Size 6?!!!! That's definitely something to celebrate!

I just had my WI and I'm down 4lbs this week!!!! I haven't had a loss like that since the 190's! I'm so thrilled... that I've decided to try and go another 10lbs. My hubby joined me a few months ago and we've been doing IP together. He is ready to phase off and was waiting for me so we can do it together. Think he'll mind ;)?

Saharag Size 6! That's awesome! This is why you should post; we all start to realize what is possible! Congrats. I am currently at a 12 in my jeans, but I am looking forward to working my way down to single digits.

Stacynak So glad you are back! You did well to take a break and not gain weight!

My WI is not until Saturday, but my home scale has already started to move this week. I am hoping that that means I will do well this weekend. I feel like I am moving out of my slow down. January has been good.

Thank you so much! It's great to 100% back OP.

That's wonderful, Iron Woman! Thanks for sharing! You've been missed here.

I've been watching all of you who started in similar weight ranges, and are currently just a little below me and hoping I'd catch up in size.

You could've knocked me down with a feather when I got into some stretch CK skinny jeans in a size 12 today. Finally, a pair of jeans that stretches over the larger parts but fits my waist perfectly.

So happy. I haven't been this size since I was 22. :)

That's a wonderful NSV, Amanda! :carrot::carrot: Enjoy!

I made goal 12/31, after having started on IP 8/1, and lurking on these boards ever since. I'm about halfway through Phase 3 and a little apprehensive about starting maintenance. I think I can safely say now, that I am into a size 8. The Levi's skinny jeans I got a few weeks ago are an 8, but I attribute them fitting to the fact that they had some Lycra in them. Today the size 6 suit I ordered online came, and fit beautifully. Not tight at all. I actually have more breathing room in them than I am used to. Just can't quite wrap my head around the idea that I am a size 8.

Yay, hellafat! You are always welcome here! Thanks for sharing your success! Looking forward to single digit jeans.

Congrats Hellafat! I hear you on the not quite believing it. It seems like a dream that we'll wake from at some stage. Hope maintenance is going well for you. :)

I'd like to do more of it, but as I have so much farther to go I'm saving the worst splurges when I know where I'll end. There seems to be disparity between what the bod pod results say (165) and where I'd like to be (between 140 and 155) so we'll see as I get closer.

Right now I'm enjoying shopping in the family's wardrobe - my new "boyfriend jeans" courtesy of hubby's left-offs almost fit, so that'll be my next goal. :)

So hoping to be into the 170s this week, but I'm doubtful. :)

hellafat 01-25-2015 10:47 AM

The whole concept of small sizes is so hard to wrap my brain around. In my muddled state of mind, I misspoke in my earlier post. My new suit was a size 8, not a 6. Both sizes seem to be much smaller than I had ever hoped to achieve again, so some transference set it. Just want to set the record straight. I'm thrilled to be fitting into size 8s in anything, with or without the help of Lycra. Had to clarify my mistake.
