Told hubby this am that the subtitle of this adventure so far is, "wow, me?!?!"

Scale at 199.3 this am.

New clothes arrived yesterday: now a size L/16 (no "W" at Talbots, and I have a pretty outfit to wear for my upcoming meetings in London. Cost: $35 thanks to sales and Goodwill. I bought my first size 14, too - a duplicate skirt (for $22, how could I go wrong?) Also got new jeans - both Lee size 18 and 16 fit. 18s are perfect at the moment, 16s are a little tight, but give it 2-3 weeks and things will change.

Now on our way out the door to a huge Jeep event for a good cause: http://sheriffsjeepfest.com/

Happy Saturday, y'all!

Laurie

Isn't it wonderful?  Last weekend I had a t-shirt on, and was annoyed because it would slip down and show half my boobies.  I thought it had stretched, but when I took it off I realized it was an XL, which fit me perfectly in May, and now I need to give it to Goodwill.  I had bought the same shirt in L and so never noticed the difference until I picked up the wrong size!

I'm in a size 10 bottoms now, and have actually bought several size 8's in anticipation.  They're still in the package 'cuz my loss is going reallllllyyyyy slow right now, but I can't wait to open them up and try them on!

Welcome to Onederland Laurie!

Laurie you put a smile on my face. I am so happy for you. I know you are thrilled. I started at size 16/18 and just purchased all size 4 and a couple size 2. Who knows where you will land. Thank you for sharing. Doing a happy dance for you.

Yay for you!! So excited to have read this post!! You should be sooooo proud.

Congratulations!  Very exciting.  I just spent last weekend going through my closet (again) and I have so many things to haul off to goodwill.  Some of the clothes I never got a chance to wear and still have tags on them but I've had them for several years.  They were buried behind clothes that fit prior to surgery and even though I've only lost 28 lbs since my pre op diet and surgery I've skipped over those sizes.  Puts a smile on your face.  Now I can wear a lot of things I had been hoping to get a chance to wear or to wear again.  I'm very pleased.

Congrats on the SV and the NSVs!!

SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! WHOO HOO!!! 

Look at you! I mean, put those clothes on, and really, go look at you in the mirror! Smile big, and tell yourself how proud you are, to have worked so very hard, and come so very far. Well, done, pretty girl, keep it going! Bonnie

Great job!  Whooohooo!

Laurie - woohoo! In Onederland AND dropping sizes like crazy . You are doing so great!
