My husband can't stop shopping online for me. I have no idea why but clothes keep appearing at the house. So he bought me two tiny looking size 14 dresses. I wanted to let him see how they were still waaaay too small for me. I love dresses but they didn't look good with the excess weight so I was very nervous.

But they fit!

And even though I say it myself, dang I look good in them! I have to admit, I didn't recognize myself in them. I didn't realize I am "small" enough to fit into them.

I used to read about others who said they didn't realize they were in a smaller size and it made no sense to me. Today I understood that.

I'm exactly three months out today (sx aug 2nd), 39 lbs down and in another pound I'll be half-way to goal. I've gone from an 18w or 20 to a misses 14.

For those of you who stress about stalls(I.e., me too)? Just know that in 3 months I've had 3 stalls that lasted 12 days, 12 days, and 15 days respectively. So out of 90 days, I spent 39 days stalled. And still got these results overall.

So grateful for the sleeve today. I have a thankful heart. Thanks for listening to me dance about with happiness

You go girl!!! Congrats!! You look beautiful!!

This is so awesome. Congrats. I can't wait to be in your shoes!

You know before surgery I'd look at other people's pics and wonder if I would ever get there. I was sure I'd fail. I STILL worry about that. Every morning I think, maybe today is the day I'll stop losing weight. I do stall/pause a lot, but it's unbelievable. It's like nothing we've all ever done before to lose weight.

You'll be here before you know it and if you're like me, you will have such a thankful heart. Hope is a wonderful thing my friend.

You look amazing in that dress! You and your husband are such an inspiration to me. I know you will reach your goal in no time.

Start putting your face on your pictures because your confidence needs to catch up with your progress. Remember how inspiring others peoples pics are? YOU are the inspiration and motivation for many of us . Keep up the great job!

Did my husband pay you to say this?? He was so mad at me that I cut my head off. My son said where's you head?? And I told him I chopped it off. How else did he think I'd lost 40 lbs?

You're right. I know you're right. I will work on it. all I see is my double chin and my uneven skin tone and my thinning hair.

Confidence is 90% in our faces! I agree with the other poster, don't chop off your head! Be proud of your accomplishments and flash the beautiful smile along with the happiness of being in that dress!! I'm sure you looked beautiful and nobody would if noticed anything you are worried they would see.

How fantastic! Congrats

Gamergirl, I KNOW how awesome that must be! I can't wait, wait, wait to get there too!

Your victory is our victory too!!

Don't encourage him! He's replaced cooking with shopping I think. I'm patiently waiting for the addiction to die. In the meantime, mysterious packages of things we don't need keep arriving at the house.
