That's a fantastic feeling and accomplishment.

I lost 88-lbs in 2009 (huge dedication and determination). The first new clothes I bought, actually my husband bought for me for Christmas, all had to go back to the Pennington's store. In his defense it was the sizes that threw him off. Anyhow, I was astonished to learn I had gone from a tight 3x to XL in 9 months. Another few pounds and I was officially kicked out of Pennington's. it was a fabulous feeling. My husband was my greatest supporter. The people I worked with keep telling me how great I looked, but whispered behind my back. They refused to believe I had made a lifestyle change, they truly believed I was secretly hiding a terminal illness.

I'm done my rant. Seriously great news, enjoy your cruise. You deserve it!
