these are the coral colored pants that my friend AJ sent me last year..i have wrote about them before..when she sent them to me, i could not get them up over my thigh...100% true

and i do not own a scale and so i used these pants as a way for me to gauge how i was doing....little by little, i got them on...and then i was trying hard to get them buttoned.....and then my stomach apron kept me from that....but i kept ON..

day in and day out

eating my allotted amount

lean Proteins, veggies, fruit

drinking ALOT

and exercising

first just walking (all i could do)

and then i would go farther and farther

and then start low impact step aerobics

first without the step and then on the step

and now its a daily thing...to work out after work

i do not eat my din din until ole girl works out

and here i am today....wearing those coral colored pants..(they come with a white belt but i did not include it as i wore a black shirt)..the pants are a size 16 reg/missy (label said)...and the sweater is size large

so, 16 months ago, i was in a size 5x skirt, size 30 pant and well over 336+ pounds

and this is me today..in those coral colored pants

so this post is to say, i did it...

thanks for the support

You look fabulous girl!! Congrats!

Fabulous!!! Congrats on all you hard work.

You look amazing in those coral pants.....seeing you reach this milestone is great since you have often talked about getting into those capri's during the course of your weight loss.

I hope you know what a true inspiration you are to me...and many others....there is no phony baloney here...just the plain and basic facts of banded life. And ever since I've been on this site, I've followed a few people and you have been one of them and you are making such a difference to me.

I've been banded only 7 1/2 weeks and I keep your words in the back of my head...out for a walk tonight with the dog....was it cold in NY...yup...so on went the winter coat and out I went. It felt good and no one could make me do it but me!!!!

I think the best thing has been making better food choice and NEVER feeling deprived. I eat everything I want and am learning to pay attention to that "stop sign" you talked about. I don't always listen or get it just yet but I'm figuring it all out....and the results are there....

I feel better....physically and mentally. My clothes are loose...even big...and the scale (which I am NOT a slave to) is down...... 46 pounds ALREADY.

So a great big thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing YOUR CORAL CAPRIS....and thanks to AJ for sending them to you!

Looking great and thanks for continue to be an inspiration to me

I knew you could do it, congrats!
