Talking I'm finally able to fit into my clothes again!!
Well, some of them. But it's a really promising start! Every time I am able to reintroduce an item from before I moved to Atlanta, I feel a little bit closer to goal.

Needless to say, Southern living was not so good for my waistline or my wardrobe. I'm slowly reclaiming my life and my body one pair of pants at a time.

I have 5 big boxes of clothes in 3 different sizes in my storage bin! LOL!

Most of the clothes I haven't seen in years! I can't wait until I can start breaking out my old pants (one WHOLE BIG box full).

Congrats! And I can TOTALLY relate as I live in the South now. They even FRY their icecream around here!

congrats on the weight loss, i know the feeling about getting into older clothes. i am thinner than my older clothes, i had to go to goodwill and dump the clothes off and buy a whole new wardrobe. hopefully, just one more clothe size change and ill be done buying clothes.

I see you are in atlanta too, and saw you doing the 5k runs, I am interested in doing this, but my running is really a fast walk at best, I do walk 1 1/2 miles a day about 6-7 miles a week. and do fitness kickboxing and other excercises.

I am curious on what you do or if there is a group of "starters" in atlanta i can look to join.

god i CANNOT wait until i actually have to buy new clothes because what i have is too big. truth be told, these clothes i'm very slowly beginning to be able to wear again were actually my "fat" clothes from a previous era, so i definitely take this achievement with a grain of salt.

Awesome!! How terrific for you! I personally cannot wait until I am able to fit into some of my cute clothes again!! Though the scale is moving for me, I am still not 'seeing' any big changes yet and it is so frustating!! So I know how good it must feel to get back into those old clothes!! Good for you and keep up the hard work!!

yeah it was a while before i could see any real difference clothes-wise. it's only just begun for me in the last few weeks. while i'm finally able to add in some of my old clothes, i'm mostly still wearing all the clothes i was wearing before i started to lose weight. it's just that those things fit differently than before.

Yay sws!

I came to Korea 6 months ago with an entire jumbo suitcase of too-small clothes thinking the lbs would just fall off. Ha!... I was actually a bit worried at first that I brought more too-small clothes than clothes that fit me!

Now 6 months later, I fit into almost half the clothes. If I lose about 2 more inches from my hips & waist, I'll probably fit into 20 more items. And the lbs certainly didn't FALL OFF. I worked them off!!

My goal is to fit into everything by the time I leave at the end of August. Thankfully I was smart and most of the remaining small clothes are summery.

So... I hear ya, girl! I found two more things that fit me last week and felt like I won the lottery! Or at least a decent scratch off ticket prize..
