Suprer excited!!!!!!!! I just got back from an awesome vaction in Disney World! I got on all the little kid rides (kids are 5 and 3) which I wouldn't have gotten on last summer! I had soooo much fun, BUT by far the best part of the entire trip, is that I didn't have to struggle to get the seat belt on! I have lost 33 pounds and I didn't think it was going to make a difference, but it did! A dream that you wish really will come true :)

That is awesome!! I know those moments of getting on the plane and holding your breath, figuratively and literally, hoping it fits.  Shoot, I obsess weeks before the plane ride.  I feel like I have to compress myself into this little ball of person and press up against the window or the aisle just so I don't have to be embarassed.  Godforbid I end up in the middle seat!!!  I'm hoping that when I go on my cruise a year from now that I won't be obsessing about that at all!

I am glad you had a great time and that NSV was awesome for you!

I remember that day ---- congratulations!!!!

One of my biggest NSV's (non-scale victories) is that I can comfortably sit in my seat on an airplane and KNIT ---- I used to be too big to be able to move my arms that much.

This is just the start of so many wonderful experiences for you ---- enjoy every one of them!

 That is soooooooooo great!!!  I can't wait for our next vacation when I can fit in that airplane seat and keep the arm down and not have to take up part of my bf's seat.

Congrats!!!

Singing to the choir! That one one of the lap band goals I set for myself and I was so happy to reach it. That seat belt thing was the most anxiety filled moments that I had and I am so glad I don't have to focus on this anymore when I fly.
