Soooo, I have been rummaging through the tubs in my closet and found some shorts I bought at Lane Bryant about 10 years ago. They are 18/20's and I haven't been able to wear them for at least 4 years. I put them on today and there isn't even a muffin top!!! Granted they are stretchy, but also they are not stretched to the limit! They are comfortable. Then I started looking through my shoe boxes and found an old pair of low heel (not flat) thong sandals that I also haven't worn in at least four years and I am wearing those with the shorts and a shirt that is no longer *too tight.* What a difference 20 pounds can make! I am so excited - I might even put on makeup today!
Now to get the other size 18's in my closet to fit. 5-10 more pounds should do it!!
Just keep going, and going and going - no stopping, just continuing and there will be so many more incredible things headed your way. It's delightful beyond belief.
A few months ago I bought a pair of the cutest skinny jeans on sale for $5.00, but they only had a size 12 (I'm currently size 18). I bought them anyway and anytime I feel frustrated, I look at those jeans and think how awesome I'm going to look when I finally fit into them. I'm getting closer all the time.
Good for you for such an accomplishment! I'll think of you when I get into those skinny jeans.
Nsv!!!
now go put on your make up and strut you stuff! 
Congrats!
