Before I started this journey I went pants shopping. And it was painful for me. I started at a size 8 when trying them on and by size 11 I did not wanna know what size I was. Went to the mens section and got a pair of pants I knew I could fit, paid my money and left. Swearing I would never try a womens pair of jeans ever again.

Well today that all changed. Today I was at the store with my youngest son visiting the hubby at work. After we got done talking I decided to walk around the store a bit. Well I saw a rack of some clearance pants. All over them a size 8 average. So I say what the heck I'll try them on. Besides I kinda want to know what size I am in womens pants. And they fit me Oh My Gosh I could not believe. Actually in those pants I probably could have wore a size 7 because the pants were a little loose around the waist.

I was so so happy. I just could not believe it and I kept saying that in the dressing room.

YOU GO GIRL!!! I know you feel amazing. Keep up the good work!

Hi NeedtoLoseinGA!

Congrats, how thrilling!! I *SO* hear you about not even wanting to know your actual pants size Most of my pants are loose drawstring ("adjustable") to avoid finding out my real size.

Size 8 is awesome, 7 is awesome-r!

congrats!!!! thats so exciting. I can only dream of the day!

oh my gosh what anacheivement! well done

Way to go!! Glad that you had found a clothing that fits right,,You go girl!!

That must have been the greatest feeling!!

I have a pair of jeans on a shelf in my closet, they won't come up past my thighs. One of these days they are going to fit, I'm not giving up

Good for you! It is so much fun to find you can fit in a smaller size. Congrats.

Way to go! you must feel great, and have definitely earned it!

That is so wonderful!! Doesn't it feel good to fit into some pants you weren't able to a few months ago!! Always such an ego boost for me!!! Congrats on the size 8....and maybe a size 7!!!!

That's awesome! WTG!
