As I've been losing the wright since my June surgery, I haven't been purchasing smaller clothes. I've just been tightening my belt and tucking my shirts in a little further. This morning when I weighed in I was down a total of 100.1 pounds! Took the day off and HAD to buy new pants as my old ones were more like clown pants. On my June 11 surgery day my pants were size 60 waist ( can't believe I just posted that in public!). Today I bought all new pants size 50 waist! They feel so much better than my clown pants. Even better I realized I'm finally in the green zone! It's a happy day!

Wow, that's a lot weight to lose in just 4 months!! Outstanding!!!

Congratulations on your tremendous success!

Congrats on both your weight loss and your new pants! You deserve it =)

I such I could get excited as my wife does. I still have days when I tell myself "so what you've lost 100 pounds. You're still 160 pounds overweight!" But then I realize that I just need to do it again (lose 100#). I've done it once - I can do it again, right?

Boy I remember that feeling! I remember losing the first hundred and then sighing because I wasn't even half way to goal. It can be really overwhelming.

But then I realized how far I'd come and knew I could lose another hundred. I just focused on small goals, like dropping another clothing size or going down into the next decade on the scale.

Now... here I am down 230 pounds and only 30 pounds from goal.

If I can do it, so can you

Ok so how did you lose so fast and congrats , some of it is taking longer will get there tho as I had a 150 lbs to lose when I started and I a almost there to my goal that is as I know everybody is different good for you and keep it up the losing that is not the weight lol I just have my mom take in my clothes so far it has been a yr and 11 days since I was banded so I have only bought 2 out fits and 1 pair of work pants since then , I will buy ore when my mind catches up.

wonderful progress.. so you still need to lose 160 lbs .. the good news is you don't need to lose 260 lbs.. anymore. New pants is a wonderful step in the right direction... keep up the good work...

If you need more encouragement go down to the big box home improvement store and pick up a 100lb bag of cement and imagine that your legs and feet was carrying all that around. Congrats on the lose so far.
