Finally after being in Dominican Republic since July 27, 2011 I am in my own bed, back in the states with a few great improvements! I am sleeved, and I went from 368 to 270 lbs! Awesome things have happened since my last day in the airport;

1- My jeans went from not fitting at all (wouldn't go past my hips), to falling off when I walked. My grandmother had to take them in because they were falling!

2- All my shorts look like skirts from the back because they are so big on me, I went from 28-30 to 22-24; and my tops went from 4x to 1x.

3- I can weigh myself on a regular bathroom scale.

4- I don't have to walk sideways in the airplane aisle.

5- For the first time in years I didn't need a seat belt extension in the airplane.

6- The food tray went all the way down, my belly was not in the way.

7- I have never seen my mom smile so much after one of my arrivals ( I usually came back bigger not smaller).

So many victories and so many more to come! I love this sleeve, it is one of the best things to ever happen to me.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE!

Congrats Paola!,So glad you are healing so well and progressing so fast!!!

That is amazing! Congratulations on all your success!!

Some great scale and non-scale victories in that post!! I know you're feeling and looking so much better!! I'm happy to hear that you're rocking your sleeve, but I knew you would! You go girl!!!

Awesome job!! Welcome home!!!!

I know the NSV's of the airplane. It is a good feeling to be on a smaller commercial flight and not feel obliged and to discretely tell a stewardess that I will not be offended if they want to set me next to a child or really petite person.

Your Mom must have been so proud. Try and remember how she looked when she saw you, and do everything you can to take pictures with her as you continue to loose.

Good luck.

Congratulations! I can feel the joy when reading your words. These things mean so much to us but are taken for granted by others. Keep up the good work!

Congrats sweetie! I'm so happy for you!
