Yep some non surgery victories :-D Friday I went to the movies with a friend and was able to put both arm rest down and still have plenty or room in my chair :-) Now my niece can hug me and wrap her arms all the way around me :-) oooo... Was able to wear a REALY cute pair or wedges all day :-D Okay I wanna hear some of y'all's now :-D

Thats awesome but I feel like a failure noe that the scale has halted! I only have 25 lbs to go.

Think about what you are saying. You feel like a failure - even though you have lost a lot of weight. Not sure how much but try turning your thinking around. The scale will move again, but the closer we are to goal the slower the weight loss.

Congrats! Things like that are the real reason for RNY. :-)

I bought this awesome pair of pants 6 months ago from J. Crew making them my 'goal' pants since I had never been able to fit anything from that store. They have been in the back of the closet where I forgot about them. Found them and tried them on last night...loose!!!!!!!

Can you exchange them for something smaller? I've been returning things I bought months ago that still have tags on them (no receipt returns get store credit) and then having fun shopping for nice things that fit or even buying smaller sizes (because I KNOW I'll get there). :-)

I would but I'm wearing them today! I've gotten so many compliments!!

Yesterday I went to the fish market to pick up snow crabs, on my way back home with my daughter she saw a friend of hers who use to come to the house like all the time. I had not notice her friend because as we were walking I was answering a text on my phone. My daughter says mom look at rosemary, I turn to look at her friend with her mouth open and staring at me. She tells my daughter omg that's not your mom, my daughter says yes it is she is like OMG and jumps up and hugs me and says she couldn't even recognize me...at that moment I felt on top of the world...and while we were walking away she texted my daughter to say omg you mom looks hot I wanted to cry was so happy to hear ands see my daughters friend.

Today I actually fit into all the 14's I tried on! I didn't buy any of them because why would I if they're going to be too big in a month. While shopping I tried on some 12's and I got into them, too! Of course I looked like an over stuffed sausage but I DID get into them. So that's what I bought - two pair of slacks, sz12. I bet I'll be wearing them by Thanksgiving! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I have not been a sz12 since 1985! Picture me, grinning from ear to ear! :-)

Went to pick my son up from school after his football practice, had to find him in the school and all the players told him I can't be his mom that I look to young and hot to be his mom!

Thats just awesome

Bought some Levi's today. Size 12. They fit!

Thanks everyone!! Even though there kids it still feels good to know others find me easy on the eyes ; ) I only have 17 lbs till I reach my goal weight of 120lbs. Almost 7 months post op so I am really happy ! I'm working my butt off at the gym trying to tone everything up! I'm not giving up yet, hoping in time most of the sag will tighten up!

Okay this is gross, but I can clean my butt hole in the shower without breaking my arm. Before I would have to strain to each between my cheeks, now it is like no problem, I know I am weird!!!!
