I am so excited about Halloween this year. I have not dressed up or attended a costume party since I was 20 years old. I have not been able to buy a costume because of my size, which none of the costume stores carried. However, thanks to my sleeve, I am down from a 34 to a size 10 and was able to go to our local Halloween store and buy a costume off the rack, in a medium! I was so excited. And last night, I went to my first Halloween party in 24 years. I had a blast and it was so much fun to participate in the costume contests, etc.

I love my sleeve and consider this a major NSV. I am living and enjoying life again. And for those of you just starting this wonderful journey, you will too! And we are all here to support you.

Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone!

What a wonderful NSV!!! Congratulations . . . I've had a wonderful journey as well. . . I've lost tons of weight, feel so much better and get A LOT of compliments from folks who haven't seen me in years! It's so great to be able to fit into small spaces, fit comfortably into a plane seat, and walk up a flight of stairs without dying! Once again, congratulations and keep up that fabulous work!!!!

wow! that's fantastic! Congratulations -- I too have not participated in Halloween in ages, but am looking forward to it next year -- Buying off the rack has to be up there in great NSVs! Congratulations!

That is a huge victory! Congrats! I hope to be posting the same thing next year!

Yahoo! Our party is tonight. Same feelings as you. Couldn't believe it when there was actually soom room in the outfit and had to tie it a little tighter.

Woohoo for all the Sexy Sleevers!!!!!

Thanks, everyone. It felt so awesome to finally be able to fit into a costume, and I had an absolute blast at the party. I think I am going to wear my costume tonight while passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters too. I want to get the most of it, lol.

Susan - So, how did the treats go? Any comments from all the single dads?

Everything went great, and I received lots of compliments. Most important one is from the wonderful man in my life whom I love so much!
