For my birthday at the beginning of the month my mom who everyone by now knows is 2 years post bought me cloths 2 things for every size going down. I was a 28-30 pre surgery and still wearing everything. And she started at size 24 at first I was discouraged... Like really? Jeans that don't give? Ugh..... I pulled them up and OMG they fit. I haven't been this size in who knows when. I don't even remember! I feel like a million bucks right now in jeans. Still have a long way but this is my moment.

Sorry had to share! I just called my mom lol HAPPY FRIDAY!

Congratulations Jenn!!! It's those kind of moments that keep us motivated! I had a similar moment this weekend. After my surgery, mom mom had bought me some clothes to "shrink in to". Pre-op, I was a size 28-30 also. My mom had bought me this really pretty pink frilly dress in size 26. I was trying on some of the clothes she bought me just for fun. The dress fit!! I wore it to church yesterday and she called me before church. I told her that I was wearing it and she started crying! Weight has just been such a struggle my entire life! It's such a relief to know that if I follow the Dr's orders, I can finally have victory over this issue!

That's true we have to set our mind to our new life change.

Awww thanks for sharing we have such similar stories. That little milestone was amazing and unbelieving because just like you I put them in just to see and they fit! I kept looking at the tag like really? Following the rules and doing all I can to stay focused pays off. Looking forward to shrinking down to a smaller jean size

I know how you feel went out and had to buy new pants for work.

My wife bought me a new leather jacket 2 sizes to small now I got something to shot for and at this pace will be warning it by November, and it didn't come from the

casual whale shop I now hate that store.

Let's keep the good feeling going

I did also. I got a size 10 pants waiting for me to fit into it & size 7 but I dont think I will get that small since I only need 14 more pounds.

I love the feeling of fitting into clothes!!!

I was my highest in a size 22 in April, and am down a full 25 since surgery 4.5 weeks ago - total of 53 pounds!

I *just* went through my closet and drawers this weekend because I realized my jeans were getting big... for shits and giggles I took out a pair of my 18's to try on and maybe hang up as "Motivater" clothes - and they FIT!

I then proceeded to go through my entire wardrobe - most of which I have not worn in over 2 years - AND ALMOST EVERYTHING FITS!! I can't even talk about how exciting it is to have a choice in what I wear again - not just "this is what fits". =D

I know the feeling. I had to do the opposite my closet is basically empty. Nada fit so I donated them. I got second hand but good clothes.
