Is this size for real?

I cannot believe my size is now a medium after being 3x and 4x for so long. And the medium shirts fit very well. :) I also went from size 48 pant size to Levi 32. Yet I do not feel small. It is strange in a way. I am 5 ' 11 " and currently 177. I was 360 around my surgery on July 2nd 2012. Daily cross fit has given me a good build.

Congratulations on all of your hard work and wishing you continued success on living such a healthy lifestyle and providing all of us with such support and inspiration.

Congrats on your achievement. You did well. Isn't it exciting for you to buy clothes that u thought would never fit you. I love to shop for clothes. Maybe in a year from now I will skirting a size 6....my surgery is nov 13...I have 70 pounds to lose.
