I squeezed my booty into a size 8!!!!
On 4/23 I got down to 172 and I've been up and down ever since, back at 172 today. Highest was 177 on 5/3, my best friend got married this weekend and I drank and ate what I wanted. Sometimes when I have these ups and downs I get a little discouraged but I know I will keep losing eventually. So I go to the store and try on smaller clothes to make myself feel better.
Today at lunch I thought let's go to Target and see if I can fit into a size 8. Okay, I'll admit not the best look in the world (hello muffin top) but they button and zipper
I didn't buy them; I'll give it another 5 - 10 lbs before I try a size 8 again. I'm still excited that a size 8 is in my near future
Not to bad
The mess the tank top is hiding
And the side view

Almost! AL-MOST THERE! Way to go! They don't look as bad as you think, though. Your muffin top is like a mini-muffin top, so in 10 lbs, you'll be perfect...

Mug, thank you I just had to comment about the "good enough" just because I've got those comments from some friends.
I've thought long and hard about my goals and what I want to look like. I don't want to look "good enough", I don't want to be "skinny", shoot I don't even want to look "normal". I've fallen in love with weight training and I have a look in mind that I want to reach. I want to loose more body fat and build more muscle, if I reach my "goal physique" and I weigh 150 or 140 or 130 it doesn't matter. Here are some of my inspiration pics. Might not be the look for everyone but I WILL look like this, I don't care if it will take another 6 months or a year but I WILL DO THIS!
This is Jamie Eason my #1 inspiration!

You look amazing! But don't let anyone tell you that you need to stop or you look good enough already. You won't look good enough until you FEEL good enough!
I must say, though, one thing that amazes me about this site, and progress pictures especially, is how varying size/weight correspondence is. You might think there is a certain weight range for a certain size, but that is not right at all! I wore a size 8 at 130lbs... and here you are in one at 170! There are so many different factors about weight and how people fit into clothes.
Good luck with your weight loss and muscle building! I can't wait to see pics of you looking super strong and awesome!

Agreed 100% I think it's crazy that I can fit into a size 8. Even when I was in the Army I wasn't this fit and I weighed less, I wore a size 12 when I was 160. Here's a pic my husband took tonight when I got home from the gym...the guns are starting to show
