I bought a pair of 1st goal (2 sizes down) jeans that were my fav jeans but smaller when I found them on sale back in early May. I have tried them on every few days and keep them hung over my mirror. Well tonight, I got them to close! Not in a I can wear them out kinda way- but last time they were INCHES (maybe 4) from closeing! Wooohoooo I was so happy I cried and jumped around.

I don't know why I always though weight loss was impossible? So impossible I never really tried I have a long way to go but I'm on my way!

If you can do it, I can do it and if I can do it- anyone can.

Awesome Denise!

I do the exact same thing. I have a pair of pants a friend of mine gave me almost 3 years ago. She lost 130 lbs. I started this thing in a snug 28. These are a 24 and have NO stretch in them whatsoever. I put them on a couple of months ago and they wouldn't even close. I put them on last night and they zip, button and are ALMOST ready for public view. Just gotta get the muffin top under control.

Congratulations and good luck to you!

Congrats! I love when once-too-tight pants now fit! Even better - pretty soon they will be too big!

Thats a great way to tell your losing weight and inches. I have the same problem my old jeans from before I got pregnant are 20w and my ones I wear now are 22w I had the baby and gained more weight I was 215 when I got pregnant after I had her I went up to 260. I am now down to 237 and I just got the 20's to button definately not ready for public view yet they are still to tight in the waist and Muffin Top is so not attractive lol. I can't wait to be in like a 14

Congrats, Denise!
It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? I have also downsized into a pair of jeans that were a couple of weeks still a few inches from closing, and now they fit and are not even tight at all. I can barely believe it. So give yourself maybe 2 more weeks and you will be able to wear them comfortably.
