Creekimp13 5,840 Posted January 7, 2018 Poking around in my closet last night, I put on my favorite Capri cargo pants from last spring......let go of the waist and they fell right off my butt. Like seriously...didn't even need to tug them...just wiggled a little and they slid off. I giggled like a loon and called my husband in and showed him. I remembered they took my measurements when I started at my group. I dug the paperwork out, and got out my measuring tape. I've lost two inches on my bust. One inch on my hips. One inch on my neck. And a whopping SEVEN inches on my waist:) My cargo Capris were baggy...I was buying an up-size because of my waist. Waist reduced and the rest was already baggy. Off they fell:) Am love, love, loving getting my waist back:) 8 Sarah Thompson, greenreader, YummyMummy303 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fruitandveggies 456 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) What a sweet post @Tealael! One of the things that sabotaged me most in the past was not recognizing my accomplishments, so this is really nice of you. That is awesome @Creekimp13! I looove when my clothes get too big. My bank account doesn't so much though! I guess I will humble brag that I've just hit my 11 month mark and lost 130 pounds. My waist has gone from 52" to 33" I went from a size 3x to a L or M. Thanks for letting me brag, I'm soooo happy!

NewBeginnings2018 81 Posted January 7, 2018 I love the idea of this! There is so much we accomplish in small bouts and it all deserves to be celebrated!! I am getting sleeved tomorrow but I'm SUPER proud of myself for sticking to my pre-op diet while I was stranded in LA 3 days this week due to the storm on the east coast. Had to take an uber to the drug store to get Protein Drinks. lol. 6 livinthelife, Stella S, Jeannie49 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sprinkles1 358 Posted January 7, 2018 Love this! I actually find everyone's bragging inspirational. Can't wait until I'm in the same spot as everyone else!

brightfaith 187 Posted January 7, 2018 Thank you for the opportunity! I am pre-op and halfway through the supervised nutrition visits and as of today have lost 50 pounds (I am a high BMI-er). I wish I could tell, but I don’t look any different to myself in the mirror. I am down a couple of sizes, though. Three more nutrition visits to go! 6 Sosewsue61, vamping, Creekimp13 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flabtofab122717 26 Posted January 8, 2018 Love this post. Congrats to everyone! I was sleeved 12/27/17, and am down 15 pounds since my surgery and 43 pounds from my highest weight when I started all this in October. Yesterday, I took a selfie. Straight on. Not holding my phone up in the air to hide my double chin. And when I reviewed the picture- double chin was gone! I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty excited! Lol:) 5 Creekimp13, Sosewsue61, geegee32 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vamping 183 Posted January 8, 2018 Way to go @brightfaith! You sound like you are setting yourself up for great success. I hope your journey goes well. I'm 16 months out but remember trying to slog through those pre-op appointments. Hang in there. You got this. 2 brightfaith and Creekimp13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
