I had to go shopping for clothes for my sons upcoming festivies surrounding graduation and the actual graduation. I didn't think that I had gone down much, but, four months out I have gone from 24-26 and 3x's to 16 W, I am so very excited. More motivation !! But feeling great is the best thing of all. Thank you all for being here and listening !!!

YEAH for you! And think how GOOD you will look posing in those fancy new clothes with him for graduation!!!!

OMG! Graduation is next week for my son. Dinner with his shop class is this Friday. I guess I need to go shopping for some new clothes. OH DANG! I have been so busy taking care of a dying aunt that I neglected to figure out what I am wearing to graduation.

Thanks for your replies, it is such a blessing...the last time I tried to shop for something for a special occasion I went to every store imaginable and found NOTHING, it was so humiliting, I ended staying home from the wedding that it was for. I am on top of the world right now !!! I hope this is a good testimony for those not in such a good place...I physically feel great too, and can do so much more than I have been able in over 11 years !!!

My daughter just graduated this week and it was so different from my son's graduation just 2 years ago. I didn't mind the family pictures at all! Love this new life!
