Hi everybody,

I just wanted to share that I am officially not plus sized. This was a milestone for me and I'm very excited about it. I bought new clothes last night in the Misses section and it felt so strange. But in a good way!

I've discovered that no one wants to hear about my weight loss, it makes my overweight brother upset because he's still waiting for his band and even skinny people who I thought cared, don't seem interested, so I just tell my lapband friends.

Thanks for listening!

OOPS I forgot to add now you need to post a new pic of you and your new outfits!

SuzanneG,

We definately care!!!!!! I am so thrilled for you..:thumbup: I know exactly how you feel, I was in Lane Bryant this weekend ;and I am offically OUT!!! Nothing there fits anymore......:thumbup: Any time you need us, we are here!!!

Whoooo Hoooo Suzanne!!! What a great accomplishment, I can't wait until I'm right there with you! Congrats and keep up the great work!

Congrats!!! This is a goal we're all looking forward to - when we can shop at any store we want!

WOW!! You go girl! I cant wait to do that! You are an inspiration! :thumbup:

Congratulations! WOw I cannot wait for this Eureka moment :thumbup:

suzanne I am so happy for you! Way to go girl!

It is a weird feeling to be able to move out of the plus sizes. I was so happy when I was able to move back into my petite sizes (i am so short). Congrates!

Rascal76, I haven't gotten in front of the camera at all, but was thinking of taking a "during" picture when I hit my mid-way mark. I'm almost there!

suzanne

you really should take the picture durning each stage. I look back at the beginning and to where i am now... I never knew how i really looked. What I saw in the mirror was different from the pictures. It was an eye opener and a happy surprise to see where I am now.

WOO HOOOOO! Congratulations to you! I know it feels great and is a huge step! Keep up the great work! :thumbup:

can i just say boo boo kitty...you look freaking incredible!!! i'm getting banded 4/17..such an inspiration.

now how did you fit time to do 1.5 hours of exercise? did you do it right from the beginning (i think i'm too out of shape for that right away). please share. :thumbup:

YES! we'll be waiting to see them. It's such an inspiration to see everyone's photos. I check the "Before and After" thread every day for new photos!

Congrats everyone! Would someone tell me what NSV is??

Congrats everyone! Would someone tell me what NSV is??

NSV=NON scale Victory, the best kind there is! :thumbup:

That was one of my biggest goals for getting banded. I love to shop for clothes now! I buy 2 or 3 outfits at a time at each change in size. I have been boxing up my too big clothes to actually give away. Yes I don't have to save them for when I gain wt. again.

Can you imagine, never, never, never again will we need to shop in those stores!!!

I'm in a petite size 10 now.

Congratulations!!!

Congrats! I really cant wait till I am no longer plus sized!
