Yay Katie! You are definitely looking great, and I think keeping that shirt for comparisons is a great idea! I have my outfit for that, though it's actually a tad big for me now (it's from my absolute heaviest in 2010, and I'm about 10 lbs less now). I'm so happy for you!
I haven't been on OH much lately because I'm busy helping take care of Carol, but I am excited for my upcoming first meeting with one of the TWH surgeons on Dec. 13th. It's tough to worry about myself these days, and plan for the surgery, but I am going to keep trying to get through all my appointments.
great job katie i know your journey has just started but its a long road ahead of greatness so keep it up and keep feeling beautiful
