Today is my 1 year anniversary!

You will get there!  Trust me, you will be amazed at the changes that happen so quickly!

I am already seeing the changes... at less than a month out - I need new jeans!  I am down 2 sizes!  I knew they were falling off me, but I was thinking one size, but I tried on jeans in Catherine's tonight and a 30 fit me!  I have not been in a 30 for at least 5 years!!!

And I walked out of Catherine's with nothing!  I was NOT paying $36-50 for a pair of clearance jeans that will only fit a short time... I will deal with baggy jeans for a while longer! 

That's great! Congratulations!  I know what you mean about not buying expensive clothes when you grow out of them so quickly.  I bought some stuff on eBay when I was changing sizes rapidly.  I think I got a lot of 3 sweaters for about $4 (including shipping)!

I quit wearing my coat this winter because I had bought a smaller one, but then it just got to be ridiculous looking on me.  So I either wore heavy sweaters or my husband's hoodies. 

I bought a lot of stuff at Walmart because it is just so cheap.  The only time I bought expensive clothes was when I had to go to a funeral and I had absolutely nothing dressy to wear since I had long grown out of all of my nicer clothes.  I went to Avenue, but I had a gift card, so it didn't hurt as much. 

Even now I'm constantly walking around hiking my pants up.  I feel like one day they fit fine and the next they are falling down on me.

Happy surgiversary and congrats on your continued success!! 

Thanks!!
