Jennifer Hathaway 12 Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) I too bought clothes at H&M, brought them home and the larges are too big. I also fit in the junior size jeans. I can fit into my old favorite pair of Tommy Hilfiger pants. I was able to walk 5 miles and I wasn't even that tired. Being able to leave food on my plate. I love my band! I forgot to add my rings had to be resized down a whole size. :thumbup: Edited September 19, 2010 by mom2hunterandhailey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busywildmom 0 Posted September 19, 2010 I love to Celebrate the little victories. Some of mine are: 1) actually showing people my wedding band, I have been married for ten years and have only worn it for a total of 2 years. But it is starting to scare me that it is getting too loose. 2)Wearing cute shoes again. Even heels! and it does not look like sausages in twine! 3)just yesterday i made the decision that my favorite jeans have to go. Even the belt does not work anymore. I am sure there are going to be more to come, YAY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gillian31 0 Posted September 19, 2010 I can fit in the backseat of my mini van thrid row wow! My pants are so loose that when i go to the bathroom i just pull them down. I have more energy to run after my three year old. My sex life is returning ( my husband love that) lol And i have more confidence in myself. I still have a long way to go but i rather do it at a slow pace then a fast one and gain gain all the weight back:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teacher07 3 Posted September 20, 2010 I Bought a pair of SINGLE digit jeans from American Eagle! I have never been able to shop there. I went to the first football game of the season and my chair seemed pretty roomy and I no longer flooded over to my neighbors seat! 1 va_viv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TracyNYC 4 Posted September 20, 2010 Single digit jeans is amazing! But from American Eagle? WOW!! Their stuff is cut tiny. Awesome NSV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vega1star 0 Posted September 20, 2010 I just got banded on Friday this last week and I'm so thankful for this posting. It was great to read and gives me so much hope. Single digits as AE??? That truly is amazing. If I can make this work maybe I'll be there too someday. I may still be stuck shopping at Walmart, but they have smaller sizes there too :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wickwit 1 Posted September 21, 2010 I had my first fill on Friday 9/17. While I was waiting for the doc to come in, I looked at the dreaded BMI chart...and realized that I was below 40%, in fact I'm 39% now. Gee I guess that makes me overweight instead of morbidly obese?! I'm taking my size 26s & 24s to a consignment store. The 22's are kinda lose and I can get into some 20's, but I'm hedging my bets and keeping the 22's for a bit longer! My DH made me change out of my favorite pair of shorts, before going to Home Depot, said they were ridiculously baggy. I walk everyday at lunch, 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. I think it's time to change my sigg! Oh and my MD put 4cc in a 10c band. She started with 5 but it felt a bit too tight, sodown to 4cc. Great thread! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
