Today i was going to a bbq party and well my wardrob since losing is pretty bad so i decided i needed a new outfit. I went and picked out a pair of 16(since that is what i have been wearing) and i also got the same pants in a 14 ( i wanted to see how long before i could wear them) well I tried the 14s on first and they FIT great.... INcluding a pic of me before the party. I am still got a way to go but i am trudging that way.

Congratulations! You look amazing! And you're an inspiration to me! I have not done very well. My band slipped this past April, and I had to have surgery again. During the past four months since, I have gained approximately 25 pounds because I have slipped back into my bad habits, making poor food choices. Every day I struggle to stay on-track, but I am still thankful for my band because I am certain I would have gained back more without it. Keep working hard!

Hi,

You look great and congrats!.. It hit home as I had surgery about a week before you and am now in a 14 too (I think I'm allot shorter though at 5'1"). I would say most of mine has been in the last 6 months as I didn't get restriction until then. All through winter I wore my old clothing as they got looser but I didn't think loose enough to get new clothing. In summer I decided to try some new clothing but didn't think the 14 would fit but they do. I feel like my sizes are more like 20lb between instead of 10-15 for others. I don't weigh myself often as always scared to get depressed and I'm happy if I can loose .5-1lb a week. I'm so working it and feel like the band is really helping now but have to make good decisions which are not always so easy or food not available. I find it amazing how some foods I can eat two bites and be so done and others I feel like I can eat quite a bit of. Good job and I'm right there with you .. fighting the battle but for once I think I have a tool that can really help me and I think it's possible.

Great job... It feels so great to be making strides.. I did the same thing .. I took the 14s in with me to just try and i was wow they fit.. Wrap them up ... Today i went and decided to try on a medium scrub pants.. Figured no way and even told the sales clerk "iam trying these on but please find me a large brown pair as thats what i need" when i came out i was forget the large.. these FIT.. she laughed and said good thing cause i didnt have any large...
