(I'VE ADDED PHOTOS IN A LATER POST....scroll down)

Ok old timer pro sleevers or anyone else, really... did this ever happen to you?? I've lost 70 pounds, I've gone from a 30 to an 18/20 (tight, but i got them ON! ), I now fit in bathrooms stalls, airplane bathrooms, airplane seat belts, chairs at places I avoided because of...small chairs, I can reach my feet, feel my hip bones and rib bones, see my chin, cross my legs, reach stuff on the floor from a sitting position, walk up the stairs without getting winded, workout for an hour like it's nothing, get up from the floor without the aid of chairs or 8 strong sailors and a winch--and a plethora of other NSVs... BUT--(we all have a big BUT, don't we??)

I CAN'T SEE IT IN THE MIRROR!!!! I see the same 349 lbs staring back at me. WHY oh WHY is my brain doing this to me??? Is this a normal part of the process?? Will it get better? I don't even think my before and after pics look drastically different. That has to be some sort of sickness.... lol

You look great! I feel the same way. I just don't feel 50lbs lighter. I think for me, part of it is because I have never lost this amount of weight in such a short amount of time.

Dooter .... Yea!!!! Great job.. you look fantastic ... I can't wait!

OK PEEPS- I stopped at AVENUE and tried on some clothes to see where I am. I am fitting into 18/20 in the second pic here. The straight 18s aren't quite fitting yet. NOW I can see it in the mirror....

Girl you are looking good. The size you are now is where I would love to be and STAY! But if I get a little smaller than you, I will still be great. I don't want to get smaller than a size 16. I want to keep my curves...but just tone them and make them more defined and beautiful.
