beside you, LOL

Congrats! I know the feeling! I started at 20 now in 10's, trying to get to 8. I'm amazed everytime I go into a store with friends now I no longer are just accesory shopping! Its a great feeling!

Yaaaaay!!! Congratulations!! :)

Hurray for all us losers!!!! NSV's are the BEST! Karen

I totally understand your excitment. Fitting into smaller clothes is just the best. I think it's as good as, if not better, than seeing the scale move. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on being in ONDERLAND! I am so close.....almost there. Havn't been there in over 10 years. Also just made it to a size 16. It feels good doesn't it? Keep up the success. Hope to see you soon in a size 12. CAT
