I had a similar experience when I rode to a meeting wit coworkers. We had to park several blocks away from the building. Not only could I walk the distance with no problem but I was in front of the group!!!!!! It felt so good not to be lagging behind. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs.

Jeepchick42 193 Posted August 6, 2013 So I broke down and went shopping yesterday. I had to get some shirts for my new job. I bought 8 shirts and 2 dresses but I bought them in 2 different sizes. Some I can wear now, some I'll wear later. Also the company provides coats, fleeces, and raincoats. I ordered them all in a smaller size because I figure by the time I need a coat I'll hopefully be able to wear a large. 1 Weight Warrior reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dbanks 111 Posted August 6, 2013 I am running up and down the stairs at work now. I use to dread when the door rang and wait to see if someone else in the office was going. Now I'm the first one up to take another turn on the stairs. It's Paying off Sunday I fit comfortably in my seat at church. I can remember when that was true before. Felt great! 2 Weight Warrior and favor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baconville 578 Posted August 6, 2013 AS OF THIS MORNING I AM DOWN 70 POUNDS!! Sometimes it feels like the scale is moving so slowly, it is easy to forget how far I have come. I really didn't start trying to lose until mid April, and today I am 6 weeks post surgery. I still have a very long way to go, but for the first time in years, I feel like I have a chance of making this work!!

Kristi 195 Posted August 6, 2013 I have to share a funny... Saturday I was getting ready to go to a retirement part. I put on a dress that I have NEVER worn. I bought it over a year ago on clearance and it ended up being too tight. So I'm dressed and ready to go and my 20 year old son says gee mom... what happened to your boobs? they are gone. My husband laughed and said yeah I noticed that too but wasn't going to say anything.... at least they noticed a difference 5 Rhyzell, Mel3620, daynauky1 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
