 Heather,

Please don't worry about this.   You will probably put clothes on one day and they will be falling off you.    I lost probably 75 lbs. before anyone could even tell that I had lost any weight.   I see you had a high BMI.....sometimes people with higher BMI's have to loose much more weight before it is noticeable.   My highest BMI was 50.    Seems you always lose in the place first where you don't need to lose.   I lost in my problem area last.   Just keep doing what you are doing ( which is amazing to lose 100 lbs. in 2 months).   Don't worry about the clothes not going down yet.   It will just be patient.    

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Please remember that your body is going through lots of changes.  Do you have scales at home??  Are they digital??  If so, do they measure your body fat percentage??  If so, has that number changed since you had your surgery??  Are you exercising??  There are many different ways to spell success...yes, I know you want to start changing clothing sizes, but please remember that being healthier is the ultimate success, and you are well on your way to being that.  Dont give up the fight!!!

Have you taken your measurements?  I wore the same size forever, too.  Patience, grasshopper!!  Just keep following those healthy eating habits you need to establish to be successful both now and long-term.

Heather it takes a while initially to see clothing sizes changes BUT when they do watch out you'll be changing sizes so quickly you're going to be amazed.

Congrats on the weight loss, this is going to be an amazing year of changes for you.

you have done an awesome job loosing 100 lbs!!! That is an amazing feat! You will see a huge drop all of a sudden and it will be scary! Now you are loosing lbs then you will loose inches then lbs then inches. It is weird. My first 75 I knew I was loosing but jumped from a size 28 to a 14 and it seemed like overnight. never bought a size 22,20,18,or 16 just boom! Have you tried on smaller sizes yet. go and just try some things on you might suprise yourself! I thought I would loose my boobs first and they were the last to go and they went overnight!! My ass went first...what a shock...and I could rest a teacup on it at one time!! Just give your body time to adjust!

thanks everyone for the great words of encouragement. yes i exercise 6 times a week minimum of 2 hours a day. ive taken measurements and the only that has changed is my boob size. im super obsessed with working out my arms. i weigh myself every friday at the gym and i always have a crowd arouhnd me when i do it. they just want to see me succeed and are so happy for me even if its just 1lb lost. hopefully the next time i complain about something it will be because i have nothing to wear.
