I bought a size 16 skirt!!!!
Denise!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!
Ya know, I have this friend named Jessica. she was a blonde happy cheerleader in high school but she always had a bit extra poundage and huge boobies so she didn't look as thin as she probably could. and she had this crazy blonde curly hair and this outrageous attitude. I once told her "now, don't think wrong of this, but you remind me of Ms. Piggy!" I think she was offended at first and then she realized that I am a HUGE muppets fan (yeah, I have a problem). Still to this day, her facebook profile lists Miss Piggy as one of her heroes. :)
Anywoo..... I totally am so proud of you and your size accomplishments. I am where you are right now too. The sucky thing is that we are in this in-between size that is too small for Lane Bryant and too big for some of the other "skinny" stores.... but we are SOOO close girlie!
I, too used to wear the biggest size I could find so it would cling to my rolls... now I put stuff on and hubby is like... "uhm, aren't you going to wear more than just that?" . lol. well, I wasn't GONNA.

Don't you need to come deliver something to campus so I can come give you a hug? You are a RIOT, Bob!!!
Yeah, I'm on the verge of those window shade boobs--long, thin and you gotta roll 'em up.
Don't worry, maybe I'll buy some boobies when this is all said and done! Heh heh.
Hugs to ya, you big goof!

Window shade boobies, UNITE! I must say it certainly makes getting a mammogram easier when all you have to do is unfurl the thing on the machine!
I still grapple with the nothing tastes as good as skinny feels thing. I get it, but it hasn't truly clicked yet. I hope it kicks in to over drive when I get to 199.8!!! Ahhhh, that's what they mean!

Thanks, Missy!
I love the Muppets, too. Crap! I just tried to do a Miss Piggy imitation and it came out like Yoda vomiting Grover. Damn you, Frank Oz!!!
This is quite exciting. I am almost contemplating getting some jeans, but it is toooo hot outside for that. It did feel weird, though, being closer to the bottom end of the sizes instead of the top end. Almost a state of panic. How will I cope shopping in stores with a broader variety of clothes. (must sit with head between knees--breathe!) I have a little while longer, for sure, to cope with this new reality. Whew.
Poor Kenny!!! As the new Missy emerges, he seems to be getting li'l surprises right and left. I wasn't GONNA--hahahahahaha! I LOVE MY WLS FRIENDS!!!!! It was worth the copay and surgical recovery just to meet great people like you guys!!! The pounds and inches lost are like a bonus!

OMG, Amy, you have first dibs on anything of mine you want!
I'm wearing one of my 18/20 shirts right now and I love it!!! Super cute and I do look much smaller in clothes that actually FIT! Go figure.
This is super fun and I can't wait to go prancing around at the clinic tomorrow when I go to meet Jessica! Yaaaay!
HUGS!!!!
