NSV TIME!!

Holy crap. I went into Walmart to get some new jeans (IMHO, better than any expensive jeans I have purchased). I started at a 26 and have been wearing some 24s as well. Walking around Chicago this weekend, it was apparent that I had to break down and buy some clothes. I bought a few things last week, but not jeans. Mostly comfy stuff, workout clothes, summery casual stuff.

Anyway, for sh-ts and giggles, I picked up a pair of 20s along with the 22s.

THEY FIT!!!!

I am beside myself... the teens are on their way, baby!!

I bought a pair of denim capri's 2 sizes smaller than I have been wearing and I decided to finally wear them when I walked down the stairs my 26 year old son was walking into the front door. He hadn't seen me in a week and he looks up at me and says Mom you look so skinny and gave me the biggest hug. I was grinning from ear to ear.

I luv all of these because I'm right there with you gals!!

My collar bones are showing, I can cross BOTH my legs!! My hip bones are here after all...and I'm sleeping on my back more, not waking up to a head and neck that have fallen asleep!!

But not to drudge....I am having problems with my knees being together at night, and my body aches more because of the more pronounced bones...heck, blessings to me!!

OK, had to post a progress pic of sorts.

They are all lined up along the same edge on the left so you can see the difference on the right.

26 to a 20 in just over -50lbs and 2 months.

Today is three months since I started tracking my weight. I was 304 then and only a few pounds lighter at surgery a week later.

Today, I am down 60 lbs.... AND INTO 18s!!!!!

I didn't have to struggle or suck it in.... I slipped into a pair of 18 capris a girl at work gave me... like it was the most natural thing in the world.

TEENS!

I haven't worn teens since I was a teen!

I am giddy!!!

When I had my surgery I was going into a size 26 clothes-went to a wedding last night and had to buy new clothes: size 18/20. And was able to wear heels all night!
