Feeling good!!

Hello I never really post here just read sometimes, but I had surgery Febuary 23 this year and am down 91 pounds, I cant really tell that much when I look in the mirror, but last night I was going through some of my old clothes, a few size 22 and 20 pants and a 3 x shirt, I couldnt belive it but when I put them on they fell right off!!! I was so excited, and I also could not belive that I was that big, or it just seemed so weird, the clothes were so huge compared to me, and I wonder if thats how big people seen me before, I am doing so good though, I just wanted to write about that and get my feelings out, thanks for listening!!!! Michelle

CONGRATS!!!!! It's great isn't it? I was at hot topic the other day, and they had this shirt I really like on clearance, but only a 2x was left. I thought 'oh, it won't be that big on me.' But when I tried it on, I looked like a little girl wearing mommy's clothes. I can't believe those types of shirts used to be big on me.

Hello Michelle! I too am feeling good! I had my surgery the same date as you and have lossed 88 pounds. However, I am five foot seven and large bone. I am part Choctaw and Cherokee along with German and Irish. I have recently given away 3 bags of clothes and have been selling some on ebay. However, I might do better having a garage sale....I haven't made much money on the clothes. My husband took me shopping this month and has bought me some new slacks and shirts and some really nice party dresses for going out on the town. Another cool thing, I can wear cute under clothes now and I feel so good when I look at myself and I am not that fat any more! I can do alot more now than I have been able to do in a while. I know you will lose more and look great! We are losing about the same, but you have lossed a few more pounds than me! Keep up the good work Girl! Talk to you soon! Tamela Pittman

Hi! I had my surgery 2/23 also. I am 5'6, started at 258 and am now 172 for a loss of 86 pounds. I lift weights 3 times a week and walk when I can. I was a size 24 now I'm a 12!! WOOHOO!! I too still see myself fat but people tell me how great I look all the time. People at work and my husband all say "Hey skinny " all the time. I'm working on getting insurance approval for a breast reduction. I don't think there is much hope of getting insurance to pay for the tummy tuck so not really working on that yet. It is a lot harder to lose now for me. I have to really work at it. I would like to get to 150-160 without the work 145-155 with the work done. I was 145 when I got married 18 years ago and after 2 kids I'm not sure if I can get quite that low again.One can hope though!I also have a lot more muscle now then I did back then and muscle weighs more than fat. I've lifted weights off and on for years now. Janice 258/172/150-160 my goal
