Just feeling happy.
Weighed myself today hoping to see (please please please) 211 (been at 212-213 for about 2 weeks) and woooo hooo it was 210. Day two of good days...Yesterday without too much trouble I talked my husband into a trip to Jamaica in March. We have a group of friends who go every year for the last 10 years, we went a couple of times but haven't been in 5 years. So excited.. In the good/news bad news catagory, I have no summer clothes that fit me, don't want to buy too many outfits as I plan (will) be losing another 45 pounds at minimum!!! All in all after 3 really bad months life is still great and getting even better.
Agree with thrift stores. Also ask your surgeons office if anyone there coordinates a clothing swap. Mine has a huge one. You just contact the woman with the clothes and meet with her and she can give you lots of any size. It's nice to donate too big clothes to them, too, and know they're going to other women who are on the same downward path.

Congrats!! Always such a good feeling when the scale finally moves!
Yes..thrift stores for sure! Even Walmart can be good for inexpensive clothing. Especially for a trip where you will mostly be in your bathing suit every day. Won't need too many clothes. For day trips..just a pair or two of shorts or capris..1 or 2 T-shirts..a sundress..and couple of mix and match outfits for the dinners at night and you're good to go!
Enjoy!!
