I'm down roughly 25 lbs since I was banded in June. Prior to that I had lost 30 lbs on my own. I started in a size 26 on the bottom and a 24 on the top. Today I went to Lane Bryant and bammmm....I'm 18/20 on the top and 22 on the bottom! I've been discouraged that I haven't been losing fast enough but now I feel like it is paying off in a non scale way. Thank you for all your support.:faint:

Awesome Julie!!! Just think.... a few more sizes and you won't need Lane Bryant anymore! I am looking forward to that day myself!

I just looked at your ticker... we started at almost exactly the same weight!

Congratulations! NSV's are the best because they usually show up just when you least expect them. I had one myself today. I went to pick up my wife for lunch and I noticed as I was walking up to the door that she was standing there looking at me. When I walked in she told me I looked like I lost a lot more than ten pounds and was beaming. I felt like a million dollars.

that is wonderful! congrats!!!

:clap2: :clap2:

Wow, I guess we have to realize that the scale isn't everything. I get depressed at my slow loss sometimes, but I too have seen changes in my clothing sizes and that is BIG! Congratulations and keep on going.

Congrats on the smaller sizes! That's awesome!
