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!

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.

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!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
