fujika 0 Posted July 16, 2008 I went to the store last night and walking out I saw a reflection of a woman in the glass doors. She wasn't as large as me, quite a bit smaller, she looked pretty good. She was still very much overweight and needed to lose about 60 pounds but she looked good! I had to take a second look, it was me!! :w00t:Really, that smaller women in the reflection was me!! :tt1:I couldn't believe it! WOW! I really love my band, I am so glad I did this for myself!

SuzanneG 1 Posted July 16, 2008 I had that exact same thing happen to me. Took me by surprise, but what a pleasant one! Congrats on your weight loss and good luck to you Cindy, you'll be so glad you did it. My brother is about to have it done too, I'm so excited for him.

HeatherO 7 Posted July 16, 2008 Isn't it wonderful!!!! It took some getting used to for me, but I must admit that once I noticed how much my reflection has changed, I can't stop looking. Now I am always curious about reflections in windows, doors, mirrors, even shiny cars lol. Isn't it a little addicting??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted July 16, 2008 My husband and I just got back from vacation. He took a lot of pictures of me. When we got them back, I was stunned. We actually had a few blown up and framed. I haven't allowed pictures of me on the walls or in an album in over 15 years!!! For once, I wasn't embarrassed.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
secretstolen 4 Posted July 18, 2008 I recently had the same thing happen in a dressing room. I am 1 month and 1 week out today!! way to go!! XOX Barbie Isn't that the best feeling ever?! I went into a Macy's just recently with a friend and we went by the dresses and just picked up some and went to try them on - just for fun. Before the band, I never would have done this, much less walked out and let my friend see how the dress looked on me. This time, though, I did - and I looked awesome! :thumbdown: I'm so happy for all of us! Yaaaaay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
