  • So, I posted a lil while about getting into my size 18 jeans. Down from a 22. Well, today after my size 22 capris fell off for the umpteenth time I went to try on shorts. Found a pair of size 16's that fit. I am so happy. They are a little tight(I can button them but, if I ate a big meal would feel squashed..lol) but hoping in a couple weeks they will be really comfortable. And I tried on a pair of L shorts and they fit. Used to wear XL.

    I am so happy. Have not been in a 16 since high school!
  • wooo hooo that's great!
  • Oh wow! That's pretty awesome! CONGRATS!
  • That is awesome! Keep going and those will be falling off too!
  • Yay!
  • Yippee!!!
  • It is so funny because the scale has slowed so much...but, obviously something is moving.
  • Way to go! There's nothing like fitting into a new, smaller size!
  • re:
    That's awesome. I just got into 16s myself, and it feels shockingly good!

    I see your ticker mentions Disney as your goal. That's the same reason I started - we're going in July. It's a fantastic motivator!

  • I just got into 16Ws; right now I'm hoping the next few pounds will get me into 16 in misses. I WILL have me a pair of levi's!!!

    But doesn't it feel great to be in a 16? My new LB shorts are a 16 and they are the cutest and most comfy shorts ever. I am happy! You should be too!

    We went last July and the October before. And I know I could fit on the rides as the fat me...but, I want to be able to not feel bad about where the bar goes when I put it down. I don't want the bar way up on my girls because mom is huge.

    I am so happy. But, can't wait to say a 14...lol
  • WOOOHOOO!!! AMAZING!!! GOOD JOB!!!!
  • Congrats! dropping a size is brilliant, and always feels amazing when you're out shopping for new clothes and get to pick out that new size. I find the style range varies considerably the smaller the sizes, which is great.


    The only downside is having to buy a ton of new clothes that actually fit! (although if you can afford it, it's not really a downside, haha.)

    I wish I had the money. Have decided that a majority of my clothes now should be second hand. The store here sells new stuff as second hand for about $5 each. Since I don't plan on stayin in them I don't want to spend a lot on something I am going to give away. I have already found a better selection in the 16's than the 22's I used to wear...can't wait to get to below a 10.
