At surgery I wore size 50 pants. A few weeks ago I bought 42's. They were tight but the 44's were loose. Now, the 42's are a bit lose!

I've already drilled two holes in the leather belt I bought this summer and it's not tight anymore so today I'm making a third hole. It's nice to make holes to make the belt tighter. 

I've lost 56 lbs since September 1 and I have 48 lbs to go. I'm over halfway!

It is a great feeling isnt it?! It is so weird to shop in the "small" size section at the store.. I still feel like I need a 3xl but am in a size M now.. Do you ever walk by a mirror and surprise yourself? and kinda "forget" that you lost so much weight and you look different now? Lol

Can't wait to have that feeling!! It's been decades since dressing, shopping, packing for a trip hasn't been stressful! I use to stress over size 16 and XL.  Now I'm wearing 22 and 3XL! I don't look in the mirror and when I do see a reflection in a door or picture, I don't recognize myself. Getting ready to go in 10 days!!!

I lost weight once before in my life... Of course, I gained all but 30 lbs of it back. With the help of diet pills and a low-carb diet, I went from 355 to 215.

I remember it took forever before I felt thin. I didn't feel it or see it in the mirror. Once I did, I startled myself in the mirror all the time! It was very strange. I can't wait to feel strange again. LOL
