Holy crap

Ok, so after seeing Donna's pictures (the ones with the same outfit every month) I decided to go through my dresser and find the one 'fat' outfit I have left. I've given away 3-4 big garbage bags of clothing in the past couple of months but I kept my Ellen shirt which I got from her show when I went last year (size XL, men's) and my old favourite pair of jeans (MXM, size 22). I loved these jeans, but could only wear certain tops with them because of my buldging stomach. And the shirt I used to have to stretch out with my elbows before wearing. I tried this outfit on once in July, but didn't notice that much of a different...needless to say, I was disappointed! Anyhoo, I threw everything on and I have to hold my pants up because they don't even stay on! And the shirt is practically down to my knees now. It's even huge in the sleeves. And I thought my arms hadn't shrank at all! I'm definitely going to need a few pictures tomorrow when someone's around to take them. I'm just looking at the pictures I took in this outfit 2 weeks before my surgery and I can hardly recognize myself.

Definatly get someone to take your picture in it now and I will stitch the two together for you!!! Can't wait to see it!!! Oh and have you noticed your feet shrinking? I have to go buy new shoes. My feet are swimming in them! Donna

LOL Chantal! Britt bought me a cute pair of pajamas and that's what I take my monthly picture in. It shocks me every month. Mark has to take my 4 month pics tomorrow or tonight. I did keep my jeans and put a pair on for Britt yesterday. I thought she would pee herself laughing. Both of us can fit in them now. LOL I didn't notice how HUGE I was until my father-in-law emailed me pics of us from Thanksgiving. Can you say Michelin man? And I thought I looked cute in my outfit. LOL Take those monthly pics. You'll be shocked at how much you're changing when you don't think you are. I got on my size 16 slim jeans last night. I also have a cute story going on my blog today with a picture. My mom was in hysterics. I'm glad my weight loss amuses these people. LOL Have a great day!!!!! * Cyndi *

Don't forget to stitch my pictures together when you have time!! =)

I won't jsut had to have dh get the network to work so I could pull them off one pc to the one I use for pictures. I will have it finished soon! Donna

It's crazy, isn't it?? A good kind of crazy... I posted a picture of me standing in my old jeans on my page. I kept one pair of jeans and the outfit that I had my original "before" pictures taken in. I think it helps me realize that my body is really shrinking. You should definitely take pics!! Kathy

I gave away a lot of clothes but I have some lounge around the house dresses that I wear and they are getting longer and longer. One of them that was about 4 inches below my knee is now to my ankles. When they hit the floor, they go to the goodbye bag. It's so much fun seeing the clothes get baggier and baggier. I finally had to buy some new undies because I spent the entire day walking around pulling them up. I went from a size 10 to a 6 (only in undies). But I can almost wear a size 16 pants and I am in a 14 top. You are doing so great Chantal and I know you are probably really seeing a difference in your clothes too. Keep it up because you look beautiful. Hugs, Esther

You've done awesome!! Can't wait to see new pics!!

Pics were added to my blog! I really need to take more full-body shots...my self-perception was totally off

I loved the pictures, you are doing so good and look beautiful. Keep up the great work! Hugs, Esther
