patriciaphelps 3 Posted June 7, 2011 I am 10 weeks out and I started at 240lbs and a tight size 20 jeans... I am now 212lbs and in a size 16!!! So today was picture day.. I take a picture once a month on the 5th in an old swim suit that I had when I was thin... Today we took my monthly picture and you could see a huge difference from last month and an even bigger difference from the first picture!! I am in a wedding in the middle of July and I had to buy my dress early... so I had to order a 20 because I wasnt sure if I was going to get to have the surgery at the time I had to buy it... When I brought it home to show my husband, he had a hard time getting it to zip because it was a bit snug... Well I tried it on tonight and well lets just say the only thing holding it up is my butt!! They say they can take it in up to 2 sizes but I think I am already at that mark and the wedding is still over a month away!!! Ahhhahaha! I have had 3 fills and I feel that I am at the sweet spot!! I am so excited about my progress and today just made it that much better!!! I cant wait to see how the rest of this turns out! I have set a new goal as of May 31 to hit 180lbs by August 31... thats about 10 lbs a month.. and that is exactly what I did last month!!! So I am determined to meet my goal!!! I just wanted to share my exciting news with everyone!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patriciaphelps 3 Posted June 7, 2011 I am so excited for you!!! I can't wait to get to that point. I just had my surgery almost 2 weeks ago. I still have a ways to go before I have my first fill but I am so ready to be where you are!!! I'm happy for you!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puglover 0 Posted July 3, 2011 UPDATE!!!! So I went for my dress fitting and I needed to order a new dress! But its a special order color and all they had were sizes 2, 20,22, and 28... so they had to do what they could to take it in and make it work. It looks much better now! The only bad part is that it would have been cheaper to buy a whole new dress instead I had to fork up $100 in alterations! I am down another 5 lbs to 204 now and I cant wait until I hit 199!! Its been at least 3 years since Ive been in the 100's! All of my clothes are falling off of me or look like I pooped my pants! lol I was bored the other day so I went to the store and tried on some shorts to see if I could fit into 14's yet... well I got them on, zipped, and buttoned!! They weren't pretty but the point is I got them on!! I wouldn't have gotten the over my thighs 3 months ago!!! Thanks for reading! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
