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

My daughter has two kayaks in our shed. Maybe I should take up kayaking...

I have always wanted to try kayaking. I live in Florida 1.5 miles from the ocean. Maybe this is my year. I told my niece she can teach me to surf this year. Now that will be a sight but I want her to know I will try anything once (well within reason).

Do it! Kayaking is high on my goals list along with bike riding. I live in Washington state so it has to wait until summer, but I will totally be small enough for it by then.

Yes, I'm waiting for summer, too! It seems so far away...

Me, too! Took a year but it feels unbelievably amazing!

My mother-in -law came to visit and decided to clean my closets ... We ended up with 4 green garbage bags full...got rid of all size 20 items, next is 18..baggy on me!! HW 243 SW 230 CW 207 surgery date dec 9th

I went to a party on Saturday. Well, we all ended up getting in the hot tub. So, all my clothes were wet. One of the people that lived there handed me some dry clothes. I asked what size they were and his response to me was "you realize you're the smallest one here, does it really matter what size they are?" Lol made me stop and realize I'm not the 300+ lb girl anymore.

We have a shower tub in our main bathroom. It's quite short. My tummy has never fit under the water. Until today. Best day ever so far!

Isn't that an AMAZING feeling! I've been buying 8's and I was formerly a pretty tight 22, too. I keep thinking this can't be real, I can't possibly be an 8! That maybe the clothes are running big but I never had clothes run big when I was a 22...

Gonna hit up Goodwill tomorrow again. Wore my size 14 jeans on friday and they were a little big and saggy in the butt! Time to try some 12's! Down from 26 's the day of surgery! Woohoo! !

That is awesome I loved when the numbers go down

I'm down 5 sizes in 7 months. When I'm shopping for my new size, I look at it and think there is no way it's going to fit. Then I try it on and do the happy dance!

I do the same thing! I manage to get them up and I'm like what?! No way lol

And dance like a raccoon on crack for about 5 minutes and then look around to see if anyone is looking at me like I'm crazy lol

I'm down to a 18 from a 28 and fit in a 16 but not comfortably yet to go in public with them yet lol

It is up there with best feelings in the world. Love that I went through with the surgery!

Got up to 60 grams of protein today!

Walking for longer periods of time is so much less painful now. That is so what I really wanted. Baaic things like being able to walk or stand for a few hours are taken for granted way too easily.
