Hello Everyone~

I'm just so damn excited!

Before my surgery I sat down and made a list of goal.

Well, Tonight I met my first GOAL!! 3 years ago I bought a pair of leather pants. I know how 1980's but hey... I could not even get them 4inches to being closed. Tonight I saw them hanging there and THEY FIT.. I buttoned them without even having to lay on a bed. THIS BAND IS AWESOME!

It will be 5 weeks tommorow.. I have been feeling down because I've not lost any more weight. I guess I've lost inches..

YES!!

Hey lady, CONGRATULATIONS!! That's one of those non-scale victories (NSVs) we love! Now, where are you actually going to wear those leather pants to, hmmm?

Just a few weeks ago I posted about my first NSV, which were a couple of pairs of jeans that have not fit me since before my first pregnancy six years ago. Well, now both of these jeans are TOO BIG! I've had to replace them with new ones two sizes smaller. Cool!!

So let me remind everyone to keep checking your closets--you don't want to discover that outfit you've been saving for a special occasion is now hanging off you. There's gold in them thar closets!

Whoo hooo!!! Congrats!

I still think it's wild to try on something old that used to be too small, and find it goes into the donate box because now it is too big. Alexandra is SO right - keep on top of your closet, 'cause those things in there are getting bigger and bigger while you sleep. I've "lost" a couple of things myself by waiting too long to try something on again.

Good for you again!!!

Ohhhh I had that experience last week. A brand new pair of $80 pants hanging in the closet for 3 years. Never fit. So I put them on last week...too big! I'm going to give it to my sister but have not been able to let go yet!

Buying another pair of pants---$80

Being thinner and having to down size----PRICELESS!!!

Mary:D

CONGRATS TO YOU!!!! Bet you feel like a million bucks!!

Yup, I donated 3 bags worth of clothes just the other week. I kept them, always telling myself that someday I would have use for them again after I loose weight. And when I finally try them on they are too BIG

That's so awesome! Congrats!
