You look GREAT Tiffy! I know from your posts that it was a hard journey to get where you are now from the complications with your revision, but I can tell you appreciate your success sooo much more because of how difficult it was. I agree with everyone that you are a marvelous inspiration.

I can't wait for next spring/summer to wear some cute dresses. Like you, I have never experienced that. Oh the little things in life...:tongue_smilie:

So, I'm a little late on this one, but not a lot has changed between month 9 and 10.

I'm wearing a range of sizes depending on where I'm shopping. Old Navy and Wal-Mart in a size 4-6, small to medium tops. Rue 21, and more juniory sizes I'm in a solid 7, sometimes a 5.

Life is good. I'm happy, healthy, figuring this stuff out is still a learning process. Things are tasting better these days, and some of my old stand by favorites have lost their luster. BUT, I am finding that I'm eating a very balanced diet including veggies/fruits/proteins/carbs. I'm short some days on Protein, and over on carbs, but I'm not stressing about the numbers with the exception of calories, and I'm staying between 1200-1500 per day.

I did buy a new dress (Old Navy) and super adorable wedges (Traffic) this last week.

I'm super stoked to be wearing springy dresses. This is all new territory for me as I've never worn this kind of stuff. I mean NEVER in my life.

Sleeved life is good. It's still a journey for me, I hope to keep this mentality up for the long haul. I still have bad days, do not believe that every day is perfect. It's not always easy, but thus far, it's been completely worth it.

Sorry it's blurry, the kiddo snapped these for me real quick.

I promise I know how to Iron as well, but I had been sitting in my truck for at least an hour before taking these.

He was making me giggle during this one so ignore the squinty eye thing.

Wow Tiffy. I just found this thread today. You look fantastic and the dress looks great on you. Were you ever overweight?? You'd never know it by looking at these pics. :blushing:
