Just wanted to share and exciting WOW for me! I was able to wear a pair of size 12 shorts on Saturday. Amazing. They were a bit tight around the tummy still (when will my tummy ever go away??), but I wore them! I haven't worn a 12 in more than 16 years! I'm about 5 lbs from my lowest weight in that time frame....hoping to make it to onederland by the end of this month. My mind is saying that it's likely that fitting into a 12 has a lot more to do with the fact that clothes sizes have increased in size in the past decade, than with my actual size. But it still feels good! I was a tight 20 before surgery....so that still a 4 size drop since January, right? That's not to say that I can wear a 12 of everything. I'm still wearing 16s and 14s in some things, and my arms are still not allowing me to wear much smaller tops (though I did wear a Large yesterday, instead of the 2x I was wearing in January). It's funny how I keep rationalizing my drop in size! Why don't I just claim it???? Woohoo!! Margaret

That is awesome!! Stop trying to rationalize your WOW moment away...the clothes were the same size in Jan that they are today...so you have drop four sizes and that is awesome! Way to GO!!!
