I was able to pull my size 10 abercrombie and fitch jeans all the way up - still have 4 inches to lose off hips before they get buttoned. But before you feel sorry for me: I couldn't pull them up past my knees when I started May 17. 15 pounds and I will be a sexy mama in my favorite super soft jeans. Banded July 5. On my way...

Sounds like everyone else too! Congrats on your awesome accomplishments!

My moment was when I went saturday shopping with all my "skinny" friends and realized that now I do not have to wathc and hold THEIR bags when they go to try on clothes...I too am in the dressing room trying on the SAME clothes they are trying on.

And damn if I don't look better!!!!! hehehehee

Now they ask me for MY fashion tips!

I was feeling a bit slow in weight loss when I read of people losing 40-50 pounds because we work in kilograms here in Australia. So I pulled up a unit converter and found that my 27kg is like 60 pounds!

I was able to get up on the swim step of a wake board boat on the 4th of July weekend. One of my biggist fears, that I would be stuck in the lake not be able to get back on the boat. Wow what a wonderful feeling. Huge NSV for me.

My all time favorite was when my daughter came out of her dance class a while back and said to her self who is that pretty lady ? Then I turned around and she said oh wow thats my mom.

I love your daughter!! My adult son did sort of the same thing when I went to meet him at his akido class (to go out to dinner afterwards!). He even wanted to introduce me to his instructor-- he's never wanted to do that before.

I had my surgery in June of 2008. My son left for college shortly thereafter so he wasn't around to watch me shrink. When he came home for Christmas that year I had lost about 75 pounds. I went to pick him up at the airport. When he came through the gate and saw me his expression spoke volumes. He ran over to me and picked me up and spun me around (he would have broke his back 6 months earlier..lol) and said "Holy Crap, Mom! You told me you lost weight but I had no idea!" It brought tears to my eyes. There's no better feeling than that of pride from your child!

Wow! Great job! I was on vacation and realized that most of what I packed was too big. I ran in to Fashion Bug to get a pair of shorts and as I entered the sales lady asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I told her I needed a pair of shorts and she said "well your looking in the plus sized section, you'll need to look over here" and gestured toward the "regular" sizes. I was shocked and she was right! The 14s fit perfect! It's weird that I didn't recognize how much I've lost until that moment! Yay!

how totally cool!!
