SIZE 8!!!!

small victory for me
I've been in a size 18 pants/jeans for over a year. Today, I got in a size 16 jeans!!!!!!! :smile: They're Lane Bryant so they're made for my body type but I didn't think I was going to get them buttoned/zipped. After a minute of determined tugging, they buttoned!!!! There's no extra room in there but that's ok. I'm going…

Importance of measuring
It's been almost 6 months since I started seriously working the MFP plan and trying to be a healthier me. I've lost 21 lbs and have been at a stand still for a month or more.

Even the jeans slip right on, (even if they are…

46lbs to go...halfway there w/pics!!
I started this amazing journey back in April 2010 after years of yo-yo dieting. And like many out there, I wanted a quick fix, couldn't find it, so I gave up and continued my bad habits. Out of many mini-wake up calls, not sure which one finally did it, but I was told about MFP and decided, what the heck, why not? I cut…
