Whoo Maori That is such a great feeling to have. And as you loose more weight. What seems like a small space now will soon feel like it is palatial space!

2thinchix, that is such a good feeling when you don't feel like your presence is imposing on other people's comfort levels.

You can sit down and relax and enjoy what is going on!

Congrats

Well, I did it. yes I did. I flew home in 1, yes count them 1 seat.

Last couple of years I buy 2 seats for my big tooshi!

But not this past week. And I was even comfortable not imposing in the other seat at all. And could relax reading and talking to the person next to me!

And to boot NO seat belt extender. I fit into the seat belts!!!!

Whoohooo... Doing the happy dance!

Lovinita- I love reading this thread and your posts. Allows me something to look forward to! Congrats on your loss!

I'll dance with you! That is great! The last time I flew the tight seat belt and my claustrophobia almost did me in. I took the train or bus after that when I needed to travel - no seat belts. But my darlin' daughter doesn't live on an Amtrak route and 4 days on the bus would be a bit much, so I'll be flying in 2 weeks to visit her - and I think I'll be a bit more comfy this time.

Lovinita, I well remember our last year's flight to Mexico (we go every winter) and, although I had an aisle seat, I was grateful the woman beside me was much smaller. As it happened, it was fairly comfortable for both of us, especially because she had her significant other in the window seat. I'm so happy, with 25 lbs off, I will fit well into my seat in January!

Chantel30, thanks It looks like you are well on your way. 40+ pounds down... That is a great accomplishment!

Bonnie, I hear you! Whenever I fly to dayton, ohio to visit home. There are no direct flights. And I have to fly a puddle jumper. Packed like a can of sardines. Being so heavy I knew if anything happened regardless, I was dead because their was no room for my body to manuever around things or people.

Now with the extra weight off my apprehension was less when flying in those plans this time!

Caroxx,

That is something to look forward to... Sit back and relax on not worrying about if you are bothering the other person is such a great feeling...

Enjoy your trip!

Wearing tight jeans to Thanksgiving dinner and not needing to undo the button during or after dinner

I'm happy I can finally annoy my mother with the "Republicans for Voldemort" t-shirt my brother-in-law gave me three years ago. So much fun!

That is so awesome! I am so looking forward to traveling again.

Haha Matlock, that is too funny

I am now able to wear shirts that were given to me a decade a go that I never fit in. And some shirts that were given that didn't fit at all are now too big!

Livinright, oh wow that brings back memories of my dad overeating at a buffet! LOL...

Tighter jeans are awesome Especially when I don't have flab hanging over them and feel like I am waddling around

Oh yes I did! I went to an old theatre the wilbur theatre downtown boston. Was able to sit in the seats fairly comfortably. Able to go up about 4 flights of steps back and forth to the bathroom which was in the basement. No problem!

And enjoyed a good comedic show by Bill Cosby!

Who's got the big butt now? Not me! Hehehehe..

Tommorrow's challenge is to go to another show up in Rockport and listen to Cape Ann Symphony play.

Oh Oh Oh... And I managed *not* to gain weight on my 5 day hiatus to visit my folks in Ohio. I lost 1.5 pounds which was great!

Saying "No" was whicked easy
