I found some of my old pants today and just for giggles i put them way to big so i tried to wear one side :) i can not believe it my body fits in one pant leg.. ilost about 100 pounds before my surgery and about 70 since im at 214lb right now thats just mind blowing because when i look in the mirror i still look huge. My hunny tells me im preety small now but i dont feel smaller. Its crazy that i can fit. I used to see weight loss commercial where they would put themselves in one leg and used to think thats foonny not possible but it is!!!! I cant really tell anyone else about my weight they think im showing off so i wanted to let my ds friends know its possible

That's great! It's fun to try on old sizes! I got uniforms that make me look like a kid playing dress up!
I still wear my old overalls fishing. Theres room in them for another person!

Wow that is awesome. I wish I had saved a pair of my biggest pants. I almost am tempted to go buy a pair to have as reference. And when I want to eat something I shouldn't just look at them and say NO WAY NOT AGAIN!!!

Congratulations on the fantastic job on losing!!

Totally cool! You're amazing, I just had surgery two weeks ago and I'm already having trouble finding clothes that aren't too big and baggy. I'm going back to work today, and though the shirts I have aren't too bad, the pants are ridiculously big. Guess I will have to visit our local Good Will store for awhile.

You are such an inspiration! Thank you!

I can't wait to be where you are. I told my therapist that I was going to pin up a pair of my jeans post surgery as a reference. She liked the idea.

Thanks everyone, it feels good to be able to say something and not have people tell big whoops not a big deal. To me and to all of you it is a big deal people who have never been large dont understand what a accomplishment weight loss is or how hard it really is. Thanks for all the support!!!

Bigred...

Congratulations!! That is so wonderful!

I would think even though some of your friends DON"T understand, they may still support you, thru your wonderful accomplishments! A good friend should be there thru thick and thin....no pun intended, but it kinda does fit eh? LOL!!

Keep going, no matter what anyone says! You have come SO far, and should be very proud of yourself!

I hope I am as successful as you.

Hugs,

Betsy
