Me, not my clothes anymore!
I seem to go through cycles of losing and then shrinking, losing and then shrinking. I haven't lost anything in the last month and I was kinda discouraged, but knew I hadn't exercised as much as I should have over Christmas and whatnot. So just for fun I thought I would try on my jeans that didn't quite fit before Christmas and THEY FIT! They are the same size as my others, but just a bit smaller (must be the brand). So I took my measurements, which I also hadn't done in a month and everything is the same except my hips are 1.25 inches smaller!!!! yay!!!! Must be why the jeans fit now.
Since July I have lost 34 pounds, many inches and gone from an 18/20 to a solid 16 (even the smaller ones apparently!) Next goal, size 14 here I come!
