Just something small...

Lyadeia

I am not at my goal size yet, but at least this first little success is one step closer. I thought that I would share since the small successes are important too since they add up to those big ones!

Back in October I bought a new pair of jeans that were a size bigger than I was used to. I decided that no matter what the number was, I was going to buy some jeans that were comfortable and didn't create that horrible muffin top. The jeans that I picked out are not low rise jeans, but they also do not go up to the belly button. When I bought them, they were a bit snug all over, but the next size up was just too big...

I haven't worn jeans in about a week and a half because I have been wearing sweats or other cloth pants. Today I decided to wear some jeans since it was a little colder out. And those same jeans that I just bought a month ago were fitting pretty loose on me! Even though they aren't supposed to be low rise jeans worn on the hips, that is exactly where I have to wear them because they are too loose to wear them where they are supposed to be worn.

For me, this is exciting news because even though I know that we can't spot reduce, I wanted my trouble areas to shrink...and my trouble spots are my hips and stomach. This means that I have lost some inches (or even just partial inches) around my hips and waist. WOO HOO!!!

Next week right before Thanksgiving is when I will measure for sure and know just how many inches are gone. I am also hoping that my weight drops below 140.

I might even stop cheating on my foods so often if I get some good results next week, lol!!! :laugh: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

That is so awesome and the timing is perfect. The exact same story happened with me and I'm actually like augh! because I only have one pair of pants that fit at this point. The others are huge and I have to pull up to my belly button to make my butt look good.

Congrats, girly! I'm going to celebrate with some more cardio later hahahaha...

Thanks everyone! And all this going in the same week of the month than I am normally bloated...ahem. :laugh: :bigsmile:

I don't even seem to be craving things as much as normal this month. Hmmm...another good side effect of doing all that high intensity cardio? I have been burning at least 500 calories with each workout....something for me to remember!
