I started at about 250lbs give or take and 5ft7.

I didn't wear jeans as I couldn't stomach the thought of buying 18-20 ' s or bigger. I couldn't get 15 ' s up over my mid thighs. I was wearing 2x+ in shirts.

Now, 8.5 months later here I am.. fitting comfortably in size 5 jeans.. and large shirts (could go down a size in shirts but a bit top heavy). It doesn't seem real! I am 90 lbs down, too!

What I've noticed besides my scale obsession, smaller jeans, etc.. my energy is through the roof, my back doesn't hurt nearly as often and the looks! I've noticed when I walk by people stop and stare. Literally. It makes me uncomfortable but then I remind myself it's not because I'm so big! It's a good thing. I guess. Haha!

But on a side note.. I finally went and got my belly button pierced. Whoa! That was SO nerve wracking let me tell you!

What are some crazy things have you experienced?!

Congratulations! What a great success story. I still can't get over fitting into smaller jeans. I was a size 22W and now I can fit into a 14. It's mind boggling. I've still got a ways to go, but I'm getting to where I want to be.

Look at those skinny legs!!! Awesome! Congrats on your progress!

Legs!!!! My date is tomorrow..... 2 hr delay. God is testing me!!!

There is a plus size store I like to shop at. I used to only be able to wear the large cut really stretchy shirts. The sizes at the store are 12-26. I was a 28 sometimes a 30 before surgery. Now I wear an 18 at this store. That just blows my mind! In a few months I have gone from barely being able to fit anything in the store to being near the bottom of the sizes they sell.

It is hard to adjust to dropping sizes, I am dropping 1-2 sizes a month, about every 3 weeks I need new jeans.

My boobs are also huge now, I am losing weight everywhere but since I never gained in my boobs, I am not losing in my boob. So as I am losing back and size fat, and my band size is going down, my cup size is going up. And my boobs look huge when I have clothes on. Most days I am just in louge/workout clothes, so when I put a real bra on, it is a real shock.

I'm not even 1/2 way to where I need to be, but adjusting to my newer body is a lot of fun.

I didn't think I was losing boobs either, because they were the last to go. I'm still well endowed, but not even CLOSE to what they were before! I went from a 42DD to a much more comfortable 36D. Now if they would stand back up a little....

Great post!

M-o-t-i-v-a-t-i-n-g!!!

You look great and congratulations!

I would love to be a 36D. I have gone from a 48DD to a 42F. I figure in the end I will end up a D cup, but the side effect from a medication I take is larger breast so we'll see.

Well... I didn't lose much natural tissue.. however, volume will stay.. they're fake. Woohoo! Hahha

you lucky!! I am 59 - mine are a 36c - in 6 months they will be a 36 long!!!!!

I'm the same way, just hit 122 and a size 0 in pants I can't believe it. I was at 248 last August and I believe sleeve day I was 222 around that weight Jan 3.

It's crazy! Lots of milestones

I just bought a size MEDIUM pair of pajamas!! All my extra lg or 1x keep falling down. I skipped right over the large size!

Congratulations!

Wow, you look fantastic! Way to go!
