It's good to see success stories documented.

Congratulations.

Here's to many years of good health!

I just looked at your blog! Your photos are amazing.
Welcome to the saggy skin club
I figure at my age 59, I'm not buying that bikini I wished I could have worn at 18 so the saggy skin won't be seen by anyone.
Fully clothed (and in much nice clothes I might add) I look pretty damned good and YOU DO TOO!

I refused to wear tight clothes when I was young because it was too revealing of my curves. Now I won't wear anything but tight stuff, as I need the extra support. And I worked hard to get here, so I am not covering up again!

I like my skirts that hug, my jeans that are snug and my form fitting dresses. My husband approves and that's good enough for me.

from 302 lbs - 131 lbs damned right I'm going to wear whatever the hell I want LOL

I even wear more jewelry now. Nothing gawdy just a few accent pieces.
Years ago I didn't want to be noticed so everything was dark colours or black. Very little jewelry ... not now.

I like classic styles.

I can relate to the extra support needed. My ONLY complaint is , now this is just between GPV and me so the rest of you STOP reading!!

ok, my only complaint. No boobs LOL

I was bustier at this weight when younger. Me, I am fine with it. Easier on my back and I actually look thinner when they are smaller!
