My progress has been slower than I planned, but I'm proud to say I love that I can cross my legs and paint my toes. It may not sound like much but it's a victory. The leg crossing isn't dangling and swinging like I want but in due time. Just happy I can do it. Love my sleeve

    I love that I can touch my knee to my forehead. Completely useless skill but I don't care :)

    Ok, so I have a victory to share as well. I donated a boat load of clothes size 28 - 22. I still have a closet full because I am a shopaholic, nonetheless, I purchased some motivational clothes in a size 14-16. I tried them on this past Sunday.....and they FIT!!! I would most likely wear a girdle with them, but they FIT!

    That's really good news. I am enjoying moving back in time in my closet wearing clothes that I had to put away when I outgrew them or they just didn't look right stretched across my body. It certainly feels good!

    Keep up the great work!

    I am 3 years out and have always lost slower. At first this frustrated me but now I realize I'm still going down, still working towards goal and still buying smaller clothes every time I need to replace, so it's all good! Congratulations on your abiity to cross your legs! Funny thing, I just discovered on Saturday that I can cross my legs! Amazing how these simple things make us feel so good about our decision to have WLS! :wink:

    Awesome Claresta! I wear a 16-18 now and depending on the cut will add a shaper just to keep all the extra, loose skin from flopping around or ruining the line! Yeah, the shaper also helps hide my hernia too!

    Trust me, I am positive you can fit a 14-16 from the Avenue! I am not in a Target size 14/16, lol I haven't tried it yet, but I seriously doubt it!
