My DH and I are going to YMCA Family Camp this next weekend, and I figured I'd better get a few more clothes.  Well, I got size 18 pants and sweatshirt/jacket, and 16/18 tops and PJs.  I know 16/18s are really 18s, but still - just seeing the 16 was amazing.  The last time I wore a size 16 was in 1977.  When I started this journey, I was in 28s!  Yeehaw - ain't WLS grand?

Thank you all for your encouragement.  I'm not sure if I'm more excited about doing it or about telling everyone I did it!  The kudos mean a whole lot after years of being the "fat woman."  I am just so stoked.  I went through my dresser and got almost all of the old clothes out.  It looks so clean and neat and half-empty now...  And that is with still keeping all the 22s, 20s, and 18s.  I still need to get to the very bottom stuff - which are the turtlenecks and sweat clothes and Christmas clothes.  Those all need to go, too, except for a couple of sweatshirts that only my husband could wear before.  --  Carol

Hey Carol!!!!

That is sooo great!!!!  But don't get too use to that size 16, because you will be shrinking out of them soon too!!!!

It is such a great feeling!!  Enjoy every second of it and keep up the great work!!!!

Soo happy for you!
