And here I am today. Weighing in at 167. In my brand new Big Star jeans (that's the brand...I didn't make it up). 
I couldn't have imagined being here. But I sure am thankful I made it. And I am glad my girlfriend made me go back into the store and try on jeans. I still don't feel like I fit in. I still feel like the sales girls are looking at me and saying "Lane Bryant is down a few doors". But I am normal (well, as normal as I can get). And it feels good.
If I did it. You can do it.
You ARE doing it.
Speechless. Yup, that's me. OK, the jeans look amazing. Really. You've lost an entire person-you should name the bitch and tell her she isn't welcome anymore!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a transformation! I've seen your before and after pics before but they never fail to inspire!
ReplyDeleteSmokin' HOT! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great transformation! I am so inspired by your story. Found your website yesterday and read every one of your posts from the start to finish. Quite a story and I'm so happy for you to feel as good as you do and to have found true love! I'm only about four months in but 50 pounds down. I honestly hope I can continue on the same path as you did and get out of LB clothes!! :) Thanks for your words of hope!
ReplyDeleteBig Star is the perfect name! Love those jeans. You look amazing. What an incredible transformation!! So happy to be on this road with you! :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Absolutely inspirational!!!

ReplyDeleteLookin' good, Amy!
ReplyDeletei get to go shopping next weekend for the first time since starting this process and at 70lbs down and a size 14 i'm excited and scared that i can no longer rely on LB or Avenue... I don't know WHERE to shop.... and how crazy that i will be able to buy something because it LOOKS good and not just because it actually fits!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe those pix are of the same person! You are adorable at ANY size, but holy freak girl! What a sexy thing you are!
ReplyDeleteSpeechless is definitely one of them!
ReplyDeleteNICE ASS!
Dude!
ReplyDeleteI want to bounce quarters off that ass.

ReplyDeleteOkay, I may be emotional, but that brought a tear to my eye!

ReplyDeleteI love the way you ended your post. Thanks for that. It made me feel good. You look great!
ReplyDeleteHere I am..hours after a barium swallow and chest xray. Sick to my stomach..and wishing I could have something to chew on besides liquids (who chews liquids?) needing some inspiration and you just gave it to me. Thank you, thankyou, Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove the jeans.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm also fixated on the surgery socks, I have to admit. I kept mine and wear them around the house all the time. Very fashion forward.
Hot, Hot, Hot.
ReplyDeleteI've got nothing else to say.
Nice butt Miss Amy! You look fantastic and continue to inspire me!

ReplyDeleteI'm de-lurking to say two things:
ReplyDelete1) I really, really needed this post today, so THANK YOU for posting it. You just have no idea how much I needed to see some "Go You!" words and pics. I'm grateful for not only this post but for your honesty all along.
and
2) Love the new blog look. Haven't seen it because I read this in a reader and so no visual, but the new look rocks. :) Maybe it too had a band put on?! :)
Did I ever tell you how amazing you are! You look great!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I recently found your blog and read it from the beginning. I am AMAZED and AWED by your story and your journey. I just wanted to tell you you are an inspiration, especially to those just starting on the journey. The jeans are great as well!
ReplyDeleteJust like everyone else, I am amazed at the constant inspiration you continue to give me. Thank you Thank you ! You look great!!
ReplyDeleteYou look AMAZING in those jeans!! Great to look back at pre band photo's to see how far we have come!
ReplyDeleteLove the fancy jeans honey! At Anthropologie where I used to work...we only carry designer jeans and it was always fun seeing all the awesome jeans come in but sad because we only carried them in size 0-12...but one day!! One day Ill be sporting those hot jeans :)
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party here as I'm just catching back up in blogland - but man - you are rockin' those jeans!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing ! I just got my surgery date- Feb. 28th and I am freaking out with fear, but I stated to read your blog and I've calmed down considerably. Thank you- you look wonderful and are a great inspiration!You have a new follower in me.
