I DID IT!!!!!

Hi All, I know it has been some time since I posted but I do read up on all of you pretty regularly. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!!! You are all doing an absolute wonderful job and should be really proud of yourselves. I wanted to share my totally exciting news with all of you. As some of you know I started this journey last January at 334 and my main goal was to be able to call Romans, Lane Bryant, Sillhouttes etc. and ask them to remove me from their mailing list because I am too small to wear their clothes. Well, I DID IT!!! I am down to 171 have lost a grand total of 163 pounds and have 21 pounds to go. I went from a size 28/30 (3X-4X) to 10 on bottom L on top (the girlies won't let me get any smaller on top...... YET! hee hee hee) So officially I can not (nor do I choose too) wear their clothes. I will try to get a more updated photo in here but I can not figure out how to get the picture in picture like some of you have. Thank you for sharing in my journey and accomplishments. God Bless you all. Hugs, Sonja San Diego, CA (open RNY 9/9/04 334/282/171~goal 150)

You Go!! That is sooo awesome. I felt so happy too when I canceled my Lane Bryant credid card. They are still mailing me though. I'll have to call a number off of the next one I get. Congrats!! 163 pounds lost is INCREDIBLE!!! Enjoy Cali this summer! -Katie

Sonja - You go girl! I can't believe your weight loss--that's incredible! I'm sticking to my Oprah contract but it has been a mental struggle. You are almost to goal, way to go! HUGS, Sandy

Sonja ~ I'm so happy for you! And what an inspiration it was to read your story. I, too, am an avid LB shopper, but am now wearing size 16s from there. I am 25 pounds from the goal my surgeon set for me, and I'm down 124 pounds as of today. I plan on continuing to shop at LB, however, because they carry tall pants (I'm 5'10") and I have a hard time finding talls anywhere else. So there's no way I'm destroying my platinum card! Enjoy life and your accomplishments.
