Tomorrow I will be 7 weeks out, and I just recently had to go buy a new pair of jeans for my new job.. I never expected my day though. I went to Fashion Bug today and figured since I was a 32 at my surgery date, and I knew I have lost over 50 pounds, I figured ok 28 would be good. Well those were too big. So I try on 26s, too big, and the 24 fit perfectly...When I started this journey I made a promise to myself that I would not base my weighloss by the scale number or size, but how I felt. I do not weigh myself only at my doctors, I have a scale and I put it away. I stood there in the dressing room dancing..(im sure the saleslady thought I was nuts). Many times I would read posts about how people went down in clothing sizes and really honestly had never got excited over clothes..but today I realized my life is going to change Finally..It was the change that amazed me..

Best of Luck, Charmaine
