Good morning, I celebrated my six month surgiversary yesterday - down 85 pounds. I've been married for 29 years, and I happen to have my wedding dress out because our daughter just got engaged and may wear it on her wedding day. Anyway, I decided to try it on and I zipped it up! Mind you, I was still bigger than I wanted to be on my wedding day, but I haven't been that size since then, so it felt pretty darn good. Then last night at the gym, I was able to stretch each quad by bending my knee and grabbing my foot from behind. I could never do that before! Just had to share. Have a nice day!

Hello, I know exactly what you mean! I'm down 50+ lbs. I've always exercised but recently I was delighted when I did what you did & found that I could actually kick myself! I can also bend in half & touch the floor easily. Flexibility is a good thing! It also means an end to back & knee aches, not to mention any kind of foot pain! Yahoo!

How funny....I was recently cleaning my basement and came across my wedding dress...I too tried on my dress and zipped it up. My kids thought I was insane, but I was having fun. I also came across some fur coats that belonged to my mother and grandmother (who were tiny women)...they too fit....I'm not an advocate for fur..but just to know that a coat that was my mothers and grandmothers fit was a great WOW moment for me
