I was in a tight 26 and now am in shock as I tried on a bunch of size 12s and they fit!! I haven't been there since high school. Don't think size 8 will be for me but I am really happy with a 12`

I will be the first to admit that I am a scale addict. I have weighed myself almost every day for the past 6 years. I will also confess that until I was critically ill and in the hospital 7 years ago I had not been on a scale for 20 years. That was one of the reasons I weighed in at 325. Weighing myself every day now has allowed me to lose 125 pounds so far, 40 pounds with the band. I am just not quite used to not dropping something every other day or so if I am working hard. And right now I am carefully measuring my calories and exercising at least 60 minutes a day. It just doesn't seem fair that I am working hard and I gained. I thought I understood this whole process but I guess not??!!
