I went to visit my mom this past weekend for an early Thanksgiving, and I found my senior prom dress (from 1995). I tried it on and not only did it fit, it was a bit loose! That was kind of cool for me.

I'm down 77 pounds and still have 85 to go, but I am so THANKFUL for this surgery. What a wonderful change it has brought to my life. :001_rolleyes:

How neat is that! That must have made your day! I will love the day that I can actually fit into some of my smaller clothes, especially my smaller uniforms, I used to wear a L (now 3X) so to be able to get back into L's will just be the biggest NSV for me!:001_rolleyes:

It really is so much fun. The gift of wearing normal sizes is so wonderful.

I have been taking ball room dance classes. I quickly noticed that none of the women that go to the dances are in the least bit overweight.

These dance classes have opened up a whole new world for me. People who are not overweight and never have been, do not understand at all

what we go through.

Daisy, do you like the dance classes? I've been wanting to try it.

Well, a month after I posted this, those numbers have changed again and I'm just thrilled!

My previous post was 77 pounds down, 85 to go, and now it's 85 down and 77 to go! I'm over the hump there! I weigh on Mondays and I was really surprised with the numbers today because I haven't been exercising much at all.
