I just had to share the good news - I decided to go try on some clothes so that I could see what size I was in preparation for tomorrow's clothing exchange in East County. Well, was I surprised! In almost 7 weeks, I've gone from a 26 shirt to an 18 and a 28 pant to a 22!

O H M Y G A W D!

It's been such an incredible ride - I can't believe how fast it's all happening. My only teeny-tiny complaint is that I seem to be melting from the top-down! I wasn't pear shaped before, but I'm certainly getting that way!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment." Kate White

I try my clothes on about every 2 weeks. I have shrunk from a 3x top to a medium and sometimes a small. I have gone from a 28 pant to a 12 pant in 6 1/2 months. Along with that I have lost 104 pounds. My daughter watches me when I try on the smaller sizes and she says to me, " Mom you are a princess." that is so cool.

Friends are the ones who lend you a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen and a leg to lean on. They are there even when you think nobody else is!

Life never gives us a challenge we can't overcome!

Barbara:

I'm so happy for you! I've been shrinking too, although not as much as you. I was about a size 22 on my surgery date. This morning, getting dressed to be on an interview panel at work, I took a chance that my size 18 three-piece suit would fit. It did! It felt so wonderful knowing that I'm on my way down--for the last time.

Here's to recapturing the lower end of our wardrobes!

I'm so happy for you. You must feel just wonderful. I went from a 26-22 pants so far also. I could probably squeeze my butt into a 20 but I am all about comfort.. lol

So it looks I will be bringing my boxing gloves to the clothing exchange tomorrow afterall.. LOL (Inside joke)

Oh and about the pear shaped thing.. girl I have the same thing.. I finally have bones in my shoulders.. and can't seem to find the ones in my hips..

Don't worry it all evens out somehow..
