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

Skinny jeans look awesome on me and I can wear shirts with no x's... Just large those are my current wins

Oh and I'm a big sports fan and I get to buy all new jerseys for each of my teams and now I wear a medium... I used to hate that the axis was on the outside for all the world to see... Now I love it

*size not axis

I can cross my legs comfortably.......

The smallest clothes I own are now too big for me. I went from having only two complete outfits in 2X that fit (barely) back in May, to 1X, to XL, to L (pant sizes going down from 22, 20, 18, 16, 14) - all of which I already owned due to an Optifast weight loss back in '09. I'm edging into unfamiliar territory - MEDIUMS!! And sz12's! From here on in it is all unfamiliar territory.

Now, whenever I buy a sz12, I also pick up a sz10. I'm even eyeing sz8's and smalls on clearance racks - is it possible I could get THAT small? :-)

My leggings are to big now they look like slacks!

I made it thru halloween without one piece of candy. Yay me!!

Me too!

Its "that" time of the month...I feel fat and bloated.....but....my "I feel fat pants" are now a 16 vs a 22/24.

Also....although tops were lasting longer because they aren't as fitted...most of mine are too big now. I don't have one jacket that is even passable.

Such an awesome feeling congrats.

It was extremely cold outside this morning so I decided to look for my size 14 pea coat which I wore the first year I had the band now 2 months post op from bypass the coat fits and I've got room in the sleeves that I never had. I haven't been able to wear this coat for the last 5 years! I'm so excited!

I am wearing a size 18 jeans today.

Wow that is great!!! You are doing so well!!

I bought 14s this weekend and was thrilled.

I sure wish there was universal sizing.... I have clothes from a fourteen to a twenty, all fit well! All around the same size too, just different brands... Very frustrating when trying to purchase online.....

I agree! I hate this which is why I stick with only a couple brands. Usually Levis and Maurices.
