So I gained 70+ pounds while being sick. I'm finally off the medication that made me gain the weight and I'm starting to feel like myself again. I've lost some but still have a ways to go to get all that 70+ off...and I was at least 20 pounds over ideal to begin with.

I've been stressing about what to wear to Vegas. I have lots of clothes in my closet that don't fit and there's no way I want to go buy "fat" clothes just for this trip. So today, out of desperation, I decided to try on a couple dresses to see by how much they didn't fit....and to my shock two of the dresses fit! :shocked: They are a bit snug but it's acceptable...they just don't fit like they once did when I was much thinner.

That's wonderful Janet! I'm wearing a pair of jeans that's 2 sizes smaller than my other jeans. It's amazing what those old clothes will do for our self confidence!

Are they comfortable, like you won't feel awkward? I'd go shopping anyway, LOL... because snug would bug me.

But congratulations! I know that you must feel a lot better being back in the range where you belong.
