Yeah, size 18 jeans!
I was 9 weeks out on Thursday and I was able to get in and zip up my size 18 jeans this morning! I was a size 24 when I had surgery and even they were tight. The weight is really coming off now. I'm about to go down another 2lb tonight or tomorrow. This is really fun seeing how my body is changing each day!

Awesome feeling, isn't it? Of course, I'm not in the size 18's....yet!
Say good-bye to those two pounds with many more to follow, I'm positive!

Wow! You are doing awesome! I hope my weight keeps falling off like it is and I'll be with you soon! What kind of things are you eating to be doing so well? I was a size 26 at surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago and am already in a 24. I bought a size 22 pair of pants yesterday and plan to buy a size 20 when I get into those. One step at a time. I can't wait to get to 18 and then out of big sizes!

The changing size thing is wonderful. Now that you are going down it wont be so long when you can go on a major shopping spree and enjoy the wonderful fashions of the season. I recently did some of my shopping in the last month or two and I must say that living here in Italy has opened my eyes to some great clothes I have always wished I could wear. Unfortunately here clothes cost alot, but I managed to get some nice designer fashions for the spring and summer.
Cant wait to get back in the States in May and hit the Mall Outlet Store near where I will be visiting.
Keep up the great work and you'll be seeing sizes flying by you.

Congrats!! I cannot wait to hit 18. I was a 26/28 (almost a 28) when I had surgery...and now I am in a 20. ANd there is room so 18 will definetly be in a couple of weeks. I am losing more inches than pounds (I am kinda stalled right now) but I am super excited. I bought a pair of 20 shorts and 1 18/20 shirt and I look smokin!!!
Keep up the great work!!
