Thank you so much. It really is AMAZING and MIND-BLOWING! I see you had the good fortune of having Dr Aceves as you doc.  I know your experience had to be as good as mine. Good luck on your journey. NO matter what things you encounter just keep doing the next RIGHT thing and you will keep moving forward...all in time...it will drive you crazy sometimes but it simply works.
Good luck.

It is really funny some of the things that are affected by weight loss.  I carry a gun with a concealed carry permit and I had to get a smaller gun because I couldn't "hide" my old carry gun without the fat.  Yea!  Weight loss and a new pistol.  Life is good. 
PS.  I shoot competively so I am safe with handguns.
I am not big boned!  Bones don't jiggle!

That is so funny..I do the same thing!  It is good to re-live the excitement for sure. Thank you very much for responding and you are doing sensational. I will never be a 4...I am just not built to be a 4 but I am so INCREDIBLY happy with my 8 that it feels like a 4 for sure:)))

I'm constantly hit by the mind games I continue to play instinctively about my body size.  I still question if I will fit into a booth, a chair, stadium seats, etc.  Though I'm 48% of my starting weight, I still think of myself taking up the "old" Me's physical space.

Yeah, I totally get that! Mind games for sure. REally have to do a reality check some times. I even have to touch my waist to make sure it really is mine and that I am still there....HAHAHA. You know what I mean:))) I still feel like something has taken over my body...THANK THE GOOD LORD ABOVE:)
Great job on your AMAZING weight loss... you have really kicked it to the curb:)
