Tell me about it. I'm now in a size 6 from a size 22! Its crazy. I look at these size 6 clothes and think, no way! But I'm actually a size 6. Just incredible. Our mind hasn't caught up yet. It's a wonderful feeling.

I think we all feel this. It takes much longer for our brains to catch up! I also look at stuff and think "no way" and it fits. It is so weird to actually have choices when shopping instead of just having to o buy something because its the only thing that fits.

I had to pack up my sz12's - I'm now comfortably in the 10's. I haven't seen sz10 since the year I was married (1982). And that's not the best part! The best part happened when I was trying on pants yesterday (I only have one sz10 and needed at least one more pair). One pair I had grabbed to try said sz10 on the hanger but actually turned out to be a sz8 - and it fit! A tad snug, but not too bad. I got them buttoned and zipped! You could've knocked me over with a feather!!!! I put them back - they sat too low on the hips for a woman my age - but DAMN! A SIZE 8!!!!! I never even DARED to dream I'd get that small! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hell with that!!! I'm 58 and I can't wait to wear low rise jeans. Age is only a number. Lol

Just cut my toenails without having to get into a weird yoga position, nearly dislocating a hip or almost cutting off the top of a toe.... Loving the weightloss!!

Actually, after carrying full-term twin girls followed a few years later by a 10 1/2 pound boy, there is absolutely nothing sexy about me in low rise pants or jeans! Lol. But if you can pull it off you go right ahead! :-)

Congratulations! Think of all the money we'll save! Now when I get a pedi it'll be because I want to be pampered and not because I can't reach my toes! I loved it the first time I could paint my toes and still breathe at the same time! Now I can reach them effortlessly! :-)

Terry1118. That's a good point. My daughter carried full term twins both over 7 lbs so I can relate, those twinnies took a toll. I'm probably just wishful thinking but hey. Why not?!!!

My sister has ways been thin while I have always been fat. Going clothes shopping together meant I would help her pick out clothes for her to try on and give her the thumbs up or thumbs down. I always shopped on lone catalogs or specialty stores like Catherine's yesterday we popped into Ross where she picked up few tops, a skirt and a pair of jeans. I picked up three tops, two shrugs, a skirt and two dresses while she gave me the thumbs up. We had so much fun shopping together and it was the first time we both bought something from the same store since we were teens and mom bought us school clothes.

Just went to old navy and fit into a size 0.... Yes a 0 !!!! I couldn't believe it! I was telling everyone in the dressing rooms how happy I was. They probably all thought I was nuts!! But from going from a size 18-20 down to a freaking 0... I am completely shocked!!

I bought a size 20 pair of jeans at old navy a few weeks before surgery. I was a 24 before surgery and I had a couple of 22s that I could squeeze into. I had tried them on before surgery and I couldn't pull them up all the way or button them. This morning I pulled them out of my closet. I told my husband I knew they wouldn't fit but I wanted to see how it compared to trying them on pre surgery. To my surprise they actually fit! I actually took them back and exchanged them for an 18 because I'm not going to wear them till I go back to work and that's not for a few more weeks.

Get a 16... trust me. :)

I just bought size 12s at the end of february. I bought 4 pairs of work pants and in now in a 10 more like an 8. The 12s are going to goodwill this weekend and some I only wore one time.

Actually I have two friends who have gone through so weight related journeys recently, one lost a bunch, one gained some so I got a bunch of their clothes. I have a ton of 14s and 16s and some 18s but not a lot of 20s because I was hoping I might not need them. I have a huge basket of clothes already to sell, but I'm waiting because I know I'll have more to add soon.

I can't even imagine being a size 8! That's so awesome. My hubby wears a 32 which is about a 12/14. When I do laundry sometimes I just pick his jeans up and think "I can't believe I might actually have jeans this small at some point.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
