I shopped at H&M. It still hasn't sunk in yet.<br />
I bought new tops and pants for work, one of the tops being a Large. I don't remember EVER being able to fit in a large, it was always XL for me. And now that I've been wearing this size 16 sweater for a few hours...I realize I should have bought a 14. It's so very exciting!<br />
AND the rings (in size L) fit my fingers. I was realing.<br />
Then I got on the scale this morning, 210! 42 pounds down from my all time high in Feb. 08. I was 238 on the day of surgery...so that's...28 pounds since surgery on Aug. 4.<br />
I looked in the mirror and put on some make-up this morning. I feel absolutley beautiful!
11 pounds to ONE-DERLAND!!!

I am so happy for you!   You are doing wonderfully.  Cherish this and all wow moments as you have so many yet to come.  You will be in onederland before you know it!  Don't buy too many new things...go to thrift stores instead as you won't stay in those sizes for long!  Congrats!!!

Thanks Tam! I was thinking about hitting up the Thrift shops. I think I'd go broke trying to keep up with my body at this rate.

Hijack - Tam - love the new avatar!  I "expect" to see new ones as the little one grows!

Thanks, Cleo!  Kat is a doll and uploads them for me.  I have no clue how!  I plan on changing them frequently, if she will keep doing it for me!
