Don...that is so awesome!! Wow, 11 pants sizes - simply incredible! Since I've always been heavy, it's been amazing to me when I try on a size I never thought I'd buy and it actually fits.

Tonight we went to dinner with my father-in-law and "new mom" (his lady friend) who we haven't seen since January. New mom looked at me and said "you look like you've lost some weight. A lot of weight." It's definitely a great feeling!

Since it's getting chilly around here I tried on my coats the other night - all of them are way too big. I really thought I'd get away with wearing my old wool coat, but there's no way! So, I'm looking for a new coat, and will be donating the old ones to a couple of my favorite charities.
