Hopefully bringing back this thread because I enjoyed reading through it so much! At almost 10 months out, I've lost 100 pounds and have another 20 to go! My latest non-scale victories:

-Had to get my license photo retaken at the DMV because airport security at DFW airport would not let me through as they did not believe I was the same woman on my license!

-Bought size 2 jeans

-My skin has been significantly clearer

-Can now share clothes with my 11-year-old sister 😂

Hope to read about all the amazing things you guys are doing!

Best wishes to all

Yes do tell what happened when TSA would not let you through.

I just had a similar thing happen in Florida. When I explained that I'd had bariatric surgery, TSA let me pass.

I just explained the situation and had another photo ID in my purse to show them it really was me. We had a laugh about it after! I eventually got through, it took a while though!

Oh yeah, I had to have my picture retaken for my DL about 3 months after surgery, and now it doesn't look like me again!

Haven't heard a word about my passport photo yet.

I've claimed this one before, but I love it every time: Not needing an extender for an airline seatbelt and not even having to wonder about it!!! I know it will buckle!

The one that really hit home for me was when I bent over to dry my legs after my shower one day and my legs and ankles looked normal! I didn't have cankles anymore!!

Have a new one... I had to take a decent work headshot for our internal IM and network. This was after replacing my badge picture two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I got questioned on my costco card not looking at me.

Traveling in a few weeks and just had a panic moment about how much my DL or passport don’t really look a lot like me.

My family and I traveled out of the country a this past summer. I looked at my passport and went into full panic mode. It looks absolutely nothing like me. I had this fear I would get stuck out the country. The young lady in customs just looked up and down and said wow you lost a lot of weight. She then advised me to get a new passport the next time I plan on leaving the country.

My team made me get a new headshot and new website content - I'm a physician, and new patients were weirded out that I looked so different from what they expected :)
