73 lbs down!! My husband and I went out last week with a few other couples and I have always been so self concious. I've always been the "fat" wife out of all the wives and girlfriends of our friends and hated going places. For the 1st time I haven't felt like the fat girl at the party. I didn't feel uncomfortable or out if place, not that our friends ever made me feel that way. They never have in any way and are fantastic but you have to be happy with yourself first. I have a little ways to go but I do believe this was the best decision for me!!

Good for you SummerMarie! I hope that you continue to feel this way about yourself and best wishes for a successful journey!

Oh man, I can totally relate to being the fat one. Most of my friends are vegan, super outdoorsy, and pretty much ripped. I am so looking forward to being able to sit outside on the deck with them this summer and not feel out of place. Thanks for posting!

I can relate too! My best feeling is when I walk past a window and now see a reflection of someone who is a bit overweight but certainly not obese!!

That's awesome! Congrats!

Awesome

Thank you everyone!!!!
