So I am at a plateau, now adding in more exercise (joined the YMCA yesterday and burned 699 calories yesterday alone!!) and trying to eat less at each meal and stay below 1200 calories....the scale isn't moving much these days, but I have new reasons to celebrate.....

Last week I had to go get new bras....the old ones were super loose in the cups....so loose that I had to cut off the excess material!!!

But today was the REAL NSV!!!!!

I measured myself...something I haven't done since surgery day...

I lost

3 inches in the waist

3 inches in the bust

4 inches in the hips

nothing in thigh....might have to re-measure that one!

1 inch in the upper arm!!

Went from a size 42DD bra to a 40C...first time in over 10 years and 3 kids that I've been a C!!

I've gotten rid of my size 20-22 clothes, now working on getting through the 18's....

went to a wedding last night and wore a size 16 dress without busting out of it!!!! It fit great and felt even better!!! I even danced in HEELS!!! I'm not a dancer by an means, but danced longer than I ever would have even thought of pre-banding!!

Woot woot!! If I can figure out how to add pics before and now I will do so.

Just added an "after" picture...I forgot that I had already uploaded the 2 pics I took the day before surgery...

That is great! Congrats on the success. I get banded in Nov and this post alone has added to my excitement.I cant wait to have this feeling! Keep up the good work!!

Yay, that's great. Keep up your fantastic work.
