Amy,

Congrats! That is fantastic. Always good if we can find small victories not always related to just the scale. Keep up the good work!

(edited kind to can, can't type/think worth a damn)

Keep up the great work. I can't wait until I have my VSG and can boast the same!

Congratulations! I can't wait for the same.

Yes..that is a great feeling.

Yay!

Good for you!!!!! :) I actually was able to fit in a pair of 18W!! I don't think I have been this size for at least 25 years!!!

That is awesome! I am only a week out and I can't wait to be out of the "w"!! Way to go

I'm 6.5 weeks out. Went shopping with my mom and went up to the plus size section and she said "you can't wear that stuff anymore." I assured her I could. She told me I need to check the regular women's clothing- I still feel weird shopping there. Looked at an XL jean jacket and thought There's no way that's gonna fit...but it did! It's crazy! I look in a mirror and ask my mom- is that what I really look like or is the mirror distorted? I've lost about 50lbs but don't believe it yet in my head.

Congratulations!! What a great feeling!!! We've spent so long thinking of and feeling one way about ourselves that it is difficult to think or feel any other way! But slowly it is happening and it is awesome!!!
