Hi everyone. I'm new to this group and have had a few since my May surgery. The first was having to slide my car seat forward because my belly wasn't taking up the room anymore. I remember almost crying tears of happiness.1

I found a stray dog in my yard last week and went next door to ask my neighbor about it. When his wife came out she asked me where I lived. Because she didn't even recognize me. (I had also gotten a haircut, but still!)

I'm 2 weeks post op and last night I showed my daughter that I could pull my foot up and rest it on my other leg..lol She kind of looked at me like "Ok?? why are you showing me this" (She is 14) I told her I couldn't do that before. Then she said nice job Mom...Gotta love those teen agers.2

Wearing a pair of sandals with an ankle strap that doesn't dig in!2

The belt I just bought in July is on the last hole. Blew through 4 notches..
And my car's driver's side feels roomier. no more leg rubbing on the door.
and a non-victory. My office chair now hurts my butt. guess I lost some padding in the upper legs and butt.1 -

Haven't had surgery yet, still in the waiting/qualifying stage but after a month of logging, and another month of making diet changes and sticking to a calorie limit and boosting exercise: 10lbs down, 23 inches lost overall. My 4x clothes are getting looser, there are times that I actually feel full now (not a state of constant hunger), I was able to mow our yard without using the self propel feature on the mower and without taking a break d/t breathing issues and the best one- hubby was able to wrap his arms all the way around my shoulders for a hug for the first time in a long time.
Definitely motivation to keep going.1 -

Got fitted for a real bra finally yesterday. I went from a 42J to a 34I - the fitter was astounded. Thought my purchase record was wrong but I assured her it was not. The new one only has 2 hooks in back. At first I was like 'No way is 2 hooks gonna do it' but it did! Now I have to wait 2 weeks for the color I ordered to come in. So exciting!3

I was a little tired of getting "new to me" clothes at the thrift store, so Friday night I went and bought a couple of new things at Target. My first surprise was trying on shirts - I grabbed the Large size, thinking I'd try it out just to try it (I usually wear XL), and it ended up being too big so I ended up getting a Medium instead. I don't think I've worn a medium ANYTHING since middle school. Secondly, I grabbed a pair of 12 jeans as an incentive to work toward (I'm in 14s now and they're a comfortable fit). Well, I tried those on last night just to see how far I need to go and they actually fit now! Granted, the material is a bit stretchy, but still!
Also, congrats on conquering the "obese" BMI label, @cabennett99!3 -

I am going to buy a belt for the first time since I was a teenager. I have never needed a belt because I would never consider tucking my shirt into my pants. I'm now ready to consider that option and buy a white oxford shirt to tuck into my black pants, with a belt for the pants. I have always loved that look but never been able to wear it.2
