Congratulations, Christine! You LOOK awesome, and I bet you FEEL even better!
You and I are on parallel journies -- I had my surgery a few days after you, and I too just started fitting into size 12. It blows my mind! I don't EVER recall being a size 12 -- maybe in junior high! From size 28 to 12 in less than a year -- how crazy-wonderful is that?!
I love your swimsuit -- especially the bottoms. I bought several boardie shorts to wear as bottoms to cover my saggy thighs (and because I think they're cool!) -- and tankini tops, although finding ones that hold up my less-ample-but-still-quite-ample chest took some hunting. For the first time perhaps ever as an adult I feel comfortable being at the pool and don't feel the need to cover up quickly.
I just joined a new community center and I realized that in the fitness classes, everyone ONLY knows me as a capable participant -- NOT as the morbidly obese woman who has to modify the entire class to keep up!
HAPPY DAYs, indeed!
Best for continued success and joy,
Laura

Thanks so much, Laura!
I have loved being in a swimsuit, and as you notice I was wearing a tank and shorts to swim in last year. How sad was that?!?!?! And it took me quite a while to find one that fit my chest, as well.
Love your pictures and I'm so happy for the both of us on our progress!

Wow u look great.....where did you go. I have lost 98 lbs but I don't think I look any where near as good as you. I have stalled and I don't understand how everyone else is further along at this point than I am. Fat just loves me and won't let go. Guess I was never meant to weigh in the 100's. But you look great and u should be proud.
