almost 9 month update

Wow I haven't posted in a long time. A lot of things have happened. I started at 455lbs I was a size 34 now I am 325 I am in between a 22 and 24 jeans and 22/20 for everything else. I bought my first pack of normal hanes (size 10)underwear no more Just My Size for me. I have much more energy. This biggest and most shocking thing was I sent my husband a picture of me and he said I looked hot (hes deployed). he has never given me a compliment in the almost 10 years I have known him. Well I hope everyone else is doing good. Have a great day

You go girl. We started out at the same weight looks like you are well on your way. I know what you mean about the underwear thing. I just put on a size nine the other day from Catherines and I was shocked they fit. I can't wait to wear regular underwear. Lorraine

Sounds like you are doing great too!! I would have lost more but my PCP took me off my thyroid meds for two mos and I didn't lose anything for 3 mos. I was put back on the meds now I am losing again.

Congratulations on your weight loss! Sorry to hear that your husband is not there to see the great metamorphasis, but what a coming home surprise he will have!!!!! When is his tour of duty finished? We are proud of him and you. Keep up the good work! Karen

Thanks Karen, hes in the navy he should be home in April.

Thanks dorthe, losing weight just changes everything form the way others see you to the way you see yourself. I am happy that I just blend in with a crowd now.
