Happy and another Wow Moment!!

Hi August Buddies! The scale has moved again and I am -41.5 pounds lighter. Today I am wearing a blouse that a friend gave me for Christmas or my birthday from the 1990's. I have never been able to wear it and it is so beautiful, I just couldn't bring myself to ever get rid of it. So today, I went into my closet and decided to try on this new outifit I got that is a 1X...doesn't quite fit, but this blouse was next to it and I thought, "Why not?" I can't believe that I am actually wearing it today. I never thought I would, but goes to show you, miracles do happen. I am also wearing new pants that came yesterday from Lane Bryant. They are a true size 24WP and they fit absolutely perfect. My lower body has always been bigger and it is hard to ever find anything other then knit pants to fit me, plus I'm short (5'1") so I either have to get them and cut them off or try to find petites. When you wiegh what I weigh, petites are hard to come by. I feel so pretty today and will have my sis take a picture to post on my profile in this outfit. This is a true milestone for me. Thanks for letting me let my excitement out! Lori 293/251.5/130 BMI 55.4/47.5/24.7

Hi Lori, that is such exciting news! I read your profile last night and just want to say I think you are doing great! It makes me smile to read your words..."I feel so pretty today". That is FANTASTIC!!!! Diane

Hi Diane, I just saw that you are from Oviedo. I'm from Rockledge, FL just on the Eastcoast near Cocoa. I also see that Dr. Kim was your surgeon. I went to a support group meeting back in May that he held and was impressed, but he wasn't on my insurance, so I went with Dr. Overcash in Ocala. Small world on this site sometimes! Thanks for the encouraging words and hopefully at some point we Floridian WLS folks will meet up. Lori 293/251.5/130

Lori, Way to go!!! Keep up the good work!!! Rocquetta

Girlfriend! You just brag away.... we can both be skinny "*****" braggers together! lol. You look WONDERFUL and I bet you feel so much better too! I have a couple pairs of pants I'm DYING to fit into, not yet... but ALMOST. Each week I take them out, try them on... and am getting closer and closer to being able to ZIP them LOL>
