Sunflower Back!

[Sunflower]

Hi All, and welcome newbies! I've been off the forum for quite a while--a busy summer, let's say! I am well. I have maintained weight loss and have not really tried to lose anymore. Now, I'm getting back in gear to get rid of the final 40 pounds. It is just such a hoot to know I can walk into any store and find clothes that fit me. I'm a 10-12 now. I am still very glad I got sleeved. I hope you are all well. I am going to read some of the threads, now. But I just wanted to say "hi".

Welcome back - lovely to see you. Look forward to hearing more about your progress!

Welcome back! I've just come back, too. I need to get in gear, and I missed the support I felt here. I feel it could help me get back on track and finish off these last 40 or so lbs.

Well, Looky there!! Glad to see all is well and happy to have you back! We've missed you! You too StephO!!

Let's do this! Goal by Christmas! The last bit is the hardest it seems. More because of mental fatigue than anything else it seems to me.

Welcome back beautiful Sunflower!
Great to see you're doing so well.
Size 10-12 wow!
You know, I went to town and bought some size 16 undies this week and some dresses, simple and cheap -- called XL but from Asia so no way they fit before the op. It is so sweet to be able to buy clothes from the 'normal' size range -- so many to choose from and so much cheaper! I bought a whole new little wardrobe for less than I used to spend on one 'special' (size 24) dress. Can't wait to be even more compact. Size 12 is a dream.
Oh and my partner bought me a belt (aqua croc-skin, pretty flash) and it did up. The belt fit me! Only the second belt I've ever had in adulthood (the other one I'd kept in hope after previous weight loss).
Warm wishes and welcome home,
Nel
