I feel overwhelmed with everyones support both in the chat forum and the outside world. My weight loss has been and still is an incredible adventure. I have gone from a size 22/24 to a size 14/16. Yesterday I bought a pair of size 14 pants from a women's specialty store. My friend who works there said "You won't be able to shop here much longer because a size 14 is the smallest we carry." That was music to my ears. I've always wanted to be able to shop in regular shops and into the regular size departments of department stores.I know many of you can probably relate to what I am saying. I use to feel like a second rate person because the large sizes in department stores are usually on the very top floor or the very bottom floor with the appliances,children's clothes or lingerie. Well it won't be long before I won't have to shop in the basement or attic! I can tell from my clothes and before&after photos that I have shrunk substantially. Taking pictures along the way has really helped me see what others are seeing. I get called skinny a lot, this too is music to my ears. I am a long ways from being skinny I still have 50 pounds to lose but that's okay I know I can do it. I feel really good physically as well. I no longer suffer from all the symptoms that come with eating the wrong foods and being overweight. I no longer have digestive problems nor do I wake up in the middle of the night feeling like someone has been holding a pillow over my face and to top it all off my blood pressure is normal (very normal). Who would of thought that in just a little over 5 months that I would be 80 pounds lighter and 80 inches smaller? The 6WBMO has literally been a life saver for me. I am so glad I followed my heart and ordered the program.

I just couldn't be happier reading your post. You are a first class act and should never feel like a bargin basment woman! You have done great and you should be really proud!
Welcome to the losers club and great news on the quote of the month - I hope they run out of room for all the successes people are posting here.

that's just awesome!
I can't wait for the day when I can shop for clothes, and not have to go into the fat section.
Congratulations on your loss!

I am so happy for you. You look FAB! I know what you mean about being able to shop anywhere! I used to be able to shop at all the little shops and since I gained weight I was limited to what fit as opposed to what is fashionable. Things are different now. In my closet right now are clothes that I have purchased though I said I would wait to shop because I look like I am swimming in the clothes I wore before I started the program! I am so happy about that and I will do this program for the rest of my life to keep feeling the way I do when I see myself....and watch my husband checking me out!

Congrats to you on your super weight loss so far!!! I hear you when you say that your digestive problems have improved substantially on this program - it's all about eating the right foods and not all that processed stuff. Great job and wish you the best!!!

Great going girl!!!! You ARE an inspiration to all!!

I am so happy for you .. I have lost 12 lbs and bought a new pr of jeans this last week...I was able to buy in the non plus size.. I bought jeans in the non plus zone.. I flet so HAPPY...it's been over 6yrs and it felt wonderful!I wish my story was as wonderful as yours and would inspire others as much but right now.. but I can't I've been here for 4 weeks and my story is nothing near your but I feel great none the less.. maybe someday I'll be there..but I keep tugging along.. not as good as you but I making it... and that feels wonderful..just last week a co-worker asked if I was on "another diet" and I waited for the punch line .. he said I looked really good like I had lost a bunch... Man all mighty I was floating.. for almost 3days.. I hugged him and thanked him I could have floated that day..I knew what was happening but didn't know any one else did ...well now that I have put everyone to sleep with a me story... my hat is off to you... and I pray that I can do what you have have!!!you are my model and I wish you the best!!!Thank you for being brave and telling us what you have done.. I need you!!!

Your story is so inspirational. I need these posts. Thank you!!! I am tired of huffing and puffing and not being as active as what I had been in the past. I am afraid to go in to a store and be disappointed in not finding any thing that looks half way decent--not like a tent or very old ladyish. It usually happens as all the cute stuff that I see is in the misses section, not the women's section. I know some designers make nice looking clothes but it would be nice for once and for all to go into a normal store and not worry about looking for pants with elastic waist bands any more !!!!!!! These posts help me to realize how much more there is out there and what I miss from my slenderer years and how the weight has affected me physically over the years. These posts help to to get the inspiration to stick with it. We can do it!!!! Many blessings.

You are truly an inspiration......It's stories like yours that keep me going...I am so proud of you.... thank you again for sharing your success. I also have 50 more pounds to loose and sometimes the end of the road seem so far away. But I know that if I make small goals the road doesn't seem as long. Keep up the good work.
