Again, I have some seriously unflattering lighting in my apartment! I promise that the circles under my eyes don't look like this in real life! :)

The lighting in your Bathroom is not as bad as it appears...nor are the bathroom walls so pink! I am so proud of your losses and of the fact the new you is as sweet as ever your are a treasure.
Catherine,
Retail therapy is my favorite- I'm glad you found some new things. I'm also loving the vlog - I'll be brave enough to try it one day. I am up for any stray 18's or 20's that may need a good home. :)

Catherine,
I can see your collarbone! You really look terrific and YEAH for new clothes!
Thought your vlog was great, I totally relate to the "I might need these some time". I've kept all of my fat clothes every time I've lost weight before, and I realized with your post, that I'll not have to do that anymore. I may keep that one pair of 24 pants, just to remember what I've accomplished, but everything else will be gone!!!!!
I wish I lived closer to you! I really do... I am at that stupid in between size (I tried on this gorgeous burgundy trench coat .. a short length) the other day and the 16 was too big, but the 14 was a little small. ARGH!!
Again, and I can't say this enough, you just look gorgeous. And no, you won't get big again because out of the many many of us here blogging, you are one that seems totally committed 100 per cent. You're a doll! (but not one of those scary Chuckie kind of ones.. ok shutting up now!!)

Cara, I adore you! Funny thing -- I totally hate clowns AND creepy dolls!! So, it's tough for me to even SAY that I look like I have clown clothes on, as obviously, that would be the last thing I'd want to be (since all clowns are de facto creepy)!!
YAY Catherine! You know, the head game may be the hardest hurdle to get over - so good for you for losing the clothes because you will NOT need them again! If you are looking for a home, I could use some appropriate work shirts (16-18) - I actually have to do "business" wear now. Yuck! HOWEVER - you've already been VERY generous, so I would prefer you give them to others first!!!
I think the hardest part of the band sometimes is actually realizing that everything is for real and not going to change.
If you have any random size 18 things, I'm too the point where everything that I own in a 22/20 is falling off of me. I actually had a pair of pants fall off when trying to stand up in class. Thankfully, no one noticed.
ANNNDDD if you know of anyone who needs some casual 20/22's, let me know, because I have a ton of stuff that could use a good home.
It was a couple of weeks before my husband realized I would never need the bigger size clothes again! Yes, for the first time in my life as I take the weight off I'm not putting the bigger clothes in a tote for later!! What an awesome feeling! You look great! Keep it up! ;-)
Let me correct that. Size 16. I went shopping today and an 18 is slightly big on me now. I'm hoping to be completely out of an 18 as soon as possible!
Colleen, that is so awesome! The only downside (and it's a minor one!) is that I don't have anything for you in a 16! Nonetheless, you must feel fantastic. That is a major accomplishment!
I WAS IN YOUR VLOG!! lol!!! your so sweet and I Loved the Vlog! I cant wait to get ths stuff you sent me!!! Im sure I will love them and I am very thankful! Now off to find a dress! :o)
