Smile Down a Size!!!
I thought I'd gotten rid of all my smaller clothes (kinda depressing having them sitting there when my weight was just steadily increasing), but I found a bag I'd forgotten to take to the thrift store today. It had this cute little skirt that I used to love in it, which is a size 12... I figured i'd try it on just in case, and... it fit! It may not be falling off my hips, but it sure felt good to take off my (loose) size 14 jeans and actually have a size 12 skirt zip up - without any sucking in on my part! And since it's a lovely sunny day, i think it'll stay on for the rest of the day!

that is an awesome feeling isn't it!!! i kind of did the same thing last night. looking for a dress to wear to a wedding this weekend, i tried on some of my size16 outfits i had not been able to wear the past year because they were too tight and they fit. with a little extra room. not enough to go down to a 14 yet, but roomy enough to fit until i do drop a couple more inches.

Congratulations!!! Great feeling!! Keep up the great work!!!

Yay that is great, Lumi! Last weekend I was trying to figure out what type of top to wear under a gauzy thing for dress night on my cruise in May. I tried on a blouse that had been way too small... and on it went! Still snugger than I like but I have two months to go and also will have something over it so it won't really show! But I don't expect it to be tight by May 21!!
