an amazing number...

greetings all

something amazing happened to me the other day...i've been wearing size 12s for quite sometime -- and holding them up with belts. because of the skin on my legs, i wasn't able to wear a smaller size. well, i had plastics on my thighs at the end of july, and i decided that the swelling was reduced enough to see if i could wear 10s...and OMG, i can wear size 8!!! i was dancing in the fitting room! single digit sizing -- i don't remember EVER wearing single digits.

i weighed a new all-time low saturday, too. 166. i started at 463!  the good times just go on and on!

How cool is that!? What a great story to start my Monday with!

I am very proud of you!  INCREDIBLE!

thank you! it was really funny -- i wore a pair of size 8 pants and got comments all day about "have you lost more weight?"...i said, not really, just wearing pants that fit me! what fun!

That is great, Deb!  I am so happy for you.  You've come a very long way.  Oh, I remember the days of being able to wear an 8 (maybe even an occasional 6!).  But... since I had my baby girl 9 1/2 months ago, I have yet to drop the last 25 pounds and am hanging out in 12s and 14s.  It has been very worth it, though.  I'm fairly certain I can drop the last bit of weight if I would start execising again, which I definitely will do after Christmas!  Keep up the great work!  You've been an amazing role model for me and lots of others, I'm sure!

Take Care,
Tanja

As others have said, what a great post for Monday morning.

You have made such awesome progress. I can't remember single digits ever either - unless we are talking hats or shoes.

Congratulations!
