Finally after almost 30 pounds gone, I took my measurements this morning and went clothes shopping. I have not clothes shopped for a long time, so I was kind of excited. Anyway, I bought two size 6 tops & a pair of size 8 pants. It might sound silly, but I was getting a little emotional in the fitting room trying on those clothes.

I don't post often because I don't think I am very articulate, but I do read as many posts every time I visit. I want to thank everyone here in 3FC, without your support and inspiring stories, I don't think I can ever come this far. Still a long way to go, but I know I will get there.

Congrats on losing weight and the smaller sizes. 30 pounds since February is awesome (if i do say so myself)!!!

And post more, as much as you get help from us, we all can get a lot of help and support from you!

Congratulations !I see our figures are quite similar, i haven't gone shoppig yet, but you are giving me ideas.

Besides the awesome wt. loss, I think you are very articulate!

Since when did a little loss for (correct, inspiring, brilliant....fill in the blank) words stop any of the rest of us from posting? LOL. Congratuations! Mary

Well, now YOU are an inspiring story, just hanging out up there in the NW quietly losing weight! Congrats and I hope we hear from you more often!

I most certainly found you to be very articulate. You expressed yourself beautifully. I know EXACTLY what you mean about getting emotional in the dressing room. It's happened to me quite a few times since I started my journey. I had overwhelming feelings of joy as I was first fitting into "regular" sized clothing (I actually sobbed like a baby if I recall) and then again as they sizes were getting smaller and smaller.

Congratulations on a magnificent achievement. And please, don't hesitate to post more often.

Great work! Doesn't size 8 feel wonderful?

I am so happy for you!

That is awesome. Please do come back and post more often. We love to hear how everyone is doing on their way down the scale. I am so happy for you!! I think I will probably cry once I get back into a single digit pants size. I can't wait!! Congrats on your lose and good luck on reaching your goal.
