Hey Barb its Melanie, Congrats on the 54 pounds how exciting.  I have not lost that much I am about 22 pounds down and have dropped two sizes.  I was so excited to order my wedding dress in a size 20 not a 26.  I have one size to go before it will fit right.  I did get it to zip up, but it does not look that great, but still it zips.  Its so good to hear your out of the womans department.  I did put an XL shirt on and it almost looked really good.  I can definately notice the difference.  Its amazing.  Take care, Melanie
