so...i took a chance and i ordered my birthday dress 2 sizes smaller then i was this time last year thinking hmm who knows maybe it'll fit if not i'll save it for the holidays....well...i got my dress in today and i tried it on. fits perfectly!!!! woohoo...and if that wasn't enough i weighed in today and realized the few pesky lbs i had that wouldnt go away finally did! ive officially lost 50lbs now!!! woohoo!!!! my week has been made

Congratulations! I'm sure that's a great feeling.

Keep doing what you're doing, you're nearly halfway to your goal!

Happy birth day and congratulations. Next year you will be on your goal weight

it is. im only 5lbs away from mid goal and like 10 to being my lowest weight in h.s. im so excited! and with reason of course lol

Way to GO!!! It's such a great feeling when something fits like that!!

Congrats and keep it up!!

it is! i was really worried it wouldnt fit. its the same size as my prom dress (size 14) from h.s. and although i fit into the dress i cant zip it all the way cuz my bust is bigger then it was in h.s. with the new dress i bought it from torrid since i know their dresses tend to accommodate bigger busts and it just fit me perfectly woohoo. i even bought a dress in a size 12 to motivate me to lose even more weight so i can wear it for the holidays lol.

Awesome work!! It is exciting to fit into new clothes!! I LOVE to do the same thing, buy clothes a size small or a bit too tight and then work to fit into them! It is such a great motivator!! Keep up the awesome work!!

that is true...however i finally tried on the size 12 and shockingly enough it fit me. though i do need to lose a bit more so that it'll look even better on me but yeah...i was so surprised at that haha but im loving it!!! its def an awesome feeling to be able to fit into smaller sizes

Congratulations! What a wonderful feeling it has to be to fit in that dress, make sure to take lots of pictures.

i was going to but im horrible at posing for pics lol it's just not my thing. though i am still excited. i went to my job where they were having clearance sales on some of our clothing. bought a couple of pair of jeans for like 10$. i was so shocked i bought a size 12 in jeans and they fit...a bit tight but they still buttoned lol thats all that matters to me cuz i always say i'll know when to change pants when my skinny jeans aren't skinny anymore which is what i had to do. i even bought a couple of size 10s now im working towards that =] i think you're right getting smaller sizes does make a great motivator cuz you just want to be able to fit into them.
