I mentioned in one of my recent blogs that I went a Bon Jovi concert last week. The show was great and it was amazing watching women from 8-80 drool and swoon over Jon Bon. One of the rituals of going to almost any concert is getting the concert t-shirt. In the past, every time I pick a shirt I like, it is never available in my size 3XL or 4XL, which usually meant, I bought a baseball hat with the band logo instead. However, this time was different. Obviously, with the LapBand, I am losing weight so I asked what they had in 2XL and of course both of the shirts I wanted were available. So…thinking of the future I bought both shirts. I am glad to report that when I tried on the 2XL today it fit. I know this is a small victory, but it felt great and is one of those proof points that band is working and that I can do better in the future.

i have always wanted to go to a Bon Jovi concert...hopefully the day i go i will be able to get a Tshirt size L.

2Xl is great proof. I decided that the # on the scale is not as important as how you feel in your clothing.

Being able to fit into smaller clothing is not a small victory. That's huge! That means that your weight loss journey is successful. I get so excited when I go down a size. Of course it means having to get new clothes or alter the ones I already have, but aside from the cost involved I really look forward to dropping sizes. When I started my journey I was wearing a size 32. This week I wore a pair of size 22 pants to work that were way too big. I would have jumped for joy, but they may have fallen off (okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration - but you get what I'm saying right?).

That is awsome! Remember, this has been no small accomplishment! Be Proud!

HUGE HUGE HUGE I say it is a HUGE victory. Nothing small about fitting into something you want to wear. Proof of it is in the clothing!!!!! I have had to take clothes in with my sewing machine to get me by. It Feels good. I am proud of you. Best wishes imaluckydog
