Karen, you are doing fantastic! Isn't it amazing that as the weight drops off we get a surge of energy and newfound happiness in the smallest things? Seems like just posting and sharing your journey sends out beams of radiant happiness. I share your enthusiasm and joy! I'm so happy for you! You waited so long for this journey to begin and now you're full blown into it and rapidly getting those WOW's. You go girl!

60!
I stepped on the scale this morning - LOL, see that name at the bottom of my signature? I am definitely a Scale Whore!! Anyway - I am down to 213 - I'm down 60 pounds from my official weight when I first saw my surgeon and it feels incredible!
My closet is empty! Now that I know I don't have to have all of my work/dress clothes, I got rid of all of them too - LOL, not that they fit anyway! I bagged up 4 of the big black trash bags full of clothes and took them to a thrift store yesterday. It felt good to be able to get rid of all of that extra stuff - now I just wish I could replace it all!

LOL, yes Paige, you were trying to knock some sense into me at around 3 weeks when I hit my first stall!
Thanks for the encouragement!

Look at you go - DOWN, DOWN, DOWN! That is fantastic - 60 lbs gone forever. I cannot wait to say this.
Just remember not to spend a ton of money on clothers. Shop at that thrift store because you will not be wearing them for long. I plan to go shopping in a friends closet the first time I need to look for smaller clothes. After that I think I am going to call one of the ladies from the support group and see what she did since we live in the same small town in GA.
You look AWESOME Karen!

Another HUGE wow moment!
Once again the scale is stuck - but that's okay!!
I ordered jeans a couple of weeks ago from Old Navy when they were on sale for $12 each.
I ordered smaller sizes - 14, 12 and 10.... I'm currently wearing 18s, working on my 16s, depending on the style....
I decided to try the 14s on - and they fit!! They're not jeans that I would wear every day yet - they're still snug but they FIT!
